The 38th Bach Hoa Awards ceremony has closed, but a group photo of the 4 actresses continues to cause a fever on the internet and create lively discussions.
In the photo, veteran actress Liu Xiaoqing, 75 years old, stands in the center, behind her are Vien Tuyen, Bach Bach Ha and Duong Tu. The standing positions of the 4 people quickly caused discussion.
Netizens described this lineup as "female goddess and generals", or "MVP summary moment of Chinese showbiz". A series of parody contents also appeared one after another, bringing this topic to more than 100 million views.
Yuan Quan has a calm, cold temperament, so he is likened to a scheming "successor general". Bai Baihe exudes sharpness and strength, no different from a "general" who just triumphed. Yang Zi, the youngest of the four, was conferred the title of "new laureate".
And Liu Xiaoqing's aura when standing in the center is considered to be very worthy of the two words "female goddess".
However, besides humorous comments, there are also many opinions recognizing the reality that Vien Tuyen, Bach Bach Ha or Duong Tu all own many quality works, they are not the background for anyone.
What is really noteworthy in this photo is the moment 4 actresses of 4 different generations gathered in one frame, each with their own aura.
Liu Xiaoqing belongs to the 5X generation representing experience and bravery; Vien Tuyen belongs to the 7X generation with a humble and calm appearance; Bai Baihe belongs to the 8X generation full of energy and willpower; and Yang Zi belongs to the 9X generation representing vitality and youthfulness.
The reason why the public places Liu Xiaoqing in the center of attention is because her life journey has gone through many ups and downs, with enough material of a "female lead".
Liu Xiaoqing is the only actress in the history of the Hundred Flowers Awards to have consecutively won the Best Actress (Miss Photogenic) award 3 times in 1987, 1988 and 1989; in total she owns 5 Hundred Flowers cups.
In a period when movie ticket prices were only about 0.2 CNY, the movie "Phu Dung Tran" starring her once achieved revenue of 120 million CNY. Some people in the industry estimate that if converted according to the current market size, this achievement is equivalent to about 30 billion CNY.
Liu Xiaoqing once hosted the first Xuan Wan gala night of CCTV, being the only female MC on stage. After that, she entered the business field and was called by the media "the first female billionaire of China".
On screen, she can transform into the gentle Tofu-selling Western Lady in "Phu Dung Tran", but can also take on the image of the decisive and strong Empress Wu Zetian in "Wu Zetian".
What makes many people admire more about Liu Xiaoqing's personality is her ability to recover after falling to the bottom. There was a time when she was detained for more than 1 year due to tax issues, causing many people to think that her career had ended.
But in prison, she still persistently ran, learned English and read law books. After returning, Liu Xiaoqing did not complain about fate but started again from small roles, gradually restoring her reputation.
At the age of 75, Liu Xiaoqing continues to try her hand at short films, actively participating in reality TV shows, and at the same time diligently training to maintain her health and youthful appearance compared to her age.
