At the age of 39, she does not hide traces of time, choosing to appear with a natural appearance instead of trying to "frame" herself according to the youthful standards often seen in the entertainment industry.
In the series of images circulating, close-up cameras recorded sparkling gray hairs under the lights. Instead of editing or avoiding, Liu Yifei maintained a calm attitude. Before the media's question about the concept of beauty, she shared: "When you have something to express, that is beauty. Otherwise, beauty is simply an appearance".
This statement quickly received many compliments from netizens. Many viewers believe that what is precious about Liu Yifei is "relaxation", not chasing after the "white - young - thin" standard, not too concerned about comments surrounding appearance or age. On forums, many opinions expressed agreement with the way she faces time naturally.
In fact, in the Chinese entertainment environment, the pressure to maintain image and figure is always present, especially for female artists. The fact that an A-list star publicly reveals her gray hair without correction is considered a rare action. This is even more noteworthy when Liu Yifei has been associated with the image of a "fairy sister" for many years.
However, besides the support, there are still mixed opinions. Some netizens continue to comment on the weight and appearance change of the actress. However, Liu Yifei seems to have no response to negative comments.
Her appearance this time is seen as a gentle message about accepting the process of maturity. Many viewers believe that when people stop "fighting" with time, they will find their own self-confidence.
In the context of increasingly diverse beauty standards, the image of Liu Yifei with a few natural gray hairs may not be too big, but it suggests a discussion about how to recognize age in the entertainment industry.
