oh my god, it turns out female celebrities can be like this!

being mocked for pretending to be young, she sighed: "chinese women give up on themselves too early~"


being criticized for being disrespectful to her elders, she boasted: "a role model for women~"

she is extremely confident, cool and beautiful. any episode from grandma xiaoqing's experience is enough to kill half of the leading ladies in the domestic entertainment industry.

the clear-headed characters and independent quotes in domestic dramas are not even close to what you can expect from liu xiaoqing.

compared to her, i, a post-00s generation, seem feudal...
since her debut, liu xiaoqing's acting career can be described as "spectacular".

what matters most in today’s fan circles is the actual performance of the original poster.

if grandma xiaoqing is a new generation actress, her achievements can beat all the other stars three times over.

in 1979, liu xiaoqing starred in "look at this family", becoming the first actress to shoot a comedy after the reform and opening up.


at the end of 1980, liu xiaoqing starred in "the mysterious big buddha" and became the first actress to shoot a martial arts scene.


in 1986, the movie "furong town" starring liu xiaoqing cost 20 cents per ticket and grossed 120 million yuan.


she participated in the cctv spring festival gala and became the first female host of the first cctv spring festival gala.


she published her autobiography, setting a precedent for celebrities to publish books and becoming the first celebrity female writer.


she produced the movie "ruthless lover" and became the first independent producer in the mainland who was a female star...

with so many firsts, the 1980s was once called the "liu xiaoqing era".

however, among the new generation of netizens, liu xiaoqing is perhaps best known for her nickname "the girl cult leader."


when she was in her sixties, she played a schoolgirl, and filmed a scene of a pregnant woman riding a bicycle in the rain with great spirit.


the night school teacher was not teaching, so the whole class stood up and waited for her to come:


she also had a scene with a male actor in his twenties, leaning on each other's arms and acting out early love:


when she was in her seventies, she played a fierce and heroic female bandit leader with two guns.

the actor who played her husband was only in his fifties, and even the actor who played her biological father was a dozen years younger than liu xiaoqing.


after so many years, when people of the same age started to play the protagonist's mother or even the protagonist's grandmother, xiaoqing was still playing the young protagonist.

there have been constant complaints from the outside world, but liu xiaoqing doesn't care. when netizens give her bad reviews, she responds with "so what?"

she has her own complete theoretical system on this.

the first is "don't forget that we also have the responsibility to show the beauty of life, which is the dignity of life that women deserve."


the second is "actually, for an actor, there is no such thing as pretending to be young or old."

"i played the old empress dowager cixi when i was very young, and no one ever said to me, 'you are so young, but you are acting old.' however, when i play a slightly younger role, people say i am pretending to be young."


"mei lanfang dressed as a woman and played only beautiful girls throughout his life until his death. but he still became a master, didn't he?"


to be honest, such self-consistent logic and confident values ​​make me, who is prone to internal conflicts, quite envious.

just as netizens said, with such a good mentality and such strong psychological endurance, such a person would be successful even if he swept the streets!

liu xiaoqing has a widely circulated saying, but not everyone knows that she said it:

"it's hard to be a human being, it's harder to be a woman, and it's even harder to be a famous woman. it's extremely difficult to be a single famous woman."

she is right. for liu xiaoqing, who has been a "famous woman" for most of her life, life is sometimes not that simple.

when her acting career was booming, liu xiaoqing moved ambitiously into the commercial field.

in the vast chinese market at that time, she showed her skills in a big way, and every minute was "either used to earn fame or to earn profits."

in 1999, liu xiaoqing ranked 45th on the forbes mainland rich list.

but three years later, she was sentenced to prison for tax evasion and paid the price for her choice.

a few days ago, a clip of an early interview with liu xiaoqing went viral on the internet, with a single video on douyin receiving more than 200,000 likes.

in this interview, liu xiaoqing talked about her experience in prison:


"i know i won't be shot. as long as i'm not dead, everything else is trivial."

she said this with a nonchalant expression, but none of the netizens could be indifferent - this sister is too stable at heart.


after being released from prison, liu xiaoqing faced a huge debt. in order to make a living, she acted in hengdian "as long as she was paid, and she was not picky about the role."


but even after experiencing the ups and downs in life, she still felt "very happy" when she was playing a minor role, because i was back on the screen. i thought i could never act again.


of course, in addition to her advanced attitude towards life, liu xiaoqing's concept of love is also quite advanced.

she also realized the advancement of her own thinking early on, and claimed that her early self was "a person with today's ideas, but in the wrong era."


when filming "furong town", she and the male lead jiang wen fell in love with each other, which caused a lot of public opinion.

but when my grandmother recalled this experience, her attitude was like: i just made a mistake that all women in the world would make~


she said, "(the crew and director believed) if the two of them were truly in love, it would be of fundamental benefit to the film."

but "it just caused trouble for my husband."


not only that, as the first female star to publicly announce her divorce and having been married four times, she also said: "why do we need marriage? isn't it good to be alone? you can still have all the elements of marriage."


"every time i get married, i'm chased and forced to get married. i feel like i've been running away from marriage my whole life."


although these words were just liu xiaoqing's casual response, if they were put forward today, they might still be forwarded by contemporary netizens as classic quotes about fear of marriage.

it can be said that our grandma xiaoqing lived a life that was too advanced and comprehensive.

in this era when idol dramas have heroines in every role, there are many "independent female" characters created by shouting slogans and selling personalities.

the heroines on the screen are wise, sober and decisive, but once the setting is moved into the complex reality, their famous quotes and personalities seem as thin as paper.

however, liu xiaoqing's acting career and personal life, to some extent, truly coincide with the concept of "the heroine".

she has played the role of wu zetian many times, portraying the extraordinary ambition and aspirations of this unprecedented and unparalleled empress.

in the classic 1995 version of "empress wu zetian", liu xiaoqing had a scene where she asked a question in a harsh voice:


"men are the sky, women are the earth, and the union of heaven and earth is called qiankun."

"how could god create women if he couldn't tolerate them?"

this line is countless times more powerful than some of the current scripts for heroines that make up golden lines.

in real life, which is much more complicated than in movies and tv dramas, liu xiaoqing indeed lives a colorful life.

when describing liu xiaoqing, yi shu wrote that she "wore bright red rouge, a flowery dress, a diamond bracelet and watch, and a thick gold chain around her neck with english words spelled out with diamonds. the audience was curious and wondered what the word was. after studying it for a while, they realized it was the pinyin for "qing": qing."


in an interview with yang lan, liu xiaoqing said, "if i want to do something, i have to live up to my name."


a generation of movie star and well-known wealthy businessman was sent to prison and returned to his original state. after his comeback, he was able to start from small roles and achieve new achievements.

this "famous woman" is neither gentle and docile enough, nor humble and prudent enough. she is competitive, confident and frivolous, and never willing to stop when she is ahead.


this is really incredible for today's young people who have low energy and high energy consumption.

nowadays, our biggest dream as we are forced to survive in the torrent of life is to lie down and rest, or save enough money to retire early.

but grandma xiaoqing is different. she is lucky to have the talent to get things done, and she also has the magical spirit to keep doing things.

amid the ups and downs of life, she is one of the few people willing to keep moving forward.
