Biography

Wai Lin, a spy for the Chinese People's External Security Force, is a formidable opponent, a fierce warrior with incredible skill in martial arts. She first encounters Bond when she is sent to investigate media mogul Elliot Carver's plan to start a war between China and the United Kingdom, a plot he was also sent by MI-6 to foil. The two initially believe they have been ordered to kill each other, but eventually develop a wary mutual trust when they are both captured and imprisoned by Carver's secret partner, General Chang. Bond especially grows to respect her when she playfully, but firmly, rejects his attempts at seduction -- the first Bond girl to do so. Spy and Secret agent redirect here. ...

Wai Lin and Bond in the bike chase in Saigon

Carver brings them both aboard his private ship to gloat that he will control the world's media after he gets exclusive coverage rights to the impending war, which will begin when the ship launches missiles at a British craft. At the last minute, however, Wai breaks free and creates a distraction that allows Bond to disable the missiles, kill Carver, and escape with her as the ship self-destructs. She and Bond then give in to the mutual attraction they had both been fighting during the mission, and become lovers. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
