The Chinese edition of Forbes announced its annual Top 100 Forbes Chinese
Celebrities on Thursday, with basketball star Yao Ming topping the power
rankings for a third consecutive year, followed by dazzling actresses Zhou Xun
and Zhang Ziyi.
The star hurdler Liu Xiang was listed number 5 in the
rankings and "Super Girl" Li Yuchun, actress Fan Bingbing, director Chen Kaige,
singer Sun Nan and film star Li Bingbing all fought their ways into the top 10
list for their high income and media coverage last year.
Director Feng

Lau (刘嘉玲) to be listed number 12. Director Zhang Yimou was ranked number 22.
