Chinese-American actress Huang Liushuang broke into Hollywood and appeared in many blockbusters. Because of her contribution to this film, she was awarded a star on the Avenue of Stars. Later, she went to Europe to develop, because of her wonderful performance in Chinatown, she was invited to attend the British royal banquet.

In Song Meiling's view, Huang Liushuang represented the image of the old China people, which was composed of laundries, restaurant owners, gangs and coolies. China also has a large number of well-educated elites who can represent the image of the new China.

Huang Liushuang was extremely depressed and miserable. In the United States, she was fed up with racial prejudice and found it difficult to integrate into the mainstream. However, in the Republic of China, represented by Song Meiling, she was rejected because of her poor screen image.

Extended data:

Less than 20 years old, Huang Liushuang was involved in more than a dozen Hollywood films. Her beautiful China baby image and mature acting skills may be due to the fact that the silent film era was not strict with her English.

It can be said that she was a smash hit, but her greatest achievement in the Hollywood film industry was that she created a beautiful image of baby China on the screen. Just as China people at that time could never enter the mainstream American society, Huang Liushuang, who was a smash hit, never had a chance to play the leading role. Besides, she didn't have a chance to receive a good script.

Unfortunately, Huang Liushuang's film career coincided with the most serious period of racial prejudice in American society. In the eyes of Americans, China people are ignorant, insensitive and uncivilized inferior people, so in Hollywood movies, China people are described as robbers, drug dealers, murderers and arsonists, who are brutal, unreasonable and cunning. The women in China in the film are either prostitutes or slaves, and only Nuo Nuo succumbs to fate and the arrogance of men.

Huang Liushuang, as the first Chinese female star in Hollywood, if she insists on having a place in Hollywood, she can only succumb to the concept of China Baby, which is shaped according to the western concept: gorgeous exposure, weakness and humiliation.

This established role not only hindered her acting progress, but also brought her a lot of condemnation and negative comments from China society, making her a scapegoat for the US Congress 1882 passing the Chinese Exclusion Act. Together with her compatriots who are descendants of the Chinese people, they also misinterpreted her. Her films were banned in China.
