Xu Yijing is a firefighter who was born in the special forces, and she has received professional training from the army, she is very physically fit, and when facing the monster attack, she is more sharp and decisive than the other residents in the apartment.
And she always takes the lead, every time she encounters danger, she will always rush to the front, with super force and brains to protect the people in the apartment.
In this "island of the last days", Xu Yijing is a well-deserved strong man and leader.
She often wears simple sports bras and small shorts, but it doesn't make people feel "exposed" at all, only giving people a strong and powerful aesthetic with great impact.
In the first season, one of the most well-known scenes is when she fights monsters in the vents, the vents are narrow and dirty, and the whole plot is extremely exciting, but what makes the audience feel more exciting is Xu Yijing's muscles.
My sister's abs are clearer than my future.
Her every movement shows a super sense of strength and charm, which makes people can't take their eyes off it.
Especially when she jumped off the vent, the "Christmas tree back muscle" appeared, which instantly became a hot topic on the whole network when it was broadcast, and many people felt that this muscle was so strong that it didn't look real, like CG synthesis.
But in fact, this is all practiced by actor Li Shiying, in order to be able to present this ultimate effect, she reduced her body fat to 8%.
In order to maintain this strong fitness material, she will enter the state of fitness and lifting anytime and anywhere on the set.
In the first season, she would do push-ups on the set, or use simple equipment to stimulate her muscles, wearing a familiar "costume".
After doing push-ups, you are drenched in sweat, and it is simply not too glamorous.
In the second season, her muscles are also beyond the standard online, and because she has a scene in the second part of the transformation into a monster, half of her body turns into a charred monster form, and with this role change, her physique seems to have become stronger.
In order to practice this kind of strength, Li Shiying is more committed to training, and in September last year, she posted a number of videos of herself exercising on social platforms, and wrote: "Now my clothes don't fit, bye-bye, beautiful clothes." ”
Recently, she posted this behind-the-scenes footage on the set, and the arm muscles and back muscles shocked everyone, and half of her arms were almost as big as her head.
Her special effects of "transforming into a monster" are even more amazing, and the ratio of half and half of the human body and the monster body on her body has no sense of disobedience, but it fits very well, adding to the wildness of the character.
Li Shiying's sweat and passionate interpretation of the role were not in vain, she successfully exploded with this role and became synonymous with the strongest female warrior.
Outside the play, Li Shiying's own life is also fierce, beautiful, fierce, sand sculpture, and huge wealth, a muscular woman, a wealthy lady, and a sand sculpture comedian.

Li Shiying, who was still a newcomer at the time, interpreted this relatively complex role very naturally and received a lot of praise.
In the same year, she participated in the imaginary marriage show "We Are Married", and partnered with Junjin, a mythical member of the boy group, to play the imaginary couple.
This is also the first case of a hypothetical couple developing into a real couple in the show "We Are Married", but the two announced their breakup half a year later.
In 2010, she starred in the Korean version of "Mischievous Kiss", playing the role of the second female Yin Hera, a rich daughter with a noble temperament.
Since her debut, she has appeared in two new film and television works almost every year, and her acting career is very wide.
In 2011, she starred in the comedy film "A Dangerous Meeting", which was widely acclaimed.
In 2012, she co-starred with Lee Dong Wook in the TV series "Violent Romance", and her short curly hair style, superb acting skills, and sparks with Lee Dong Wook attracted many audiences.
In 2013, she participated in the horror movie "Murder Comics", which also proved that she is not only good at romance and comedy, but also capable of acting in horror films.
Her acting career has not been smooth sailing, and there have been times when the ratings have been poor, but she will not be deterred by failure, but has the courage to try a variety of different types of works.
In 2019, she starred in the family drama "Why That, Mr. Bongsang" once again created a grand occasion with ratings exceeding 22.7%.
She plays the younger sister in the family, her personality is diametrically opposed to her twin sister, she is a trouble-making "troublemaker", and she often gets into trouble, this role is also very different from her previous roles, but her performance is very exciting, and she also won the Excellence Award at the KBS Acting Awards that year.

She is praised as the strongest female warrior character in Korean TV dramas, and to be able to interpret this role perfectly, acting skills alone are not enough, as we mentioned above, she did a lot of physical training for this.

