The charm still exists, the old and the young eat it, and there are countless flirtatious men, and now at the age of 55, she is still a stunner in the world
From "stunners in the world" to "princess disease": Xu Qing and the dilemma of women in our time
Xu Qing, a woman who is labeled all over the place. "The charm is still there", "all ages can eat", "stunner in the world", these words all point to her eye-catching beauty and girlish sense that does not match her age. These praises are accompanied by negative comments such as "princess disease", "hypocrisy", and "low emotional intelligence". From the growth environment of the "Beijing Circle Princess" to the emotional entanglement with many men, to the controversy caused by the reality show, Xu Qing's life always seems to be swaying between praise and controversy.
Through Xu Qing's experience, we see not only the private life of a female star, but also the dilemma faced by contemporary women. On the one hand, society has strict requirements for women's appearance and age, as if women's value can only be reflected through "beauty". Xu Qing, who is over fifty years old, is still known as a "stunner in the world" because she is well-maintained and still maintains a girlish appearance, as if her value is only to please men. On the other hand, society's expectations of women are full of contradictions. It is important to be independent and successful in her career, but if a woman is too strong and does not conform to the traditional image of "gentle and virtuous" women, she will be labeled as "difficult to get along with" and "difficult to mess with".
Xu Qing's performance in the reality show "Flowers and Boys" is the embodiment of this contradiction. The "princess disease" and low emotional intelligence she exhibits are certainly due to her own personality, but they also reflect society's double standards for women. If a man shows the same behavior on the show, it may be considered "true temperament", but Xu Qing has to bear more criticism and accusations.
What is more worth pondering is, why is the public so concerned about Xu Qing's love life? From Chen Kaige to Wang Zhiwen, to the wealthy businessman Liu Bo and the little fresh meat Hua Chenyu, Xu Qing's every relationship experience has been examined under a magnifying glass. It's as if a woman's value can only be reflected through the men around her. This kind of objectification of women is not only disrespectful to women, but also a distortion of social values.
Xu Qing's life choices may not be understood by everyone, but her attitude of being brave enough to be herself is worthy of our reflection. In today's society, women should have a variety of value choices, they can pursue careers, they can also enjoy love, they can be gentle wives, and they can also be independent individuals. It is important that we step out of society's stereotypes about women, respect each individual's choice, and allow women to live their true selves, rather than being defined and objectified.
