The actress was dressed in a long black gown and 15-centimetre-high heels, and she lost her balance and stumbled while coming down from the stage. According to Sina, fellow celebrities Jackie Chan and Wang Yibo who were in front of her then rushed back to assist her up.

Spotted at high-speed train station

A few days after the awards show, a netizen posted the video online, saying that he ran into Zhang Ziyi at the high-speed railway station. In addition, the netizen said that the actress was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed by staff. The netizen said it seems that the actress fell hard. In the footage, Zhang wears loose black attire, a face mask, and sunglasses. According to The Epoch Times, even though you could tell Zhang was pretty worn out, she seems calm and doesn't show any signs of being upset or in pain. She is keeping it together, all things considered.

Nothing serious

Back in 2023, Zhang got divorced from singer Wang Feng. They had two kids together, and it seems like the children are currently living with Zhang. Zhang Ziyi (or 章子怡 in Chinese), a really famous and well-respected actress and model from China, was born in Beijing on February 9, 1979. She gained international recognition for her versatility and beauty, becoming one of the "Four Dan Actresses" of China. Her very first acting gig was in a TV movie called Touching Starlight back in 1996. But her big break on the movie scene came a few years later, in 1999, with the film The Road Home, directed by Zhang Yimou. In 2000, Zhang excelled in the role for which she won the Best Actress Award at the Hundred Flowers Awards. She has been consistently ranked among the top celebrities in the Forbes China Celebrity 100 list and was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2005, who called her "China's gift to Hollywood."
