In the 1960s, Guan Nanshi won Hollywood's attention by starring in the movie "the world of Susi Huang". Her achievements have provided many help and guidance for Asian American actors to enter the western film and television industry since then. She has won the recognition of a generation of American audiences with her superb acting skills and noble virtue. She integrated the material of Oriental Art into Hollywood movies and won the love of the world audience. In the movie "Susi Huang's world", the bar girl she plays looks uninhibited but kind-hearted. She accurately grasps the inner world of the character and vividly portrays the complex character through sincere and delicate performance. In other Hollywood films, she performed Chinese Flower Drum Opera, singing, dancing and other talents, showing various artistic talents (review of contemporary TV). The image she created in Hollywood movies opens up the fantasy of Western men towards Oriental women. At the same time, she has become a fashion symbol of the East and the West. Guan Nanshi is an elegant, beautiful and generous lady (comments by Wen Mingna).
