Coco Lee, a Chinese pop star who performed songs on the 'Mulan' and 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' soundtracks, died Wednesday.
Lee, who voiced the titular character in the Mandarin version of Disney's animated classic"Mulan," was born Ferren Lee in Hong Kong in 1975 and moved to San Francisco with her family as a child.
She went to middle school and high school in the U.S. and attended U.C. Irvine before getting her break in the Chinese music scene, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Lee became a Chinese pop star in the 1990s, releasing albums in Mandarin, Cantonese and English, and she also sang the English hits"Before I Fall in Love" from the"Runaway Bride" soundtrack and"A Love Before Time" from"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Lee wrote a poignant Instagram post last New Year’s Eve, writing in part:"LOVE & FAITH ~my 2 favorite words that I carry strongly in my heart which I desperately needed to get thru this incredibly difficult year. Life seemed unbearable at times but I adapted the attitude of a ‘female warrior’ to face them head on fearlessly but always had the biggest smile and big fat laughters! Strength, courage, n bravery is within all of us so use them.
