Yeoh's first Mandarin film?


Why is it that people claim that CTHD was Yeoh's first film in Mandarin when clearly it was the Soong sisters? Even though it was dubbed.

Because it was not dubbed by her but by a voice actress. In Crouching Tiger, she spoke Mandarin and thus was not dubbed.

Yep. She spoke it phonetically (as did Chow Yun-Fat), but she spoke it. Her first language is actually English.
