 Zhao Wei s first series after a four year break from television, Moment in Peking is a drama based on a book of the same title written bu Lin Yu Tang. Based on the dramas of a family in the changing times of the early 1900s in China, Zhao plays the role of a refined, yet curious and adventurous girl, Mu Lan, who travels through life in a loving idealistic manner that often finds herself being the receiver of hatred and tragedy despite her absolute belief of the good in others. This was ceratinly a break-through for Zhao Wei in terms of television characters, as perviously, her characters were always dramatic and feisty, and Mu Lan is almost an opposite, passive, and doing her best to maintain the peace no matter how difficult this becomes for her.
