This culture is in turn patriarchal-centred. Women do not have their own independent personality and personal values, and women are subordinate to men.

Femininity as a social category is defined by the maintenance of patriarchal domination（Tang, 2008,p.29）.

According to these two excerpts, Zhang Ziyi's becoming a transnational actress is seen as a betrayal of the collective. At the same time, because of the history of World War II, Zhang Ziyi's portrayal of a Japanese geisha was considered a betrayal of the nation. Under a patriarchal society, a successful transnational film star was not allowed. That is why Zhang Ziyi in media texts is always negative and morally criticised.]]> 2022-11-09 02:14:38 UTC https://padlet.com/201495487/883bsl5rsgfhnmjv/wish/2376019949 ‘I am a actor’（season1） 201495487 https://padlet.com/201495487/883bsl5rsgfhnmjv/wish/2379668114 2022-11-11 03:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/201495487/883bsl5rsgfhnmjv/wish/2379668114 ‘I am a actor’（season2） 201495487 https://padlet.com/201495487/883bsl5rsgfhnmjv/wish/2379669944 2022-11-11 03:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/201495487/883bsl5rsgfhnmjv/wish/2379669944 Zhang Ziyi as a mentor in the variety show 'I am a actor' 201495487 https://padlet.com/201495487/883bsl5rsgfhnmjv/wish/2379670407 In the show, she presents a very professional and stern image.
