On the afternoon of March 25, Liu Xiaoqing posted an article on Weibo, responding to rumors that she had passed away. The actress wrote: "Just now I saw the news of my death again, is this a death omen? Hoping I die so much? Born from the same root, how can we bear to torment each other so much!".
Rumors began to spread on March 24, released by a person with the foreign name "Daniel Fang". Rumors suggest that Liu Xiaoqing " drowned in a swimming pool in Hengdian" and deliberately linked it to the real death of a late food critic to increase credibility.
Information quickly spread, some online accounts took advantage of the opportunity to post shocking headlines such as "A generation of declining film queens" to attract access, seriously affecting the online environment.
In fact, in June 2025, Liu Xiaoqing was also rumored to have "deceased". At that time, she directly rejected it on Weibo with a cheerful tone. But this time, the actress was really angry because of the unreasonable rumor.
From 2002 to now, Liu Xiaoqing has been rumored to have passed away 6 times. Those who spread rumors often fabricate causes such as "cancer", "myocardial infarction", "suicide" or "death at midnight", and even fabricate fake details such as the exact time to the minute or "the morgue of a 3rd-class hospital in Beijing".
In stark contrast to rumors, Liu Xiaoqing in real life is still very healthy and active. She runs 8,000m every day, swims 40 laps, and has a bone density of 172% compared to people of the same age, close to the level of young people.
She also maintained taking cold showers and weightlifting for 30 years. Liu Xiaoqing pursues a balanced diet between meat and vegetables, believing that being vegetarian for a long time can lead to osteoporosis.
In 2026, the 75-year-old actress attracted attention when participating in the short film "The Legend of Wu Zetian", winning the Quality Actress award at the short film awards ceremony. She filmed 4 short films in 1 year, and can memorize 80 dialogue scripts in just 5 days.
In the show "A Lifetime of Prosperity", when talking about death, she frankly declared: "I will not die", and added: "The world is yours, also ours, but ultimately belongs to healthy and long-lived people".
