GONG LI strikes me as having the most similar looks to most of the students that I met upon SJTU campus - and they came from all over China. Those from Southern China tended to have a more 'petite' look - in relation to smaller noses etc...but there was a generic 'look' that centred around the eyes and the mouth, as I can now see...

GONG LI was known as a 'dragon lady' according to NIR - apparently of a 'high class' family background. I cannot remember now - but I think that she was seen as 'aristocracy' in a way.

HOLLYWOOD picked up on GONG LI...and I suppose that HOLLYWOOD then made her a 'stereotype' of 'Chinese beauty' around the world.
