Celebrity Annie Yi has received compliments for her 'ageless' appearance, but she believes that at 58, she doesn't need to be praised for "looking as young as a girl." Age, to her, is nothing to be embarrassed about. She hopes everyone can live true to themselves, reject comparisons of appearance among women, and also refuse any content that objectifies women.
"Seriously, let's stop competing among women," Annie Yi wrote on Weibo on the 26th. She shared that after every event she attends, she always sees various comments comparing women, as if a woman's looks and age are the only things worth discussing. But she believes that capability and experience are equally worthy of being noticed, beyond just appearance.
"I love beauty too, and I also had the romantic feelings of girlhood. Sometimes I dress 'youthfully,' but that's just one facet of who I am. Inside, I've journeyed through countless mountains and rivers." Annie Yi said that after 40 years in showbiz, it's impossible to be in great condition every day, and that's not something that needs to be concealed. "We get tired, we age, we all have off days, but we still keep moving forward."
Annie Yi urges women not to get involved in attacking each other, "You should stand up and say: we're all beautiful. Because every form of life is irreplaceable." She feels that at 58, she doesn't need to be praised for looking as young as a girl. She will take good care of herself out of her love for beauty, and hopes that when she takes her daughter out, she can be a shining mom. "But my radiance isn't to compete with anyone—it's just because I love myself."

She also wrote: "There's nothing shameful about being 58. We will all age, we will all have faces full of wrinkles. But our lives have once shone brilliantly—something that no one can surpass or take away." Annie Yi hopes everyone will reject any content that objectifies women. "Let the efforts of our generation of women become the confidence of the next generation, so that women can live as their true selves, not just as a standardized template."
