Sun Li's Status Remains Unshakable, Wins Fourth Best Actress with 'A Pretty Good Life'

43-year-old Chinese actress Sun Li reached the peak of her career with 'Empresses in the Palace (Zhen Huan Zhuan)', and her popularity has not waned since. On the 9th, she won the Best Actress honor at SMG (Shanghai Media Group) for 'A Pretty Good Life', marking her fourth time taking home the award. The Best Actor went to 34-year-old Xiao Zhan for 'Legend of Canghai', making him the youngest recipient of the award. Coincidentally, both the Emperor and Empress-winning works were directed by Zheng Xiaolong.

Sun Li is not only known for her role as Huanhuan. Since 2017, she has successively received recognition from the SMG Quality Drama Awards for her performances in 'The Legend of Mi Yue', 'Nothing Gold Can Stay', and 'I Will Find You a Better Home'. At the age of 36, she won the Feitian, Golden Eagle, and Magnolia Awards, becoming the first Grand Slam TV Queen among actresses born after 1980. In 'A Pretty Good Life', she played insurance agent Hu Manli with great nuance, with her performance hailed as textbook level.

Upon receiving her award, Sun Li especially thanked director Zheng Xiaolong, calling him a 'double benefactor in both her life and career', as he not only facilitated her meeting her husband Deng Chao, but 'Empresses in the Palace' also became the milestone of her career.
