The Street Fighter III: New Generation Secret File appears to make a nod to this fact, showing a picture of Tong Pooh in a TV while wondering if it'd be the 'next Chun-Li'.Ĭhun-Li's name is Mandarin for 'spring beauty' (春 chūn, 'spring' 麗 lì, 'beautiful').
Reportedly, Tong Pooh, an antagonist from Capcom's Strider franchise, served as the inspiration for Chun-Li's design.
