Zanilia Zhao was elated and grateful to receive a huge compliment from Kara Hui, who recently took to Weibo to write a long post expressing her admiration for the actress.
On 20 November, the veteran Hong Kong actress posted a photo of her and Zanilia, admitting that she hasn’t seen all of the younger star’s works but said that the actress has always shown a different side of her in every one of her works that Kara has seen.
“I’ve always said that an actor should have many faces, and make the audience believe that we are the characters in the play, so that they can empathise with us and walk into the play with us. Zanilia Zhao has this ability. After I watched “Article 20″ in the cinema, I became more convinced of this,” she expressed.
Praising the actress’ performance as the hearing-impaired Hao Xiuping, Kara said she “laughed with her, cried with her” and that the scene where she jumped off the building, made her “almost cried to death…”
“I can’t help but wonder, if I was given this role, how would I play it? Would I be able to be like her, silent but deafening? I’m so glad that we have such a good actor in the film industry!” she added.
In response to the praise, Zanilia commented, “Thank you for your encouragement, Sister Hong. Let’s shine together.”
