Chinese-American actress Ming-Na Wen expressed her solidarity with Hollywood's striking writers during the unveiling of her star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, California on Thursday.
"I really, really support them without one inkling of doubt, they are the ones that start every project," she says.
"Without their stories, without their words, we have nothing to say," the actress added.
In her Instagram post, she thanked her family and long-time friends, and told the people in attendance: "I hope everyone finds their 'Joy Luck Club'."
The "Joy Luck Club" is a best-selling novel written by Amy Tan in 1989, which was adapted into a film of the same title. It was Ming-Na's first major role. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the movie.
