As reported by Sina Entertainment, Fan Bingbing was seen at the Beijing Capital International Airport on October 15th. She was seen coming out of a building with her head down, dressed in black from head to toe, wearing a cap and sunglasses. She also had bodyguards surrounding her with one using an umbrella to block her focus from paparazzi, which was an epic fail because they still got a good shot of her. There was no expression on her face as she quickly walked out of a building.

Good to see she is safe. I wonder if the govt will allow her dramas and movies to air?!
I don’t think so. She was already removed from the movie with Bruce Willis. It’s unlikely we will see her in the near future.
