Recently, a picture of Zhao Wei on an exposing body has been posted on a Chinese online newspaper, making this popular actress lose her cheerful spirit. Many spectators say that this is a dirty action, the person may be searched for and be held for criminal liability. Presently, where ever Vicki goes, there are always bodyguards surrounding her. When asked about the internet picture, while crying she says: "I know I have done wrong by wearing the Japanese flag and hope that I will be forgiven, but why did people have to do this to ruin my reputation with that picture?"

Vicki Scared In Seeing Strangers Ever since the unfortunate event that has happened to her, she resumes her daily life, with the filming of 'Tian Xia Wu Shang' in Shanghai, even though it is still clearly seen that the fearful memory has not yet left her. As a result of this, whenever she sees strangers, she will feel a slight discomfort, most people noticed that she isn't the cheery self she used to be. Yesterday, she took a two-day break from her filming, and headed back to Beijing. Vicki had her hat lowered so much, hoping that no one would know it was her. When a man wanted to approach Vicki in Shanghai airport, a man (supposedly her bodyguard), stepped forward, to stop him from approaching further. It was later clarified that the man was just a Hong Kong reporter. It was only after the clarification, did Vicki seemed to have calmed down a little. She had even stopped for a brief moment to talk to reporter about her filming process. JANUARY 3, 2002 During the press conference for "Tian Xia Wu Shang", all the attention was focused on Zhao Wei, who has declared that no harm was done to her on that day, and that she is physically and emotionally well. JANUARY 2, 2002 Vicki has returned to the production group of "Tian Xia Wu Shang" to resume filming this New Year movie. When asked about the incident, Vicki quoted: "This incident is already the past, so lets just stop talking about it". DECEMBER 28, 2001 During Vicki's QSSYMM performance in Hunan on December 28th, a man in his mid-twenties charged on stage and tried to attack Vicki. Fortunately no harm was done to Vicki. Many versions of this attack had been out. One had said that the man charged on stage, grabbed her neck, punched her in the face two times and poured excrete on her. But according to Chen Rong (Vicki's manager cum sister-in-law) said that the guy was merely an over-excited fan, that wanted to hug Vicki, the shock caused Vicki to lose balance and fall on the ground. Versions were also saying that some of the audience cheered for the attacker, but that was proved to be false according to witnesses that were at the performance. Rumour has it that after the "accident" happened, Vicki was escorted to backstage, where people say that she spent a few moments in the bathroom sobbing. DECEMBER 12, 2001 Zhao Wei makes a live apology on television, on "Entertainment Scene". DECEMBER 10, 2001 For a English translation of Vicki's apology letter, please click here. DECEMBER 9, 2001 Zhou Xue from "WFashion" (person that was in-charge of Vicki's add) writes an apology letter, and decides to resign. DECEMBER 7, 2001 The media requests a public apology from Vicki or else they would take action to ban all her entertainment related activities, which will include the publication of her work. DECEMBER 3, 2001 A picture of Vicki dressed in a Japanese wartime flage was discovered in "WFashion" magazine in issue 9 of 2001. This piece of fact causes an outrage in some Chinese citizens, because of their hurtful memories of their war with Japan (WWII), where many chinese had sacrificed their lives for their country. |
