In a chance encounter between the famous Hong Kong director Li Lizhi and the veteran actress Liu Xiaoqing, the myth about the "goddess of immortality" Liu Xiaoqing on the Internet seems to have been broken. On December 1, two heavyweights in the entertainment industry met at the welcome dinner of the 60th Asia-Pacific Film Festival held at the Galaxy Convention Center in Macau. This group of ** revealed Liu Xiaoqing's true face state, which aroused widespread attention and heated discussions among netizens.
In this chance encounter, two veteran figures in the entertainment industry, Li Lizhi and Liu Xiaoqing, had a pleasant exchange. Li Lizhi, a well-known 62-year-old director, and 71-year-old Liu Xiaoqing look more like their peers in group photos, and sometimes Liu Xiaoqing even looks younger than Li Lizhi. However, a closer look** reveals details of the complete inconsistency of the skin tones of the two men.
Li Lizhi's face is clean and refreshing, obviously in a state of no makeup, while Liu Xiaoqing has heavy makeup and heavy foundation. Further zooming in** can be seen that Li Lizhi used the original mobile phone lens to shoot, without any beautification and dermabrasion treatment. This kind of shooting method completely exposed the true appearance of Liu Xiaoqing, who has always been known as the "goddess of immortality". Her forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, nasolabial folds on her cheeks, and wrinkles at the corners of her mouth are all clearly visible, truly reflecting her age of 71.
Liu Xiaoqing's acting career began in the 70s of the last century and has been 50 years since then. When she debuted, she was known for her slightly baby fat face and tender **, and was regarded as an all-round beauty without dead ends. Her acting career has lasted for decades, during which she has continued to release classics, and has maintained a high volume and quality of production. In 1995, 43-year-old Liu Xiaoqing perfectly interpreted the girl's coquettishness and innocence in "Wu Zetian", making the audience mistakenly think that she was only 18 years old. Ten years later, in "The Secret History of Wu Zetian", she played the same role again, except for appearing more mature, there was almost no obvious change.
Such an image makes Liu Xiaoqing a goddess who will never grow old in the hearts of the audience. Liu Xiaoqing seems to enjoy such a title very much, and often posts beautiful photos of himself on social platforms. There are no wrinkles on her face, and her figure is still well maintained, giving people a fairy-like impression. This image made the outside world think that Liu Xiaoqing was just well-maintained.
Over time, however, inconsistencies were discovered. In some public activities, Liu Xiaoqing under the high-definition lens is very different from the image in **. For example, at the CCTV film ceremony, the wrinkles on Liu Xiaoqing's face, arms and neck captured by high-definition lenses all exposed her true state.
The outside world gradually realized that Liu Xiaoqing has been using retouching and beautification techniques to maintain her "ageless" image. Sometimes, because of excessive retouching, there are even some mistakes, such as ears and cheeks being pung together, which causes public laughter. In addition, medical aesthetics is also one of Liu Xiaoqing's means to maintain a youthful appearance. At one event, Liu Xiaoqing's face looked unusually stiff, as if he was wearing a "human skin mask".
Although Liu Xiaoqing's real age has been controversial, the discrepancy between her external image and her actual age has aroused public concern. People began to question why she was so obsessed with maintaining an ageless image, rather than generously embracing the natural aging process.
The contrast between Liu Xiaoqing, who has long been known as the "goddess of immortality", and her real state in Li Lizhi's **, has aroused widespread public discussion. This is not only a reflection on Liu Xiaoqing's personal image, but also a reflection of the attitude of the entire entertainment industry towards age, beauty and authenticity. In fact, Liu Xiaoqing's real age and appearance are in line with the natural state of ordinary people of her age. However, in the entertainment industry, the pursuit of eternal youth and beauty seems to have become an unwritten rule.
In this context, in order to maintain the image of "immortality", Liu Xiaoqing used a variety of methods, including retouching and medical beauty. While these methods can create a perfect appearance in the short term, they can't mask true age and the natural aging process in the long run. This excessive focus on physical appearance can cause additional psychological stress on the individual and can lead to an unhealthy attitude towards age and natural aging.
Liu Xiaoqing's true state in Li Lizhi's **, although it breaks her long-maintained image of the "goddess of immortality", but also reminds us of the importance of accepting natural aging. As a public figure, she has the opportunity to change the social perception of age and beauty, and set a more healthy and authentic standard of beauty for the public by accepting and embracing her true state. Such a shift will not only make her feel more comfortable and confident herself, but it will also inspire more people to accept and appreciate the beauty of natural aging.
