JuJu Chan Szeto[1] (Template:Zh) also known as JuJu Chan (Template:Zh), is an American actress, martial artist, singer, and writer.

Chan pursued martial arts at a young age, an interest she kept up with into adulthood. She started modeling when she was a teenager, and entered the film industry after receiving her master's degree from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Chan received wider recognition as Silver Dart Shi in Netflix's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016). She later returned to Netflix as Zan in Wu Assassins (2019). Her fans sometime refer to her as the "female Bruce Lee".[2][3]

Early life and education

Chan was born in Hong Kong. At the age of three, she moved to the United States and settled in San Francisco.[2]

She began to learn martial arts at the age of 10.[4] She first started in judo, as that was the closest school at the time, and went on to learn Shotokan karate, wushu, Hung Ga, Wing Chun, ITF Taekwondo, nunchaku, and muay Thai.[5][2]

Chan graduated from the University of San Francisco with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and mathematics, with honors.[6] She gained a master's degree from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.[7]

In August 2009, Chan participated in the RTHK reality series Rich Mate Poor Mate (Template:Zh), where four participants from wealthy backgrounds experience the lives of the not so fortunate. During the 120-hour experience, Chan (nicknamed "The Beauty Queen") has to live the life of a single immigrant mother in Hong Kong while taking care of her eight-year-old boy.[8]

Chan starred as the title character in the 2009 web series Lumina, written and directed by Jennifer Thym.[9][10] She has one of the lead roles, Ping Wei, the head concubine, in the thriller Palace of the Damned (previously named The Living Dead) in 2012. Chan also played the lead actress, Pixie Ho, in an Australian-Chinese Production, Hit Girls, an action comedy short film.[11]

Chan starred as Silver Dart Shi in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny directed by Yuen Woo Ping.[12][13] Chan was the lead actress in Savage Dog[14] released in July 2017.

In June 2019, Chan joined Dimitri Logothetis's martial arts thriller Jiu Jitsu (2020).[18]
