Ming-Na Wen is a Macau-American actress. She has voiced Mulan in many projects, including the 1998 animated film. She has also been credited as Ming-Na, Ming Na, Ming Na Wen, and Ming Wen.
She was born on Coloane, one of the two main islands of Portuguese Macau (now Macau). Her mother’s name is Lin Chan Wen, and she has roots in Suzhou, China. She has stated that her biological father is Malaysian; he may also have Chinese ancestry. As a child, she moved to Hong Kong, then New York, and then Pittsburgh and its suburb Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, U.S.
Ming-Na is married to Eric Michael Zee, with whom she has two children.
Her dad is of Malaysian descent according to her https://twitter.com/MingNa/status/1367937327503351810
Malaysian could mean anything, quite frankly, as a multi-ethnic country. A full quarter of the population is Chinese Malaysian, for instance.
She sorta looks a bit Eurasian. Either she has European ancestry (perhaps English) or that she’s from Western China, where most people have a Eurasian look (search for the Uyghurs).
english? it says her parents are from suzhou. not much of an english presence there
???
I suspect some European colonial heritage in this broad.
Suzhou was never colonised.