In 2010, at the beginning of Li Shiying's acting career, she received a play with a boxing theme.
That was her first contact with boxing, and although the production of the show eventually fell through, Lee Shiying took this opportunity to Xi learn boxing more actively.
She was tall, long-armed, left-handed, and passionate about boxing, and because she was so enthusiastic and serious, her agency didn't know what to tell her after the TV series died in production.
Her family was also not very supportive of her boxing, and when she failed for the first time after starting boxing, her parents threw a party to celebrate, thinking that she "should give up now."
Many people, like her parents, think that boxing is just her private hobby, but on November 28, 2010, at the Korean Boxing Association's National Life Sports Boxing Competition, Lee Shiying won the championship in the "women's group -50 kg", which shocked the media and the public in one fell swoop.
This was just the beginning, and in March 2011, she once again defeated all opponents in the "48kg class" of the National Women's Amateur Boxing Championship.
From the participatory nature of life sports to the relatively professional competition of amateur boxing, she swept the championship and moved forward with unstoppable momentum, and people speculated at the time whether she was going to turn professional next.
On July 7, 2012, she won the women's 48kg championship in the 42nd Seoul Amateur Boxing Tournament and the 93rd National Sports Tournament Seoul Boxing Representative Trials.
This is another step in her boxing career, because winning this title means that she has qualified for the national sports conference.
In December 2012, after one boxing match after another, she qualified for the national team final selection tournament with the second place.
At the beginning of 2013, she began to prepare for the tournament in earnest, and in the tournament held on April 24 of that year, she finally defeated her opponent 22-20 to win the selection, officially becoming a member of the national team and becoming the first actress in Korean history to be selected for the national team.
In May, she announced at the launch of the new film that she would raise her weight class from 48 kg to 51 kg, but unfortunately lost to her opponent in the women's ordinary lightweight quarterfinals of the National Sports Conference in October of that year.
She was knocked out by her opponent in the third round, and the outcome was a foregone conclusion. According to related reports, in the difficult third round, Li Shiying dislocated her shoulder, but she continued to play after resetting her shoulder, although she still failed to win, but her perseverance alone is worthy of admiration.
She then became active as a professional boxer for more than two years before ending her professional career in June 2015 when she announced the end of her professional career due to a Xi dislocated shoulder.
The actress took a good job and suddenly decided to be a boxer at the same time, which caused a sensation at the time, but most netizens reacted very well to Li Shiying, and everyone could clearly see the process of her starting from the bottom step by step, and naturally had a better impression of her.
After retiring as a professional boxer, she did not give up boxing and continued to enjoy boxing as an ordinary person.
In addition to boxing, she also likes to climb mountains and work out, and after retiring for so many years, her physical fitness has never fallen.
In August 2016, she also starred in a real enlistment variety show "Real Man", in which she surpassed the male teammates who entered the institute together with her super physical strength with boxing, showing the strength of endurance first.
Li Shiying has a good reputation in the entertainment industry, on the one hand, because she is one of the top players in the circle in terms of endurance, courage and competitive spirit, and on the other hand, because of her cute and hearty personality.
She will do what she likes, no matter what others say or think, she will always move forward, like the boxing mentioned earlier.
She also loves to drive, and her experience of getting a driver's license is also legendary, with 2 types of small, 1 large and special trailer licenses.
When she is on variety shows, her true personality will always attract her many fans. In 2013, she appeared as a guest on a variety show with judo athlete Choo Sung-hoon, and she was very active in the show, and the ratings of the episode she starred in soared to 23.6%.
In July of the same year, she participated in another talk show and happily admitted plastic surgery, as for why she admitted plastic surgery, her answer was also hilarious: "I know what I did at a glance."
Regarding plastic surgery, when she was boxing, many people asked, "Is it okay to practice boxing with a face?"
Li Shiying is also quite open-minded, she has lived for more than ten years with a facelifted face, and she has even forgotten that she has had plastic surgery.
Her energy is too strong, taking care of acting, variety shows, and boxing has made people look very busy, and she also got married and had a child by the way.
On July 13, 2017, she announced that she was 4 months pregnant and would get married in September.
In September, she and Zhao Chengxian, the CEO of the catering industry who was 9 years older than her, entered the marriage hall, when she was half a year pregnant, and went to run a half marathon, she went mountaineering when she was nine months pregnant, and gave birth to her son Zhao Zhengyun in January 2018.
Not long after giving birth to a baby, she went to star in a variety show that needed to run all over the world.
This is not over, the next year she began to gain weight and muscle for "Sweet Home" while filming a new play, and soon turned into a muscular woman.
Immediately after 2020, she went to participate in the very challenging survival show "I'm Alive", you can imagine how hardcore it is when you listen to the name, Li Shiying also showed excellent physical strength, mental strength and team spirit in the show, which was well received.
It's hard to imagine that she has the energy to run her own short video platform while juggling all of this.
But she really did it, and with her superb acting skills and sand sculpture character, she established the status of "Internet comedian", made all kinds of hilarious short videos, and her TikTok account alone has accumulated more than 17 million followers.
She is making videos very carefully, because the man who often appears next to her is a well-known TikTok planner in South Korea and has provided video ideas for many celebrities.
Just looking at her sand sculpture videos may not show her intentions, but it is undeniable that these contents have attracted the attention of many netizens.
However, the man who collaborated with Li Shiying in short videos is often mistaken for her husband, but her "real" husband Zhao Chengxian is a bigwig in the catering industry, who has successfully operated multiple catering brands at a young age and has considerable wealth.
The family of three lives in a luxury apartment in Gangnam, and it is reported that the market price is more than 3 billion won (about 16 million yuan).
But these don't seem to be at all comparable to the personality charm of this strong, powerful, and nonsensical female star.
Li Shiying can devote herself to both her acting career and the sport she loves, forging her body with will and sweat again and again, showing an incredible figure and acting skills, and at the same time, she can live actively and enthusiastically under the camera and boxing ring, and she will always be full of energy.
Such an actress is really awesome, I hope my sister can always maintain such an invincible state, and the strongest female warrior deserves her name~
