Yu Chuan ?? in Friends and Brothers (1984)?

Any chance someone can confirm that this is Yu Chuan? Her bio says she pretty much quit the industry by the mid-70's save for an occasional cameo.

I added this portrait from "Friends & brothers", but I don't know who Yu Chuan is, and there are not much photos of hers to identify her. If you provide more normal images of Yu Chuan, I'll check if the actress from "Friends & brothers" is the same person.

Yeah, I've had difficulty finding images of Yu Chuan. I raise the question only because of the bio and when I mentally age progress from existing photos I don't see her. Will continue to search.
Maybe if you can determine whether the role in Friends and Brothers is major, minor or cameo?

Yu Chuan's name is credited 10th in the movie.

The role of that actress is not very big, but she plays mother of the leading character, so she appears here and there.

Good images.
I can't find much more on Yu Chuan. Will have to be an continuing exercise until something more turns up. Thanks.
