Recently, in an interview, Shu Qi - a beauty about to turn 50 - frankly shared her feelings about age and aging.
She said that age is just a number for her, wrinkles or gray hair do not worry Shu Qi, but the changes in her body really make her have new worries.
I'm still scared. I'm very afraid of falling, because falling will hurt your bones," Shu Qi said. She gave an example that currently when walking on high heels down the stairs, she is no longer as arbitrary as before: "I will be careful to protect myself, not wanting my body to be damaged.
The actress and director also shared that turning 50 is not a big problem for her, "but my fitness is really not as good as before anymore".
On social networks, Shu Qi still comfortably shares photos of gray hair and wrinkles in the corners of her eyes. The actress considers it a "medal of life", without having to resist.
Shu Qi's real name is Lin Li Hui, born April 16, 1976. Due to poor family circumstances, she had to drop out of high school, and once frankly said that she had an unhappy childhood, "being beaten from childhood to adulthood".
She entered the entertainment industry at the age of 17 as a model, then switched to acting, becoming a leading celebrity on Chinese screens with many outstanding works such as "The Transporter", "Gac Kiem", "My Wife is a Gangster 3", "Tomb Thief", "Best Time", "Phi becomes a Disturbing Object", "The Ghost Blows the Lamp"...
She was recognized by experts with 2 Golden Horse awards, 1 Hoa Bieu award and many other awards.
Last year, Shu Qi's career continued to develop brilliantly when trying her hand at directing.
Her debut film directed by her, "Girl", entered the main competition category of the 2025 Venice International Film Festival, and also helped her win the Best Director award at the 2025 Busan International Film Festival.
In 1997, Shu Qi met actor and director Stephen Fung when they co-starred in the movie "Bishonen", after which the two were rumored to be dating.
In March 2014, she posted a photo of Phung Duc Luan looking at his pet cat while eating, publicly announcing their relationship. On September 3, 2016, the couple announced their marriage.
The two have been together for 10 years, living quietly and sweetly, but still have no children.
Previously, when asked about having children, Shu Qi repeatedly said "depending on fate", she once frankly shared: "Children should not be a compulsory thing in marriage". Stephen Fung then continued: "Our family already has two children who have never grown up".
In an interview in November 2025, when further asked "still don't want to have children?", Shu Qi replied: "No, I always wanted to have children, just that it's still not as desired.
She admitted that when she was young, she never thought about getting married, because she thought it was impossible to predict whether she could go with her partner for a long time or not.
