politically charged star, was always going to be a major gamble.

One of the
highlights of Mulan
for Liu Yifei was
celebrating her
31st birthday on
the second day of

came from China,”
says Liu, who was
photographed
Feb. 8 at the
Houdini Estate in
Los Angeles. “My
mom brought the
neighbors, too. She
is so proud.”
