Biography[]
Ling appears at the beginning of the film, in bed with James Bond, under the sheets, somewhere in Hong Kong. The two argue about the taste of the Chinese being different than all other women. At one point, she leaves Bond in bed and gets up, pressing a button on the wall, which makes the bed immediately close into the wall in an upright position, taking 007 with it. This is the signal for the two armed men enter the room and shoot the bed through the wall, apparently killing 007. It was revealed later by Miss Moneypenny that MI6 arranged for Ling to help fake Bond's death.
Behind the Scenes[]
- Tsai Chin, who played Ling, later appeared as Madam Wu in the 2006 version of Casino Royale.
