6	Trained in martial arts and Chinese opera ever since age 4, Sharon is skilled in jeet kun do, western boxing, karate, and was even called the "Lady Creator/JackieChan" in the 1980s. Her career mostly started out in TV series or period dramas from Goldig Films and Shaw Brothers, but as the decade moved into the 90s, and GirlsWithGuns action films started gaining traction for action film junkies, Sharon would star in her first movie of this genre, ''Film/AngelEnforcers'', in 1989 before showing up in similarly-themed movies alongside Creator/MoonLee (''Film/PrincessMadam''), Creator/CynthiaKhan (''Film/AngelOnFire''), Creator/YukariOshima (''Film/DeadlyTarget''), Creator/SibelleHu (''Film/TheWayOfTheLadyBoxers'') and the like.

15	!!Tropes related to this performer
16
17	* ActionGirl
18	* BoyishShortHair: In her movies made after 1989. It's almost impossible to find a film featuring Sharon with hair past her shoulders by that point.
19	* {{Contortionist}}: And how! Check her out in [[https://twitter.com/Stargazer_KEA/status/959109859433242624 this screenshot]] from ''Story of the Drunken Master''. She did similar stunts in ''Deadly Target''.
20	* GirlsWithGuns: Most of her 90s' movies.
21	* TheLancer: See the list of GirlsWithGuns movies in her bio above, where she stars alongside players like Moon or Oshima? She usually plays second fiddle to the protagonist, although she's also a HyperCompetentSidekick who is almost as good (if not better) in kicking ass and taking names.
22	* LightningBruiser: She's noticeably bigger in size than Moon or Oshima, and yet she can move and fight as swiftly as either of the two.
23	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's usually the Tomboy.
