When it comes to Li Qihong, most people may not be familiar with it.
But when it comes to Guo Xiang in "Divine Eagle Hero", I believe that many people's minds will jump out of her figure.
Guo Xiangjiao, played by her, is cute and full of spirit, and her eyes are flowing, and the girl's love sinus and three points of shyness are interpreted just right, and she is out of the book.

In fact, this 25-year-old girl with a height of 1 meter 68, whether it is age or height, does not meet the role setting.
But the wonderful thing is that after she dressed up, her every move was inexplicably fit.
Even Mr. Jin Yong commented: "Li Qihong performed the temperament of Xiao Dong evil. ”
There is even a saying that describes her: "The human world is delicate into a role, the first person in ancient and modern Guo Xiang." ”
Recently, Li Qihong rarely posted a photo on social platforms.
● Li Qihong selfie
This selfie with no makeup, no filters, and too realistic eye bags surprised many people.
Li Qihong herself is very open-minded: "Many comments say that I am old, indeed old, and time passes really fast!" ”
He also said: "I am ashamed to see that actresses of the same age as myself are well maintained!" ”
It's a bit cute, but it's also a shame.
Even if you know that the years are merciless, when you find that the beauty is late, there is still some reluctance.
People who know her well say that in this life, her smile is very sweet, but her life is very bitter.

If life is not easy, who wants to leave home
Born in Hong Kong in 1970, Li Qihong moved to Canada with her parents when she was 6 years old.
At that time, not all hong Kong immigrants were rich, but also many poor people who were forced to make a living and wanted to change places.
Canada, which had a relatively loose policy and a large number of Chinese, became the first choice of many Hong Kong people at that time.
When I first arrived, Li Qihong's family's life was not good.
Parents do not know English, and can only engage in simple and basic jobs, such as doing miscellaneous work in restaurants, serving dishes, washing dishes, etc.
In order to save money, they have to save money, go to the supermarket to find the cheapest dishes, and buy discounted daily necessities.
Every penny has to be calculated.
Apart from renting a larger house than it was in Hong Kong, living conditions have not improved much.
The hardships of life made the young Li Qihong particularly sensible, she took the initiative to take care of the housework, and never asked for any gifts and snacks.
Relying on hard work and frugality, the family barely settled down in a foreign country.
But trouble got them anyway.
When Li Qihong was 13 years old, her mother's family hereditary psychotic attack not only could not go out to work, but also added an additional medical expense.
This makes the already difficult family even worse.
Li Qihong was not depressed because of the changes in her family, and in order to reduce the burden on her family, she went to school while doing odd jobs to earn money to subsidize her family.
Although it was hard, she never complained.
She is born to smile, and in front of outsiders, she always maintains a sunny and optimistic appearance.
Life kisses me with pain, but I return it with a song, which may be the most true portrayal of Li Qihong's attitude to life.

Eccentric, achievement of "sweetest Hong Kong sister"
In 1994, 24-year-old Li Qihong returned to Hong Kong to participate in this year's "Miss Hong Kong" contest.
The upper age limit of "Miss Hong Kong" is 25 years old, and Li Qihong has no advantage in age, or even at a disadvantage.
But with her sweet and lovely appearance and fresh and healing smile, she quickly stood out from the crowd.
Quirky, sincere and unpretentious.
At the scene of the final, it was a small story improvised with "sitting in prison", "pig pen", "stripping" and "freckles", which made up a large number of judges and spectators under the stage.
● Li Qihong made up stories
In the end, Li Qihong won the third place of Miss Hong Kong and won a "Most Popular Media Award".

Although it is inferior to champion Tan Xiaohuan and runner-up Huo Liming, Li Qihong's popularity and popularity are the highest among all people, and have the reputation of "the sweetest Hong Kong sister in history".
TVB (Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Corporation Limited) signed her, and she began her acting career.
In the same year, Li Qihong cooperated with Dawn, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and starred as the heroine Fang Tongxin in "Asir Morning".

This is TVB's Taiwan celebration drama, for a newcomer who has just debuted, it is really enviable to have such a starting point.
It shows how much she is praised.
The following year, Li Qihong played Guo Xiang in Jin Yong's martial arts drama "Divine Eagle Hero".
It is through this drama that she is red throughout the country.

"Guo Xiang is Jin Yong's divine stroke, and when this young girl with a string of pearls hanging around her neck and wearing a pale green shirt appeared at the Fengling Ferry, the depressing and tragic style of the whole book suddenly became bright."
Xiaolongnü and Yang Guo separated for sixteen years, Mr. Jin Yong wrote here and burst into tears, and the appearance of Guo Xiang dried his tears for Mr. Wang.
And Li Qihong gives Guo Xiang in the image a real soul and blood.
After the explosion of popularity, Li Qihong naturally became the head of TVB Hua Dan, and since then the film has continued to be.
She has been selected as one of the "Top Ten TV Artists" for two consecutive years and has been nominated for the Academy Awards several times.
In 1997, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 16th Hong Kong Film Awards for two films, Golden Leaf 2 and Stormtrooper Streets of Rage.
In 1998, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 17th Hong Kong Film Awards for two films, "The Thief Spy" and "Self-Combing".
In just a few years, Li Qihong has become a rare film and television win-win actress in TVB, although she did not win the award in the end, but the star road is already a smooth road.

