After long deliberation, the interview took place in the wee hours of last Friday, in a small city in Liaoning province, not far from the location where she is shooting her current film.

Zhang appeared gaunt and exhausted. She had been working several long nights in a row, doing action scenes. She was solemn most of the time, quite unlike the jovial persona she projects for her public appearances.

She frequently consulted a legal document prepared by a Los Angeles law office, Glaser, Weil, Fink, Jacobs, Howard & Shapiro, llp, that contains details of her donations.

The document was released at the same time as the interview, available in both English and Chinese, as well as the entire interview, in both video and transcript form in Chinese, on China Daily's Chinese website.

It was predetermined the interview would focus on the donation controversy. She gingerly stepped around questions about her fallout with Zhao.
