On August 22, Sina reported that Zhou Xun attended a commercial event for the brand she represents. The star of “Painted Skin” captivated both the media and the audience with her youthful appearance and perfectly slender figure at the age of 50.
On Weibo, the hashtag “Zhou Xun 50 is the most charming age” garnered up to 70 million interactions. Many fans left comments praising the actress’s stunning looks and admiring her remarkable ability to maintain her physique. According to Sina, what sets Zhou Xun apart is her enduring youthful aura, a “muse-like” quality that has remained unchanged over the years. “Looking at Zhou Xun, the public sees the wisdom of years gone by, yet also a lightness and youthful spirit, as if her soul remains in the 20s or 30s,” Sina remarked.
At 50, Zhou Xun continues to be active in the entertainment industry, regularly starring in films, participating in variety shows, and doing fashion photoshoots. Recently, Zhou Xun won the Best Actress Award at the Magnolia Awards for her performance in “Imperfect Victim.” Additionally, she has consistently garnered accolades for her acting, reaffirming her status as a three-time Best Actress winner of China’s prestigious film awards.

Some of her most notable works include “Suzhou River,” “Like Rain, Like Wind, Like Mist,” “The Legend of the Condor Heroes,” “The Banquet,” “Painted Skin,” “Li Mi Conjecture,” and “Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace.”
Zhou Xun’s acting is often praised as the most profound among the Four Dan Actresses of the 1970s. Both the media and the public have given her various titles such as “Acting Genius,” “The Muse of Chinese Cinema,” and “The Muse of Muses.” She is the first Chinese actress in history to win the “Triple Best Actress” awards with the films “Perhaps Love” and “The Equation of Love and Death.” Zhou Xun has also won two out of three Best Actress Awards (known as TV Empresses) of China’s “Three Major Television Awards”—the Magnolia Award and the Golden Eagle Award (the third is the Flying Apsaras Award, for which she has one nomination).
