"Treasure" of Chinese cinema and dares to cross all limits

Liu Xiaoqing (born 1955) is known as the "national treasure of Chinese cinema". Her artistic career spans more than half a century with great contributions to Chinese cinema. In 1995, her role as Wu Zetian in the film of the same name made her famous throughout Asia.

Liu Xiaoqing has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress 6 times and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress 3 years in a row, all of which are prestigious film awards in the Chinese entertainment industry. For many years, she has been a name that dominates the media and is considered a perfect actress in the eyes of the public.

At the peak of her career, she also used her fame to develop her business. The actress once owned 26 media and business companies, with an estimated fortune of 500 million yuan to 1 billion yuan (equivalent to 1,700 billion to 3,500 billion VND).

She was once ranked among the most powerful women in China, ranking 45th in the list of 50 richest people compiled by Forbes magazine in 1999.

In 2002, the actress was prosecuted for tax evasion, sentenced to 422 days in prison and fined 5.73 million yuan (nearly 20 billion VND). This scandal ruined Liu Xiaoqing's career and reputation.

After being released from prison, Liu Xiaoqing rebuilt her career. She continued to affirm her position as a "treasure" of Chinese cinema. Over the years, she has regularly acted in films and accepted small roles.

In 2023, Liu Xiaoqing appeared in the project Ice Sniper 2 and her role immediately became the center of media attention. In the recently released work, the actress plays Tan Nuong - the daughter of the leader of a notorious bandit group.

After her father passed away, Dam Nuong stood up to lead her juniors, determined to fight against all hostile forces with all strength and fierceness.

Liu Xiaoqing confidently portrayed the character from when she was a young girl to when she became a strong female warrior. When it aired, Ice Sniper 2 quickly attracted the attention of a large audience in the country of a billion people. In particular, Liu Xiaoqing's role was the center of discussion.

The fact that the U70 star plays a young woman and the daughter of a male colleague 18 years her junior has caused public discussion. On forums, most netizens commented that the Wu Zetian star is too old to play a young girl.

"No matter how much the audience recognizes Liu Xiaoqing's acting skills, they still feel confused by the age gap between the character this actress plays and her real age," one viewer commented on Sohu.

In addition, the difference in appearance makes Liu Xiaoqing and her younger co-star - Wang Xinjun - look somewhat awkward when acting out intimate scenes.

Liu Xiaoqing has played characters younger than her actual age many times. In the film that made her name, Wu Zetian, the veteran star played the role from a young girl to an old woman.

However, at that time, Liu Xiaoqing did not receive any criticism from the public, many people even praised her for being young and beautiful. However, the abuse of playing a young woman role when she was already "old" caused Liu Xiaoqing to receive negative reactions.

In 2014, she played a 16-year-old girl in The Legend of Sui and Tang , when she was already in her sixties. Her pairing with Trinh Quoc Lam, an actor 21 years her junior, also caused controversy, especially the romantic scenes.

In 2021, Liu Xiaoqing brought the image of an old person to the screen for the first time, through the TV series Say One Thing, Do Another. The roles of the female leads' grandmothers, played by Liu Xiaoqing, surprised and delighted many people. Viewers supported Liu Xiaoqing living up to her age.

In response to negative reactions from the audience, Liu Xiaoqing explained: "Each role reflects myself, the character, and the times. I want to try any character I haven't tried yet."

3 failed marriages and the current secret happiness

In her personal life, Liu Xiaoqing is an artist whose love life is as eventful and thrilling as a psychological drama. With her beauty, wealth and acting talent, she makes her colleagues infatuated. Among them, there are a few who are reciprocated by the actress.

When she first arrived in Beijing (China) to start a business and life was still difficult, Liu Xiaoqing met a Beijing opera troupe actor named Wang Li. Although she did not have feelings for Wang Li, Liu Xiaoqing still agreed to marry him.

Too absorbed in work, Liu Xiaoqing also neglected her responsibilities as a wife and even had an abortion to pursue her career. Her marriage with Wang Li gradually became cold and a breakup was inevitable.

In 1980, while filming the movie Deep in the Spirit , Liu Xiaoqing met and fell in love with the married director - Tran Quoc Quan. In 1988, Liu Xiaoqing and Tran Quoc Quan officially became a family.

Her husband's support helped Liu's career flourish. However, Liu Xiaoqing's sensitive heart continued to flutter for the young actor Jiang Wen, causing her second marriage to fall into turmoil.

Liu Xiaoqing's relationship with Jiang Wen angered Tran Quoc Quan. The actress separated from her second husband in 1990.

After the divorce, Tran Quoc Quan published an autobiography, revealing Liu Xiaoqing's affair, which severely damaged her reputation. Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen's love affair did not have a happy ending when the young director fell in love with actress Ninh Tinh during a collaboration.

After breaking up with Jiang Wen, Liu Xiaoqing rushed into a whirlwind romance. In 2000, Liu Xiaoqing fell for the younger actor A Feng despite the fact that A Feng was already married.

Their passionate love affair caused A Phong to abandon his wife and children. Their relationship lasted during the time Liu Xiaoqing was involved in a tax evasion scandal and was imprisoned.

In 2003, just one month after being released from prison, Liu Xiao and A Feng registered their marriage, officially becoming husband and wife. At that time, the actress was 48 years old, and had to shoulder a debt of more than 20 million NDT (nearly 70 billion VND).

After being released from prison, Liu Xiaoqing tried to rebuild her career. As her career gradually stabilized and Liu Xiaoqing gradually paid off her debts, her love life became stormy.

After getting married, Vuong Hieu Ngoc quickly transferred his two luxury villas in the US and China to the famous actress. Liu Hieu Khanh's life with her fourth husband is very sweet.

The famous star confessed that to have the happy life she has now, she had reached the peak and also fallen to the abyss. The challenges in life have taught Liu Xiaoqing to live an optimistic life.
