There are a lot of similarities between Janice Wu and her famous Chinese actresses peers like Jackie Chan and Luang Chi Muu.

As an actress, Janice Wu mainly focused on romantic comedies. Her two major roles were the romantic lead role in Forever Young (literal translation: Forever Young) and the evil role of Jiao Guo in Big Mind (literal translation: Crazy House). In Forever Young, she plays Lin Feng, a beautiful young girl from modern China who falls in love with a boy from the countryside.

When Lin Feng is injured in battle, he vows never to fight again and abides by this vow. However, when he gets arrested for assault and becomes a prisoner in his own house, his master informs him that he can only learn martial arts if he marries someone from the same region as him – and that is why he decides to leave his beloved Jiao Guo, who happens to be his friend.

For the next two years, they manage to elope and finally reunite. During their courtship, Lin Feng develops a crush on the woman he has just met, Jiao Guo. The two eventually fall in love, despite the objections of their respective families. Following the collapse of the Beijing Olympics, which happened just before their marriage, the pair runs into problems due to the fact that their contract is about to expire – which makes them forced to marry each other.
