Zhang then married Qiao Guanhua(乔冠华).[6] Qiao, Hung's stepfather, was the Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China in the 1970s.[5] Hung's mother was later accused of collaborating with the "Gang of Four" and was placed under house arrest for two years.[3] Hung attended Vassar College.[5] Hung married three times, all of them ended in divorce. Her first ex-husband is film director Chen Kaige. In 2006, Hung adopted one daughter from Sichuan.[7][8] Hung worked in factories until 1998, when she agreed to take over the publication of Look, a magazine that is now known as I-Look.[9]
