Empress Dowager Cixi played by Chingmy Yau.

Chingmy Yau plays Empress Dowager Cixi in the film The Secret Life of Cixi released on 1995.

The film tells the story of Hui Yulan (Chingmy Yau), who was born in a noble family in Yenala and was chosen as a female student by grace. The nurse asked her for a visa, but the fortune teller divined. The woman was hit and committed a crime, which will do great harm to her husband, family and country in the future. When Yulan was looking for a cat in the temple, she met the Sixth Prince (played by Tony Leung Ka Fai), and they were inseparable from each other. Later, she and her wet nurse were robbed by mountain thieves and saved by the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Prince wanted to propose marriage, only to find that Yulan was his brother's woman and had to leave with a sigh. On the day of entering the palace, accompanied by Xiaoanzi An Dehai (Chen Guobang), Yulan accidentally fell off the sedan chair and made a fool of herself. She met Emperor Xianfeng (Yu Rongguang) by chance and was fascinated by his style. Xianfeng also regarded Yulan with special respect.

It was also at this time that Yulan made an enemy, Li Guiren (Ewang) and Yun Guiren (Gwan Chin). The Queen (Zhou Jialing) is kind-hearted, but has no children, so you try your best to please, just to please, and give birth to a younger brother. However, Yulan is not smooth enough and is pushed out everywhere. ......
