Early Life

Wenwen grew up in China though very little is known in terms of her family and her education.

Growing up, she learned to speak Cantonese, Mandarin and English fluently, indicative of good quality education.

Following her passion for music, she attended a music school where she learned how to play several instruments, including the guitar and percussions, before deciding to focus on her skill with the violin and the percussion. This led her to a lot of local popularity as she performed in local festivals along with parties where she was invited or hired to perform. Building her reputation, she then looked for work within the entertainment industry. While many could surmise that she was on her way towards popularity in China, her next move was a bigger one.

Karate Kid

In 2010, Han got her biggest break when she was cast in the Hollywood martial arts film entitled “The Karate Kid”, a remake of the 1984 film of the same name. The film was an international co-production by the US, Hong Kong, and China, and was aired as “The Kung Fu Dream” in China, with Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan and Taraji P. Henson in starring roles. Producers of the film include Jaden’s parents Will Smith, and Jada Pinkett Smith. Unlike the original film, the remake is set in China and features Kung Fu as opposed to Japanese Karate. The film.

The film received generally positive reviews, and earned $359.1 million on a budget of $40 million. The film focuses on 12 year-old Dre Parker who moves from the US to Beijing, China along with his mother. He becomes the target of a neighborhood bully which leads him to form an alliance with an aging maintenance man, but who is actually a kung fu master and teaches him the art of self-defense. The Mainland China version of the film had bullying shortened by the censors, and a kissing scene removed leading to a slightly different movie.

Aftermath

Following the success of Wenwen’s appearance in “Karate Kid”, she became highly sought after by China directors as well as some international productions, including a few in Hollywood. However, she did not follow through with the success of the film, and decided that she would stop acting to focus more on her music career, and continued the development of her violin and percussion skills. She now works as a professional, appearing in top musical shows around Asia.

She is also a frequent performer in several China festivals. There was a strong response for her to continue towards an acting career by her fans, but she never really paid a lot of attention to it. There were even rumors that she might return to acting if a second “Karate Kid” movie would be created, however,this is unlikely, possibly due to Jaden Smith deciding to take a break from acting after negative responses from some of his acting projects after “Karate Kid”. Jackie Chan is also very busy with international acting projects.

Personal Life and Social Media

There is also a Twitter account with over 17,000 followers which labels itself as an official account, but it is likely a fan account due to how her posts and photos are presented.

She is likely active on popular social media websites in China, such as WeChat, RenRen, and Weibo.
