00:00 A mural of famous Chinese actress Fan Bingbing painted in Jonka Walk has undergone significant
00:08 changes overnight.
00:10 Chinese artist Ren Dacheng did the wonders with his final touches to make it resemble
00:15 to the 43-year-old actress.
00:18 The mural is one of the latest attractions in Malacca to promote the Visit Malacca Year
00:23 2024.
00:24 The 30-year-old Ren, from Tianjin, has been invited by the Malacca government to modify
00:30 the mural.
00:31 "I wanted to have a conversation with the Malacca government to see if the mural can
00:35 be a combination of local paintings and Chinese paintings.
00:38 It will promote the friendship between the two sides.
00:41 I usually paint with Fan Bingbing.
00:43 I have been painting with her.
00:45 There is a place called Li Gong Lou in Tianjin.
00:48 I have painted many portraits.
00:50 She saw the painting and wanted me to come here to paint it to have a conversation with
00:57 the Malacca government and China."
00:59 Ren began to modify the mural on Saturday and spent about a day to complete the job.
01:04 Many visitors praised the artist on the mural that brought the character portrayed by Fan
01:09 in the Chinese TV drama "The Empress of China" alive.
01:14 Fan starred in the drama in 2014, portraying Wu Jetian, the only female empress in Chinese
01:20 history.
01:21 Fan is expected to receive her official appointment as the tourism ambassador to Malacca during
01:27 her visit to the state next Friday.
01:30 She will also launch the mural at Junker Walk.
