Chinese actors, Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Wei, are the latest additions to handprints found at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Both Xiaoming and Wei were honored for their impressive work in American films. The pair sunk not only their hands but their feet as well into the cement located at the forecourt of the theater in California.

"I am very proud to be the first ever Chinese actress to leave my handprint and footprint here and I hope in the future I could come here and look at my own hand and feet prints every year," stated Wei in a report by Xinhuanet.

This is another great milestone for Wei. Aside from having her feet and hands imprinted at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the Chinese actress won the award for Best Actress at the recently held Hong Kong Film Awards.

Wei won the award thanks to her film, "Dearest." Aside from Wei, the film's director, Peter Chan, also nabbed the award for Best Director. In spite of Wei's wins in life, the Chinese actress refuses to acknowledge being a "winner in life" as called out by many of her fans on the web.

Apart from Wei, another Chinese star honored at the TCL Chinese Theater was Xiaoming. The 37-year old star is known for his role in "Emperor Wi of Han Dynasty." As for Alwyn Hight Kushner, the president of the TCL Chinese Theater, spoke of the great alliance between China and Hollywood films.

"This is a great opportunity to showcase the synergy that now exists between China and Hollywood, two important partners, both creatively and commercially, in the making and distribution of movies worldwide," stated Kushner.

Taiwanese Director Justin Lin also joined Xiaoming and Wei at TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Lin is known for directing four films in the "Fast and the Furious" film franchise. The three having been in one place at the same time is no coincidence as Li has a new film set for debut in China by June 26. The film's lead stars would be none other than Wei and Xiaoming, which is entitled "Hollywood Adventures."
