Sixty-year-old Hong Kong actress Xue Li, known for her role as Li Mochou in the TV adaptation of “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” has taken a step back into the spotlight by opening a Xiaohongshu account under the handle “Xue Li Li Mochou.” This move comes as she reminisces about her past fame during the ’80s and ’90s when she was celebrated as the “most beautiful Li Mochou” and a household name in the industry.
Despite her illustrious career, Xue Li’s personal life has been tumultuous, marked by headlines reporting her involvement in the marriage of the late actor Xu Shaoqiang, with whom she shares two children—events that overshadowed her promising future at the time.
In her recent posts on Xiaohongshu, Xue Li shared four updates featuring photos from her youth and a candid clip of her current self. With her short hair and casual T-shirt, she greeted her fans, asking, “Do you still remember the real Xue Li Li Mochou?” However, her unfiltered appearance elicited mixed reactions online, with some commenters noting her yellowed skin and teeth, leading to comments like, “Auntie clearly looks like a heavy smoker,” and “Please, for the love of beauty, get your teeth whitened!” Yet amidst the critiques, others defended her, acknowledging that at nearly 60, a touch of makeup might restore her youthful allure.
Xue Li’s journey reminds us that time leaves its mark, but the nostalgia of her iconic character still resonates with fans.
