Carmen Lee, who played Little Dragon Girl in Andy Lau's version of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes', is still passionate about fitness at 59 years old. She shares workouts step by step on Xiaohongshu to teach everyone how to exercise. However, netizens focused on something else: noticing that perhaps due to her thinness, the veins in her neck and arms were protruding, causing concern and prompting advice for her to eat more.
Upon seeing fans' reactions, Carmen responded positively, saying, 'To some people, my 'scary neck' isn't covered with wrinkles, but with veins. But like wrinkles, they're my trophies—trophies from years of lifting weights.' She said some fans think she's too thin and remind her that it doesn't look good. This isn't a deliberate result she's chasing. She feels that even if she were to gain some weight, people would still say 'not good looking', 'why did you gain weight', or 'not maintaining your figure', so she's not concerned about what others say.
She said that she's almost 60 now and will naturally age, but thanks to fitness and self-care, she can face time more calmly. Compared to whether her veins are visible or not, she cares more about having a healthy body. Compared to looking good or not, she cares more about living happily and boldly. Whether or not netizens like this version of her, she wishes everyone peace, health, and a joyful life.
