KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — After losing contact for more than a month, Chinese veteran actress Zhen Zhen and her son have been found safe in Europe.

A close friend of Zhen said she decided to lie low as there were too many people coming to her to borrow money, ET Today reported.

According to the portal, the 74-year-old is known to be a kind hearted person and would extend assistance whenever possible. A recipient of the Golden Horse Lifetime Achievement Award, Zhen was previously married to Hong Kong actor Patrick Tse between 1974 and 1976.
