Several readers, after recovering from that Zhang Ziyi website would like to know how to pronounce the lady’s
first name (which of course, since she is Chinese, is frequently written
last). Well, just in case you run into her at the tire warehouse:
It’s basically unpronouncable for an English-trained tongue. The “Zi” is
something like “tszzz,” in a low pitch, rising slightly at the end; the “yi”
is “yee,” in a higher pitch, rising steadily from beginning to end. The
meaning is “child of contentment.”
