"I know you and will always remember you. At that time, you were still very young, and everyone said you were beautiful, and now, I am here to tell you, for me, I think you are more beautiful now than when you were younger, when you were a young woman, and I love your battered face more than you did then. ”

Come with us and listen to Cool Girls talk about those things!
When the girl was in her twenties and thirties, she lived a life like a celebrity every day.
Waking up from a sweet dream, pulling up his long hair at will, his eyebrows in the mirror are far away, and his face is like a peach blossom. Wear beautiful dresses and handle your work with care and take care of your work, gaining a sense of challenge and accomplishment. In their spare time, the sisters gathered, shopping, drinking tea, laughing continuously...
When a girl grows into a woman in her forties and fifties, everything seems to be different.
When I woke up, the sky was still gray, and I tied my hair into a ball and prepared breakfast with a haggard face. The housework always seems to be out of place, and the party with friends is shelved. Only work is still the same, for a woman whose career has reached the ceiling, there is no longer any challenge.
When did it start? A bright girl let down her guard and became the person she once scorned. Only at night, she often reflected that the women who had withstood the erosion of the years, the women who had become more attractive over time, she also wanted to be like that.
Pina Baush //
She is the most famous modern dance choreographer in Germany, and the founder of the influential "dance theater" in the European art world, and she is known as the "First Lady of German Modern Dance". Such a slender woman, with her dancers, promoted the revolution in the entire history of dance in Germany in the 70s.
And in the sixties and seventies, no one understood Pina Baush's dance, or even thought it was garbage. But Pina Bausch insisted on being a "heretic" in the art world, continuing to create along the concept of "dance theater", "Muller Cafe", "Bluebeard", "1980" are her powerful works.
"Mueller Cafe"
Pina Baush believes that dance is not only a way to express beauty, but also a spiritual cleansing that enables the audience to face the soul and reflect on life. Any part of the body can be used to interpret life, I don't care how people move, I care about what people move.
In June 2009, Pina Bausch was diagnosed with cancer and five days after her diagnosis, she died suddenly at the age of 68 in the small town of Wuppertal (where Pina Baush's teacher, Kurt Yous, founded the "Dance Theater"). A few days ago, she was still busy with choreography, and she took the stage with the dancers in the performance, but she did not expect that it was also the end of her life.
Photographer Walter Fogor, who has documented most of Pina's photographs from her youth to her later years, commented: "She is like a lion, hidden in the body of a docile cat." She has a kind of quiet explosiveness, people feel her hidden passion in the drama, her beauty is breathtaking, let me understand how to understand life. ”
Carmen Dale Oriface //
Usually, a model's "shelf life" is short, but Carmen Dell Olifis breaks that rule. From being on the cover of Vogue magazine at the age of 15 to appearing on the runway finale of Paris Fashion Week at the age of 82, she became the oldest model on the catwalk in the world.
With a height of one meter and eight meters, slender legs, menacing blue eyes, and an angular facial contour, she has been a master and the darling of the brand for decades. Until the years left a trademark white hair on her, but added an elegance to her.
When she was a child, Carmen's family was very poor, and she and her mother were dependent on each other, worrying about rent every day. In the eyes of her mother, who is a dancer, her daughter of mixed Italian and Hungarian descent is a girl with "ears as big as two doors and a pair of coffin feet."

