Liu Yan: 'Men make rude jokes about my appearance'

Chinese actor Liu Yan, from "Meng Hua Lu", said he was embarrassed many times because his male colleagues made fun of his figure.

On Mango TV on April 16, the 44-year-old beauty spoke for the first time about her unhappy experiences working in the entertainment industry. When she first started her career, Liu Yan built a sexy image, often appearing in low-cut outfits. Since then, many people started calling Liu Yan by the nickname "super bust".

Gradually, many colleagues, including close and distant male colleagues, joked about Liu Yan's body. For example, an MC said while hosting a show with the actress: "Liu Yan is not a flower vase, she is a milk bottle."

At those times, there were many people around, so Liu Yan was too considerate to say anything, to avoid making her colleague lose face. Afterwards, she told her colleague privately that she did not like to joke like that. The beauty did not expect her male colleague to say back: "I thought you liked to joke like that, to promote your image with your body."

Since 2016, Liu Yan has been more careful about the way she dresses, and has been less sexy to avoid similar situations. The actress said that if she were teased about her body, even while filming, she would express her opposition and not stay silent.

Liu Yan is from Hunan province and comes from a poor family. She came to Beijing to start a career at the age of 18. She worried countless times that she would not be able to survive here. The beauty said: "When I first arrived in Beijing, it was winter. At that time, not only did I feel the cold cutting my skin, but my heart was also cold. I was afraid that this city would abandon me on the street at any time." After that, she set a goal to become an excellent MC. Since becoming famous as a program host, Liu Yan has had the opportunity to act in movies and television series.

The beauty participated in many projects such as The Two Detectives, The Four Greats, Monster Hunt 2, Ip Man's Story, The Secret History of Yang Guifei, Martial Universe, and A Dream of Flowers. She said she has saved enough to not have to work much. In recent years, the actress has been living slowly, only accepting projects that she likes.

Liu Yan is still single and wants to date but hasn't met the right person yet. The beauty doesn't accept hasty love or hasty marriage. She said: "If I'm alone until old age, I'll still live happily and brilliantly. I think using the concept of marriage to judge a woman's value is superficial and one-sided. Every woman, whether unmarried, divorced or a single mother, is a miracle of this life."
