As reported by 163, captured by paparazzi while enjoying coffee with a friend at an outdoor café in Italy, Liu Xiaoli sported light makeup, a blue sweater, and a simple silk scarf.
Many Weibo users have expressed admiration for her enduring presence. A flight attendant who once met her on a plane shared: "She has a gentle demeanor and a traditional style, and appears much younger than her age."
Sohu reports that Liu Xiaoli, formerly a distinguished national dancer, has not been active in the entertainment industry, instead dedicating her efforts to supporting her daughter’s acting career and maintaining a low-profile private life.
"Thank you, Mom, for taking care of me for 18 years, and for all the valuable experiences and lessons," Liu Yifei noted in a previous interview. "I hope we continue to be the best companions."
Liu Yifei, 37, rose to fame after her television debut in 2003 with "The Story of a Noble Family." She moved into films in 2008 and has since made a significant mark in both Chinese and Hollywood cinema.
She was named one of the New Four Dan actresses in 2009, a term denoting the successors to China’s four most bankable actresses.
Her latest TV series "The Tale of Rose," which premiered on China Central Television (CCTV) on June 8, has been receiving significant public attention.
