The photobook contains many well known Chinese stars.
Some of the photos by Leslie Kee are very risqué, of the
adult nature that shows a lot of skin. Going as far down
as to the men's pubic region. So be warned.
Chinese stars include: Aaron Kwok, Alex Fong, Andy Hui,
Cecilia Cheung, Daniel Wu, Edison Chen, Faye Wong, Gong
Li, Joey Yung, Jolin Tsai, Maggie Cheung, Miriam Yeung,
Nicholas Tse, Sammi Cheng, Tony Leung, Twins, Vivian
Hsu, Yumiko Cheung, and Ziyi Zhang.
