Singer-turned-actress Li Yuchun (Chris Li) believes her role in the upcoming historical film "Bodyguards and Assassins" corresponds to Po, the protagonist of the popular animated movie "Kung Fu Panda."

"There are six guys protecting Sun Yat-sen in the movie--Donnie Yen, Nicolas Tse, Mengke Bateer, Bo-Chieh Wang, Leon Lai and me," the Information Times newspaper quoted Li as saying. "We have different kung fu styles, just like the Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane together with Po in 'Kung Fu Panda.'"

The first time actress had to receive training for her three fight scenes.

"The workers showed me the training video," Li said. "I found myself looking totally like a clumsy bear. I used a nine-section whip, and it kept lashing my own face or getting tangled up around my hand. But after I finished shooting, I began to feel like a kung fu panda."

"Bodyguards and Assassins" is scheduled for release in China on December 18.