In 1999, Li Qihong cooperated with Su Youpeng and Lin Zhiying to star in the Gulong martial arts drama "Peerless Double Glory".
The "little pepper Zhang Jing" dressed in red, brutal and spicy, passionate as fire, has become another screen classic she has created.
However, just as her acting career was soaring, the family's "curse" once again came, ruining her career prospects.

The fall of stars
In 2002, due to family genetics and work pressure, 32-year-old Li Qihong suffered from depression.
She often locked herself in the house, couldn't sleep all night, and often broke down and cried when she got up.
Even many times wanted to end his life.
She recalled in a later interview: "I used to wake up in the morning and cry for no reason, it was terrible, I also tried to drive and rushed down the overpass..."
During that time, she refused all film and television invitations and interviews, gave herself a long vacation, and went abroad for treatment.
Fortunately, she finally survived, and the treatment of more than 9 months allowed her to slowly come out of the shadow of the disease.
It is worth mentioning that during the illness, Li Qihong's Canadian boyfriend Corey has always been with her, taking care of her and enlightening her.
This also made Li Qihong sure that Corey is someone who can accompany her for a lifetime.
The year after their recovery, the two entered the palace of marriage and had a son.

They housed their home on a hill 1,500 feet above sea level in Canada, far from the hustle and bustle and sparsely populated, to enjoy a peaceful life.

The rebirth of angels
Li Qihong has also tried to seek a comeback.
But the speed of the entertainment industry is too fast, and the history of depression has made her look more old than her peers, and it is difficult to find a place in this circle of "looking at faces".
Moreover, her role was greatly limited, and she could only take on comedies, afraid that the tragic role would trigger old diseases.
Several films that have appeared in succession have not been able to make too much splash.
In 2013, the 43-year-old Li Qihong made a cameo appearance in the movie "Beijing Meets Seattle" as Dr. Tang, which was her last big screen appearance so far.

There is no longer the delicate and agile movement of the past, but more of an intellect and maturity.
The change is so great that many people can't recognize her for the first time when they first see the movie.
Perhaps it was the role of the doctor that gave Li Qihong some inspiration, and after filming this play, she really went to apply for the nursing profession.
She confessed that her former self, thanks to the care of doctors and nurses, came out of the darkness step by step and regained a new life.
I am undoubtedly lucky, but there are many more serious patients who need treatment and help.
I am more familiar with the psychology of patients with mental illness than the average person, and I am willing to contribute to helping these people overcome the disease.
With this belief, after more than two years of study, she successfully obtained her qualification certificate and became a child psychiatric nurse.
A wave of white clothes, continuing love and hope.
As a star in the entertainment industry, she seems to have fallen a long time ago, but in the medical world, she has transformed into an angel, healing and warming countless families.

Since you can't grasp the time, why not grow old gracefully
When she is idle, Li Qihong often interacts with fans on social platforms, and she generously answers the questions that the masses care about.
She was asked if she had ever thought of returning to the entertainment industry.
She said she never wanted to quit show business, but she didn't have a job looking for her in all these years.
Probably because he is older, he does not have a suitable role, plus he lives far away, and the producer does not want to waste airfare and accommodation, so there is no job opportunity.
She actually wants to meet her fans in the mainland.
These words sound quite poignant.
It is not that she has no money, nor that she feels that people will no longer have a beautiful scenery when they are old, but she takes "paying for the travel expenses of artists" as the reason why she did not receive an invitation.
She probably doesn't know what the price tag is in today's entertainment industry.
Not to mention well-known artists, even an eighteen-line small Internet celebrity will not take airfare and accommodation expenses seriously.
She left for 8 years, and then she left a whole era.

Although there are regrets, Li Qihong's life is also quite enviable.
The first half of life warms the audience with a smile, and the second half of life heals the patient with love.
The best side of what was once the best will always remain in the minds of a generation.
Now the family is harmonious, the career is stable, and I am engaged in the work I like every day.
No need to deliberately wear makeup, do not have to care about the body, and do not need to carry a heavy idol baggage, you can send a plain selfie to the public platform at will.
Since you can't grasp the time, it is not impossible to optimistically accept the status quo and grow old gracefully.
The beautiful appearance will eventually fade away, and only when the heart is rich and powerful can people shine forever. Text/Shepherd Dragon Idler
