Ugly, no background, but dare to break into Hollywood alone.

In the 1960s, Liu Yuling was born in New York, USA. Due to poor family conditions, a family of five people can only squeeze into a basement. At that time, no one expected that such a poor family would be able to produce a Hollywood superstar in the future.
