Lily, Xiao S's Daughter, Not in a Hurry to Become a Star; Responds Maturely to Those Who Dislike Her

Fashion magazine "Marie Claire Taiwan" invited Lily Hsu (Xu Shaoen) as their cover figure again this month. As the second daughter of Xiao S, Lily has been living under the spotlight since childhood and often becomes the focus whenever she makes appearances. However, Lily admitted that she is still observing whether she will truly enter the entertainment industry and mentioned that she hopes to be remembered by people as an artist.

Even though she is already presumed to be halfway in the entertainment world, Lily is still considering her decision to enter the industry: “I am not really in the entertainment circle yet, but I think it’s an amazing place. Everyone is chasing their dreams, and I love watching others work hard. It's very inspiring to me.” Being the daughter of a celebrity can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Lily was once confused as to why people who don't know her would have opinions about her: “I would ask my mom and friends, why is this happening?” Until one day, someone told her: “Because you are beautiful, hard-working, tall, and slender!” This statement suddenly made her realize that she must work even harder to not let those 'dislike Lily' emotions down.

Mentioning her similarity with her mother Xiao S, Lily said: “Our greatest similarity is our willpower!” Compared to the sharp style the audience sees in Xiao S, Lily views her mom as very confident: “Mom is confident no matter where or when. I admire this a lot, so now I also try to present myself confidently, even if it's just an act, I have to uphold that appearance.” Lily said: “Sometimes I get discussed and misunderstood, but I've learned not to be affected because I know who I am.”

Besides being confident, her mother is also Lily's strongest support. Lily revealed that Xiao S once told her: “Just be yourself, mom will always be here.” This statement has been a backbone in her journey forward, giving her more courage when facing new challenges. For example, recently she flew solo to the UK for her first solo trip. Initially nervous and uncertain, she finally took the first step with her mom’s encouragement: “At first, I was scared, but once I arrived, I realized how big the world truly is with so many places worth exploring.”
