She once tried to return to Shanghai for her career, and released a single there.

The truth is this, what the mainstream audience likes will decide what is being showed on TV.

It is for this reason that Wang made an important decision with her father in 2013— to change her surname.

After that, she used her father’s first name as her surname and called herself Chloe Bennett.

But if she didn’t do it, she certainly couldn’t have gone this far.
但如果她不这么做，那她肯定走不到现在这一步。
Although she is still using the surname of Bennett after becoming famous, she has been working against Hollywood’s racism and has repeatedly confronted people on Instagram and Twitter.
成名之后的她虽然还在使用班尼特这个姓氏，但她一直在致力于反抗好莱坞的种族歧视，多次公开在 Instagram 和推特上与人对峙。
Admittedly, she has made a big compromise in this fight.
诚然，她在这场斗争中做出了很大的妥协。
But I have to say that her success is a great improvement for Chinese Americans.
但不得不说，她的成功对华裔美国人来说是一次不小的进步。
