Chinese actress Li Xiaolu won the Golden Horse Best Actress award in 1998 with the film "Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl," and her career was at its peak. However, in 2017, she was exposed for having an affair, which led to her downfall. Recently, she shared updates about her life, revealing that she really has no acting offers and hopes for reasonable work opportunities.
Li Xiaolu won the Golden Horse Best Actress award at just 17. She knew her youth had been smooth sailing, and following that, acting offers came one after another, allowing her to choose whatever scripts she wanted. She realized that at that time, all she needed to do was focus on work and shoot films diligently. However, she admitted she was someone ruled by love, thinking that for women, having love was more important than money, career, or the whole world.
Looking back, her agent once told her: "Xiaolu, you make me so angry. You are simply the least money-loving woman I have ever met. You're way too focused on love!" But at the time, Li Xiaolu simply couldn't listen. Now, wanting to work but not receiving any job offers, she exclaimed, "I'm so unlucky, so unlucky." No one is offering her commercial events, TV dramas, or films—none at all.
Lacking confidence, Li Xiaolu no longer dares to look up to the shining entertainment industry. She admits she's been at a low point for too long and feels embarrassed even when meeting old friends from those days. She said the only light she has left is to illuminate her daughter, and to warm herself during sleepless, dark nights. She hopes that, in the second half of her life, she can obtain reasonable work opportunities.
