Biography

Annie Wu, a multifaceted Taiwanese actress and model, entered the world on August 21, 1978, marking the beginning of a remarkable career that would span decades and captivate audiences across the globe. As she ventured into the world of entertainment, Wu predominantly appeared in mainland Chinese television series, showcasing her remarkable versatility and talent to a wide and diverse audience.

Throughout her illustrious career, Wu has had the privilege of working on a wide range of projects, each one highlighting her remarkable abilities as an actress and her capacity to adapt to different roles and cultural contexts. One of her most notable roles was in the action-comedy film Police Story 4: First Strike, starring the renowned and beloved Jackie Chan, a testament to her ability to hold her own alongside some of the biggest names in the industry.

Following her initial appearances in Hong Kong movies, Wu began to gradually shift her focus towards acting in Chinese productions. Over time, she became increasingly less active in the Hong Kong entertainment scene, marking a significant transition in her career trajectory.