Unexpectedly, Carmen, who became the youngest cover girl in the American version of Vogue at the age of 15, could not only use the remuneration of being a model to pay rent to her mother, but also provide herself with private schools, secretly funding her father who had left the family from an early age. These experiences have honed her strong and determined character, making her determined to become a better version of herself in the face of adversity.
Queen Elizabeth //
After 64 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II, who has been on standby for a long time, has become an inseparable part of the British image and has become a monarch respected by the British, and the 90-year-old Elizabeth grandmother is still elegant, noble and lovely.
When she was young, she was also beautiful like a little fairy. Elizabeth was born in 1926 in the home of her grandparents in London, and as a descendant of the royal family, she was a veritable little princess.
In 1939, Elizabeth visited the Royal Naval School in Tmouth, saw the 18-year-old Philip attending the school, and fell in love with the distant cousin at first sight. In 1947, she married her husband, Prince Philip. The only person who regarded Queen Elizabeth as an ordinary person to love, she regarded as the most cherished person.
When her father died in 1952 and she was crowned in 1953, when she was only 27 years old, the young Queen Elizabeth did not expect to begin bearing the burden of a nation so early. Since then, she has strictly carried out the schedule of going to bed at 11 o'clock and getting up at 7:30 to start dealing with the affairs of the monarch, refusing to neglect for a day.
Queen Elizabeth is very good at horseback riding, and the Royal Army parade is held every June in the United Kingdom, and members of the royal family are required to ride horses. Every year at this time, she would look handsome and handsome, until 1987, when she was too old to take a carriage.
Elizabeth II loved dogs, and it is said that she has 30 corgis. Taking pictures is also a habit in her life, and she always carries a camera with her to record the picture.
During his reign, he served Britain with unmistakable elegance, dignity and dignity. Over 90 years old still maintains affinity and elegance.
Yoko Morishita //
I began to learn dance at the age of 3, and I danced for 70 years, and I still danced on the stage like a 17-year-old girl. This is the Japanese ballet dancer Yoko Morishita.
Yoko Morishita has a great talent for dancing, and at the age of 15, she completed the whole scene of "Swan Lake". And with his outstanding appearance, in that era when there was no beautiful picture and later period, it was published on the cover of many magazines, like a little fairy.
But she has never been proud of her appearance charm, but more diligent practice, seemingly small and weak, she can always shock the audience with a powerful aura every time she appears on stage. In addition to traditional ballets, in 1958, Yoko Morishita first adapted "The White-Haired Girl" into a group performance of ballet and premiered in China, which was praised by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other central leaders and Chinese people, and made great efforts under the friendly exchanges between China and Japan.

Today, Yoko Morishita still insists on practicing in the studio for 5 hours a day, and at the age of nearly 70, she can still tiptoe, her body is still beautiful, and her face has a girlish smile, as if time has not left a mark on her. When asked what the secret was, she said: "It was the practice and the support given to me by the people around me, including my lover, that created the opportunity for me to dance on stage." ”
Zhang Aijia //
Some people say that Zhang Aijia has lived a woman's life for several lifetimes.
As an actress, after winning the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award, she served as a director, and her works have been praised and timeless. At the age of 64, who should be called Grandma, she became the most beautiful Chinese woman.
Zhang Aijia, who was born in Taiwan with a golden spoon, was sent to the United States to study at the age of 11 by her mother, who had a strict tutor. But she did not follow the trajectory of her life designed for her by her elders, and after running back from the United States, she plunged into the show business circle.
After becoming famous at the age of 19, after getting the Golden Horse Film at the age of 28, he began to sing at the age of 30, a song "Childhood" was known to everyone, and he raised his pen in his 40s and won the trophy of best screenwriter. Actor, singer, screenwriter, director, producer, Zhang Aijia is a rare all-round star in the entertainment industry, whether in front of and behind the scenes, her legend has lasted for decades.
On the stage of the variety show "Readers", Zhang Aijia's elegance reveals the contemplation accumulated over the years, but the eyes still flash the spirit of a girl. A temperament that is still light and breezy after experiencing glitz and glamour makes those who see it have to admire and envy.
Liu Yan //
Liu Yan, in his early 20s, has been a famous dancer in China. He once danced "Three Friends of the Cold Years" with Yang Liping and Tan Yuanyuan at the Spring Festival Gala in 2006, and was also invited to perform the solo dance "Silk Road" at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
There are countless seconds in life, there are moments of beauty, there are moments of accidents. On July 27, 2008, she rehearsed the performance for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games as usual, but with a very small error, she fell from a 3-meter high platform and fainted on the spot. The ambulance took Liu Yan and also took away her stage under the billions of eyes around the world. High paraplegia, which is a cruel trial for an ordinary person, not to mention the "Liu Yi Leg" famous for his leg control technology.
However, the story does not end, from the stage to the podium, Liu Yan used his hands instead of his legs to study the hand movements in the dance. She still loves dancing and still wants to spread the word about beauty. In November 2009, Liu Yan danced his first dance in a wheelchair, "The Deepest Night, the Brightest Lights", from the foot to the dance of the hand, Liu Yan is still using his life to be a dancer.
As Su Qian said, the best way to love someone is to love yourself. Whether a woman is 20 or 60 years old, pursuing herself, is always the best skin care product.
