China Zhao Wei's movies are back on major video platforms, with some sources saying she'll make a comeback in June.

On the Douban movie, book, and music forum, the avatars of the films Hoan Chau Cach Cach and Tan Dong Song Ly Biet have also been replaced with photos of Trieu Vy, instead of photos with only the other main actress, as in the past three years. Fans of the actress also discovered that her information on Baidu - China's largest internet data search service - has been partially restored.

However, on other video platforms, Zhao Wei's work is still hidden. A source said that Zhao Wei will gradually return to entertainment activities. She has changed her team and is currently working with some magazines for photoshoots. The actress is expected to return at the end of June.

The last time Zhao Wei appeared in public was at a fashion event for Fendi - the brand she used to be an ambassador for - in July 2021. In August of the same year, all the films she starred in were removed from video platforms, and the actress's name was removed from film awards portals. The brands Zhao Wei represented also hid or deleted posts related to her on Weibo .

According to Baidu, "ban" is a term often used in the entertainment and sports fields, referring to a famous person being subject to punishments such as: being banned from performing in the arts, being banned from competing due to violating the law, ethics, and having personal information deleted from social networks. In recent years, a series of famous Chinese stars have been "banned", including Kris Wu, Zheng Shuang, and Zhang Zhehan.

Authorities have not yet announced the reason for punishing Zhao Wei. The beauty was once one of the "four great dan flowers" of Chinese cinema. Xinhua commented that she is one of the few female artists of Chinese origin who have achieved success in all three fields of cinema, television, and music. The actress became famous in Asia through the series Hoan Chau Cach Cach , Tan Dong Song Ly Biet, Hoa Bi, Doi Bong Shaolin, Thien Ha Vo Song .

Since 1999, she has started investing and establishing multi-industry businesses. In 2019, the assets of Trieu Vy and her husband - Huynh Huu Long - reached 4.5 billion yuan (695.2 million USD), ranking 912th richest in China, according to statistics from the economic and financial website Hurun .
