Hanoi [Vietnam], April 9: At 38, Liu Yifei is attracting attention as new photos and candid moments captured by paparazzi are widely circulated. Gone is the innocent, fragile look of her youth; the actress now exudes calmness and serenity.
Since publicly separating from Song Seung Hun in 2018, Liu Yifei has maintained a single life, not rushing into anything or making hasty choices. Her lifestyle has earned her admiration from many, making her a captivating "strong woman" role model, Sohu reported on April 8.
In the past, the romance between Liu Yifei and South Korean actor Song Seung Hun caused a sensation. The two met while working together on the film Third Way of Love in 2015. One was a "fairy goddess" of Chinese cinema, the other a first-generation heartthrob of the Korean Wave. Despite an 11-year age difference, the couple received many blessings. At the time, Song Seung Hun openly shared that their relationship was built with the goal of marriage, and he showed his care by spending time with his girlfriend's family.
A high-profile romance and a civilized breakup.
However, this highly anticipated relationship only lasted three years before ending in January 2018. Both sides announced their separation, citing busy schedules and lack of time together. Without fanfare or arguments, they chose to end the relationship amicably and discreetly. Looking back, the underlying reasons stemmed not only from geographical distance but also from differences in life goals. While Song Seung Hun desired a stable family life, Liu Yifei prioritized personal and career development. Furthermore, cultural differences and language barriers also contributed to the cooling of their relationship.
After their breakup, Song Seung Hun expressed regret when mentioning his ex-girlfriend, saying she was too perfect, making him feel inferior. In contrast, Liu Yifei maintained a private attitude, rarely mentioning the past and always quickly shifting the focus back to her work and personal life.
A thriving career, but a private life kept secret.
After eight years, Liu Yifei has completely freed herself from emotional constraints, focusing on building an independent and stable image. Recently, she has consistently made her mark at international fashion events. At Paris Fashion Week, the actress impressed with her appearance in Louis Vuitton, while in Milan, she shone at a Bulgari event with her elegant demeanor, earning praise from both domestic and international media.
Not only has she achieved success in the fashion industry, but her acting career has also made significant progress. In recent years, Liu Yifei has chosen a slow but steady approach, participating in projects such as " Dream of the Green Flower , " "Going to Where the Wind Blows ," and "The Story of the Rose ." Thanks to her increasingly refined acting, she has gradually shed her "fairy goddess" image to become a truly talented actress, even receiving nominations for Best Actress at prestigious awards.
