In recent days, images of the actress appearing at the celebration of Thien Hau Thanh Mau's birthday on Mi Chau Island, Fujian have attracted attention on Chinese social networks. In a gentle gray shirt, Luu Dao appeared with a calm and solemn demeanor among thousands of believers.
Many viewers believe that this image clearly reflects the actress's turbulent journey over nearly two decades.
Born in 1978 in Nanchang (Jiangxi, China), Liu Tao had a not very prosperous childhood. From a young age, she was used to helping her family, doing housework and living independently. Time in the army also helped the actress cultivate discipline and perseverance.
After stepping into the entertainment industry, Liu Tao quickly became famous thanks to the role of A Chau in the movie Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Her gentle beauty and emotional acting style helped her become a favorite face on the Chinese screen in the early 2000s.
In 2007, Luu Dao married businessman Vuong Kha after only about 20 days of knowing each other. The lavish wedding of the two once made Chinese media call this a typical "entrance to the realm" marriage in showbiz.
At that time, the actress announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry to focus on taking care of her family. However, a rapid upheaval occurred when the global financial crisis of 2008 caused Wang Ke's business to falter, leading to huge debt.
According to Chinese media, the actress's family once fell into a prolonged difficult period. Wang Ke had psychological problems and had to be treated with medication for a long time.
Instead of choosing to divorce, Liu Tao decided to return to the entertainment industry to overcome the crisis with her husband and repay her husband hundreds of millions of RMB in debt. In about 4 years, she continuously participated in many film projects, television programs and commercial events.
Audiences once called her a "money-making machine" or "good-hearted countrywoman", because of the image of a woman carrying the family for many years.
A major turning point in Liu Tao's career came when she participated in the movie Mazu in 2012. The role of Thien Hau Thanh Mau helped the actress create a special impression on the audience, especially in the Fujian region.
After that, she continued to affirm her name through famous works such as "Lang Gia Bang" or "Hoan Lac Tung".
From the image of a wealthy wife facing upheavals, Liu Tao gradually built the position of an independent, strong woman with her own place in the entertainment industry.
Many viewers commented that what makes the public admire Liu Tao is not only her ability to make money or revive the family economy, but also her way of overcoming upheavals to maintain a calm and brave image for many years.
In her 40s, the actress still maintains her appeal in Chinese showbiz and is considered a symbol of modern women: not dependent on marriage or "honey", but creating support for herself.
