She’s already 56 this year, yet she actually looks younger and younger! With her graceful figure, skin as white as cream, and eyes as lively as a young girl’s, it’s no wonder she’s been called a “man-magnet”! In my mind, Xu Qing has always had the face of a first love—I wonder how many men have fallen for her over the years! Unfortunately, she has chosen to remain single, eschewing the mundane realities of marriage to pursue the freedom to set off on a whim!
Yet this “Beijing socialite” was spotted by Chen Kaige and cast in a film as early as her junior
year in college, and rumors about her love life spread throughout the industry even before her work did. Later, she began dating Wang Zhiwen; the couple was the envy of everyone as the perfect match. When Wang Zhiwen wanted to return to Shanghai, she ended their four-year relationship with a single sentence: “If you leave, don’t come back.”After that came Liu Bo, a talented graduate of Peking University, who divorced his wife and bought a siheyuan for her. They lived together for four years, and she believed this was marriage, but in the end, Liu Bo’s business failed and he died far from home; she never received that marriage certificate.
