Guo Ziyi was born to a family of a middle class civil servant in Hua Prefecture (華州, today Hua, Shaanxi).
Guo Ziyi had an equivalent number of troops and types of equipment; the only difference was that his force consisting of Chinese diehards were willing to do whatever they could to defend their country, while the rebels consisted of soldiers of Mongolian descent that wanted to loot the riches of Tang.
Guo Ziyi immediately attacked Chang'an with 15 thousand men, the rebels only have 10 thousand men, and it was result with great victory for the government with the battlefield covered with rebels corpses, as recorded by historians.

Guo Shu, representative of the movie's investor, said the film would focus on the legendary Chinese maiden Mulan's 12-year experience disguised as a male soldier.
The folktale about a young girl who disguises herself as a man and charges into war to replace her aged father was animated by Disney in 1998 and won an Oscar for best music in 1999.

As well as being a very beautiful young woman, Zhang Ziyi, who studied dance, works very hard in preparting for her roles whether in "House of the Flying Daggers" or "Memoirs of a Geisha." I was epecially very impressed by Mei's fascinating and brilliantly filmed dance performance near the beginning of the movie.
Ziyi Zhang's performance as the strong-willed, kick-ass heroine Mei in House of Flying Daggers deserves a second look, now that the DVD release of Memoirs of a Geisha continues to catapult the Chinese actress into American movie fame.
Ziyi (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) plays Mei, a beautiful, blind dancer who may be the daughter of the murdered leader of the House of Flying Daggers, a rogue gang of Robin Hood-esque fighters in the middle of a war with China's corrupt Tang dynasty.

Their first break is to arrest Mei (Ziyi Zhang), a blind dancer who has all sorts of tricks up her sleeves, most of them liable to cut your throat.
Jin goes to meet a blind courtesan Mei (Zhang Ziyi), who is suspected to be connected with the secret clan, and he gains the confidence of this beautiful dancer by some tricks -- tricks meaning 'love.' Make her love you, and you get her secret.
And if you're a fan of Zhang Ziyi, this one is not to be missed for it's not too much to say that it belongs to her.

The divide is so massive that it is hard to find a standpoint from which to survey it comprehensively.
Rush Hour 2 launched Zhang Ziyi’s Hollywood career, and marked her first appearance in an English-language movie (though in the film itself she actually spoke Mandarin, not English).
In the same way, the ‘Oriental Princesses’ played by the likes of Zhang Ziyi and Lucy Liu tend to confirm Western stereotypes of the merciless, inscrutable, unassailable, all-kicking, all-punching, cold-hearted Eastern beauty.
