She successfully portrayed Jinhua (Golden Flower), a Bai lady and the leading role in Five Golden Flowers and Ah Shi Ma, a Yi lady and the leading role in Ah Shi Ma, both of whom have contributed much to the fames of the two films as masterpieces in China’s film industry. Yang hence has become the screen idol of generations for over half century, and is the Goddess of Beauty in the minds of audience.
