Personal Background
At age 14, Peng Dan studied in New York at the Juilliard School. After winning three pageant titles—Miss Chinese USA, Miss China USA, and Miss Asia—she began her career in Hong Kong.
She entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry after competing in the Miss Asia Pageant and starred in several Category III erotic films such as *Evil Instinct*, *Erotic Ghost Story – Ecstasy*, and *The Six Devil Women*. Known for her voluptuous figure (36F bust), she earned the nickname "Bo Goddess." Skilled in splits and ballet, her famous split scene in Wong Jing’s *Red Light District* was widely recognized as her signature. She frequently appeared on the *Super Trio Series*, performing tricks like backbends and signature stunts.
In recent years, she has focused on acting in Chinese patriotic (main melody) films.
In 2013, Peng Dan became a member of the 11th Gansu CPPCC until 2017.[2] She was once elected as a standing member of the All-China Youth Federation, recommended by a central government body, and committed herself to producing patriotic films. She once said, “The state cultivated me and gave me the opportunity to study abroad, so I love the Party and the country deeply.”
Since 2022, she has served as Dean of the International Strategy Research Institute under health product company Tiens Group.[3][4]
CPPCC Proposals
- In 2015, at the Gansu Two Sessions, she proposed anti-corruption efforts in the cultural industry, which was supported by a CCP Central Commission for Discipline Inspection article and media and netizens. However, she also received threatening letters.
- In 2016, she conducted field research in impoverished rural areas, proposing a "solar power farming" project where farmland would be equipped with solar panels maintained by farmers, earning about RMB 40,000 annually, with net income of RMB 30,000 after rent.
