Character evaluation

She is dazzling, the combination of valiant and sexy charm is just right, and has a strange evil. Zhang Min is good at playing women in the world and dealing with gangsters. He is a classic representative of the women around the big men on the screen. She is the most spirited chivalrous woman in Hong Kong movies in the 1990s: Zhao Min, the most noble woman so far, a Zi, the cunning and weird girl in the eight part of Tianlong, and the naughty Princess Jinzhiyuye in Xinbi Blood Sword. She is the most beautiful actress in history. In Stephen Chow's best son-in-law, truant Weilong, Lu Ding Ji, gambler, gambler and nine grade sesame official, Zhang Min is cool and charming with a strong sense of existence (commented by the morning news).

Zhang Min is mature, charming and heroic. Her eyes are as clear as lightning. She gives people a strong sense of oppression. She is full of invasion and charm. Her beauty is suffocating (online review of China Daily).

Zhao Min, who is played by Zhang Min in the story of killing the Dragon by relying on heaven, is an unforgettable classic because of the combination of Zhang Min's outstanding beauty and unique heroism, and her interpretation of the character's unruly character.

She has made dozens of films, most of which are martial arts films. What is remembered most is naturally a beautiful face like a clear water mirror. But the character with distinct personality is more like a part of her character. Zhao Min, the tyrannical princess in the story of killing the Dragon by relying on heaven, and the cold faced girl in the eye of the storm are so impressive. At the same time, I also remember that Zhang Min did not accept any media interviews, which was a rare exception among the stars at that time (Nanfang online review).

She is very straightforward, and she has a lot of love scenes in fan Fu Da Yuan. Every time, she takes the initiative to express her feelings. Her language is straightforward and never affectation (Sun Honglei comments).
