From a laundryman’s child to a lonely little actor to Hollywood’s first Chinese-American film actress. She is the famous Hollywood movie star Anna May Wong. Recently, Huang Liushuang will land on a 25-cent coin in 2022 through the “American Women Quarters Program”. Huang Liushuang is the only Chinese-American to be selected for the program, and the first Chinese woman to be engraved with an American coin.

The U.S. Mint announced the creation of the American Women Quarters Program, which will issue up to five new 25-cent coins each year between 2022 and 2025, featuring the heads of prominent American women from different fields, ethnicities, and diverse backgrounds, including the first Chinese-American Hollywood actress, Anna Wong.

Huang Liushuang occupies a place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is one of the five famous Chinese film stars besides Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Lu Xilin and Liu Yuling, and is the first Chinese actress to stay in Hollywood.
