She acted in many movies in the 1980s and 1990s and retired in the late 1990s.
==Life== Hu graduated from Faculty of History of the [[National Taiwan University]] in 1981. In the beginning of her career, Hu mainly acted in romantic movies. She was thought to be the successor of [[Brigitte Lin]]. Her debut film, ''Your Smiling Face'' (歡顏) was the biggest-grossing Taiwanese film in Hong Kong. Hu's career focused on melodramatic romantic films including ''I sing I cry'' (我歌我泣), ''The Coldest Winter in Peking'' (皇天后土) (for which she was nominated for the [[Golden Horse]] as Best Actress in 1981). In 1985 she co-starred with [[Jackie Chan]], [[Yuen Biao]] and [[Sammo Hung]] in ''[[My Lucky Stars]]'' (福星高照) and continued throughout most of the [[Lucky Stars]] series. Beginning in 1986, Hu often starred in action movies playing a police officer. Starting in 1988 she started acting in the movie series ''[[The Inspector Wears Skirts]]'' (霸王花). Hu was seriously burned in an explosion stunt during the filming of ''Devil Hunters'', but eventually recovered.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}
Hu's career faded in the late 1990s, when she retired and married [[Patrick Ho]], a businessman from Hong Kong. She has since been seen with her husband at various social functions, and in 2000 gave birth to her first child, Audrey Ho Ka Chun.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.nownews.com/2009/03/27/340-2428622.htm |title=胡慧中身材走樣 粗框眼鏡拄柺杖 當媽不在乎外表 |publisher=[[今日新聞網]] |author=影劇中心 |date=2009-03-27 |access-date=2009-03-27 |archive-date=2013-05-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130527185508/http://www.nownews.com/2009/03/27/340-2428622.htm }}</ref>
