Is "Babylon"'s Lady Fay Zhu a Real Person?

Actor Li Jun Li captivates viewers with her stunning performance of Lady Fay Zhu, a fictionalised character inspired by Anna May Wong, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Wong is credited as the first Chinese-American actor to star in Hollywood films. Despite facing adversity and racism from executives at the time, she would live to be an icon and advocate for Asian Americans to receive better treatment and representation on screen. Some of her notable works include "Shanghai Express," "The Toll of the Sea," and the 1950s show, "The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong."
