The 'Emperor Specialist' Chen Daoming's Recent Life at 70 Revealed – Full Head of Silver Hair Earns Online Praise: A Textbook Example of Aging Gracefully

70-year-old veteran Chinese actor Chen Daoming rose to fame with the TV drama 'Kangxi Dynasty', and has since portrayed a number of historical emperors, earning the title of 'emperor specialist'. In recent years, he once again showcased his superb acting skills in 'Joy of Life'. Recently, he appeared on CCTV for an interview with a head of silvery white hair, which sparked exclamations like 'sudden aging', while others praised, 'a Bentley is still a Bentley even when it's old.'

Chen Daoming's silver hair look ignited heated discussions. He maintained a very calm attitude, viewing his hair as a mark of time and saying he wouldn’t specifically dye it. He stated plainly that this was an 'acceptance of the laws of nature'. Compared to today's trend of pursuing agelessness and anti-aging, his stance has been praised as 'a textbook on aging gracefully'. Many netizens also commented that white hair made him look even more imperial, 'he’s still very handsome', 'some people decline with age, but he grows more refined', and 'although his hair is white, he’s in great spirits'.

Compared to appearances, Chen Daoming values an actor’s professional competence more. In an interview, he once said: 'For an actor, the face is the least important thing. What truly matters is what you possess behind that face.'
