Her major break came in 2001 when she was cast as the lead actress in Colourful Life alongside Frankie Lam. Annie's character in the series, the lovable princess with a heart of gold called Dun Zhu, had such a lasting memory on the audience that she became instantly recognised by the name of her character.
