Kelly Lai Chen

 * ... that actor Kelly Lai Chen married and divorced the "female Bruce Lee"? Source: "雷震于1974年与“女版李小龙”茅瑛结婚，但婚姻仅维持六年" - "Lai Chen married Mao Ying, the "female Bruce Lee", in 1974, but the marriage only lasted 6 years"

 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in English-language source. Foreign-language hook (translated above) AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. Catchy hook! Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:56, 24 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg I have pulled this because I can't see any mention of Bruce Lee in the given source. Gatoclass (talk) 13:25, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * This seems to be the relevant quote (Bruce Lee's Chinese name in bold): "雷震于1974年与“女版李小龙”茅瑛结婚，育有一女，但婚姻仅维持六年. 他晚年独居香港，女儿时常探访，生活平静简单. 他过世的消息是由著名编剧林奕华透过面簿发布，甄珍获悉后，表示哀悼. " "Female Bruce Lee" appears to be "女版李小龙". Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:30, 4 May 2018 (UTC)


 * , that is truly bizarre. I put your string from the relevant sentence next to the one I got from the source into Google translate, and both of them translate, letter for letter so far as I can tell, as Léizhèn yú 1974 nián yǔ “nǚ bǎn lǐxiǎolóng” máo yīng jiéhūn, yù yǒuyī nǚ, dàn hūnyīn jǐn wéichí liù nián. But one of those strings translates as "Lei Zhen married Marceau in the year of 1974 and had a daughter, but her marriage lasted only six years" and the other as "Lei Zhen married Marceau, the female version of Bruce Lee in 1974, and had a daughter, but her marriage lasted only six years." Utterly bizarre! Anyhow, as google translate adds an entire new phrase from one of two translations of what appears to be the same sentence, I am going to AGF that the extra phrase is extant and restore this to the queue.

Bruce Lee's Chinese name is 李小龙 which is completely different from English. For an English source about the "female Bruce Lee" (who's now a restaurateur in NYC), see this NYT article. -Zanhe (talk) 16:45, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
