Preamble:
When the blockbuster of the unexpected encounter between 40-year-old Sun Li and her 21-year-old sister spread on social platforms, this set of ingenious works not only won the praise of many netizens, but also aroused people's thinking about age and beauty.
Two generations of sisters interpret the style that spans the years
Sun Li, a well-known actress born in 1972, has received widespread attention and discussion for her outstanding performances in many movies such as "Let the Bullets Fly" and "White Deer Plain".
Now nearly half a hundred years old, she is still active in the film and television industry.
And her younger sister Sun Yi, who has always been low-key, has just entered the age of 21.
On weekdays, I focus on my studies, and occasionally share some life photos on my social accounts.
Unexpectedly, this photo of cooperation with her sister made her also bathe in the halo.
The two of them are sisters, but the dresses and demeanors in this blockbuster perfectly interpret the cross-era style of "living together across generations".
40-year-old Sun Li's green silk long skirt has a dusty temperament
In the blockbuster, Sun Li wore a dark green silk dress, which set off her slender figure.
The elaborate pleats at the hem of the skirt are particularly touching with her creamy makeup.
"I deliberately chose this light and fluttery long dress, hoping to highlight the feminine and dignified side of the woman. Sun Li said with a smile.
Different from the exquisite combination of screen images in the past, this time her flowing dress is more like walking from a classical oil painting.
Standing in the center of the studio, she raised her chin slightly, her eyes were direct but elegant, as if she was a noble lady who had not been deeply involved in the world.
The light and shadow hit her face, and Sun Li, who was over forty years old, was not as tight as a girl in her twenties and thirties, and there were already a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes.
But it is these subtle traces that increase the realism of her entire image and exude a unique charm.
Thinking about this old actor who has been in the film and television industry for more than 20 years, he doesn't dye more exaggerated makeup, nor does he deliberately choose angles, but just faces the camera with his truest self.
This indifferent calmness makes her exude a kind of "through vicissitudes, both inside and outside" bearing, like an intellectual and elegant middle-aged lady.
21-year-old Sun Yi exudes an old-fashioned and serious temperament
And her younger sister Sun Yi is in strong contrast with her.
As a representative of the new generation of the post-00s, the avant-garde fashion she chooses is completely different from Sun Li's classical beauty.
The combination of a knitted jacket and ripped jeans, combined with exaggerated metal earrings, is a complete street cool outfit.
But when she stood calmly in front of the log wall, with her hands in her trouser pockets, this casual posture revealed a hint of old-fashioned and serious temperament.
"Actually, I'm usually relatively low-key, but I didn't expect to feel like 'I'm pretty handsome' when I wear this!" Sun Yi smiled happily.
Unlike Sun Li, as a young person born in the 00s, she was born in this era of shaping personality and chasing trends.
Therefore, this rebellious dress does not violate her own temperament at all, but adds a bit of flamboyant and fresh personality to her.
Standing next to her sister, facing the camera, she is not at all restrained or immature.
This is different from the shy answers of many girls of the same age, Sun Yi has a calm and natural demeanor, like a strong woman who has been trained.
What is surprising is that Sun Yi is only nearly twenty years younger than Sun Li, but Sun Yi does not show the slightest sense of youthfulness that matches her age.
Her indifferent and calm temperament has both the freedom of young people and the old-fashioned dignity of mature women.
Compared with her sister, she is innocent and intellectual, and it seems that the passage of time has not left too many traces on her face, but has honed a mature beauty beyond her actual age.
Sisters in the same frame charm and youth are intertwined with different scenery
When the two stand side by side in front of the camera, the sisters form a contrasting beauty that transcends time and space.
40-year-old Sun Li is in the stage of coexistence of female beauty and maturity and sexiness; And Sun Yi, who is in her early 20s, is the golden age of beauty and youth.
The two exude the brilliance and charm unique to different age groups, but because they have similar facial features and temperament, they will not have a sense of disobedience.
The elder sister is gentle and quiet like water, and the younger sister is as flamboyant and agile as fire; One shows the charm of the precipitation of the years, and the other exudes the vigor of youth.
When two very different beauties are intertwined in the same frame, a strange picture beauty is produced.
In the photo, Sun Li is standing on the right side, wearing a long skirt, looking at her sister with a slight sideways head.
Sun Yi leaned in front of her with her hands in her pockets, and smiled back with a wink.
The two of them looked serene, but their eyes were full of wisdom, like a pair of friends who had experienced the world.
This kind of familiarity and trust beyond age has also achieved the tacit interaction and cooperation between the two in this group of blockbusters.
Break the boundaries of age and redefine the temperament of beauty
When this set of ingenious photos spread, it quickly caused heated discussions on the Internet.
Most netizens were impressed by the different styles perfectly interpreted by the sisters:
"I thought that Teacher Sun Li would choose some more eye-catching costumes and angles, after all, most middle-aged actresses dress like this.
I didn't expect her to show her true self generously this time, it's rare to be very elegant!"
"Sister Sun Yi is also too fantastic, this aura is more like a strong woman than my eldest sister!
Indeed, when facing the camera and the public's scrutiny, many middle-aged women will be more or less confused and uneasy.
They try to maintain their charm and worth by various means, but they often backfire and appear to work hard.
And the 40-year-old Sun Li dares to generously show her true self in her living state.
She didn't deliberately hide the fine lines on her face, nor did she choose exaggerated clothing and posture.
From her indifferent demeanor, people were pleasantly surprised to find that a woman at the age of forty could also be very elegant and charming.
Similarly, Sun Yi, who is only in her early twenties, is not as modest, shy and cautious as other little girls.
The calmness and sophistication she showed also broke people's stereotypes of 20-year-old girls.
It can be seen that no matter whether you are forty or twenty years old, women will always have endless possibilities to redefine themselves.
When a woman has enough personality and self-confidence, she will be able to break the world's aesthetic vision and show the most authentic beauty in a different way.
A breakthrough in fashion embraces thousands of beautiful possibilities
The significance of this blockbuster film is not just to show the demeanor of two generations of women.
It lies more in the openness and inclusiveness shown by Sun Li and Sun Yi, the redefinition of the multiple possibilities of beauty, and their appreciation and acceptance of themselves.
In this society where "youth is beauty", middle-aged women often need to face scrutiny and judgment from all sides.
They are also often Xi to being strict with themselves, trying to maintain the lost youth through various means.
However, this series of blockbusters is a wake-up call - but at the age of forty, why should a woman give up all her tolerance and kindness, they also deserve to go through every stage of life with dignity and enjoy the beauty of different ages.
Therefore, this is not only a successful cooperation between Sun Li and Sun Yi, but also an important breakthrough for the women's fashion industry.
It breaks the stereotype of middle-aged women and shows that in this era of tolerance and self-acceptance, every woman should confidently exude her own unique charm.
Epilogue:
So, let's end the story here.
When you and I look at those unique photographs again, we may be able to appreciate the beauty and diversity of women from a different perspective.
No matter what kind of challenges we face, we will be grateful for the courage conveyed by Sun Li and Sun Yi - as long as there is light in our hearts, time is destined to illuminate every woman's beautiful eyes.
