Turns out she had quite the career.

"...HU DIE (Butterfly Wu), who came to fame in Shanghai in the
Republican era (1912-1949). "Hu Die" is the stage name of Hu Ruihua
(1908-1989) who was born in Shanghai, and raised across China as the
family travelled with her father, who worked for the railroad company.

Her fame and popularity were such that she is described as one of a
handful of actresses who made a major contribution to the film
industry; and to the modernizing society that was Shanghai in the
1920s and 1930s."

"Following her marriage in November 1935, Hu Die continued to make
films through the 1960s. She settled in Canada in 1967 where she
passed the remainder of her life with her family."
