>> HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hot
>>young Chinese actress Vicki Zhao Wei, whose soaring
>>career was threatened after she appeared in a
>>mini-skirt decorated with Japan's war-time flag, says
>>she has no regrets and is hopeful the controversy will
>>blow over.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "It's useless crying over
>>spilt milk. I meant no harm. I try not to let it get
>>me down," Zhao, 25, told Reuters in an interview on
>>Thursday.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Chinese media launched a
>>blistering attack on Zhao, casting a shadow over her
>>career, after a fashion magazine published pictures of
>>her wearing the mini-skirt styled with Japan's World
>>War Two flag.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The attack was fuelled by
>>bitterness in China toward Japan's past aggression and
>>occupation of the country.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Zhao published a letter of
>>apology in China's state media after a tabloid based
>>in Nanjing, where Japanese troops killed hundreds of
>>thousands of people in 1937, demanded a boycott of her
>>and advertisements in which she appeared.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The apology failed to
>>placate critics and she was attacked during a singing
>>performance in the southern Chinese province of Hunan
>>in December. Her name was also pulled from a New
>>Year's programme by state television.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Asked if she thought the
>>publicity had damaged her career, she said: "Until
>>now, I see no negative impact. Many things that may
>>seem earth-shattering right now will feel
>>insignificant when you look back on it."
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> The actress shot to fame a
>>few years ago after playing a cheeky princess in a
>>Taiwanese television series "The Pearl
>>Princess".
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> She said the flag incident
>>had affected her mood but she was able to put the past
>>behind her thanks to the support of friends.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "Even friends who don't
>>normally show up in my life started calling me to ask
>>me how I was. I was very touched," Zhao said.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> "I acted in a comedy at a
>>time when everyone expected me to be in my worst
>>state," she added, referring to "Double Odyssey 2002"
>>to be released in Hong Kong on February 8.
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>
>>
>> Zhao worked almost solidly
>>last year and made three films. She will head home to
>>Beijing for Chinese New Year and spend the next few
>>months taking a well-earned break.
