Lee’s song “A Love Before Time,” from the film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” was nominated for an Academy Award and made her a household name throughout the world. As a judge, she often made appearances on popular mainland Chinese singing competitions, including “Come Sing With Me” and “Chinese Idol.” When Disney’s “Mulan” was shown in China, she provided the voice for the main character.
