Hu was born in Guangdong, China to a Chinese father and German mother. After her father"s death, she moved to Germany until high school.
Her Eurasian looks appealed to the Chinese community and she became an instant hit. She was a popular movie actress and her films were translated into Mandarin Chinese. Bruce Lee"s martial arts caused Shaw management to focus on action filled movies.
She had made her debut in the film and continued acting until her retirement at the age of 30.
Being of European descent, she was deemed "too unfit for Kung Fu movies" so she retired in the mid 1970s. She came out of retirement after a nearly three-decade hiatus to appear in, by Hong Kong filmmaker Johnnie To.
