According to 163, Wang, 55, has embraced single life for many years. She has been married twice and is a single mother to her 21-year-old son. Over the course of 19 years as a single mother, she chose to focus on raising her child, turning down multiple romantic advances.

Now that her son is grown, Wang has expressed that romantic relationships are no longer a priority. She finds fulfillment in watching her son mature, remain healthy, and begin his own journey in life. As he establishes his own career and personal life, Wang is focused on supporting him through this new phase.

In addition to her dedication to her family, Wang has made self-care a priority. In an interview with ETToday, she shared her balanced lifestyle, which includes one and a half hours of daily physical activity. Wang has enjoyed dancing for 18 years and participates in amateur dance competitions. She also regularly visits the gym for strength training to improve muscle mass and endurance.

Wang emphasized that exercise not only enhances her physical appearance but also significantly contributes to her mental well-being. She follows a healthy diet, prioritizing vegetables, mushrooms, and foods that reduce excess fat and promote collagen production.

According to local media, Wang captured attention at a fashion show in Shanghai last month, where she walked the runway in a short dress and sneakers. A video of her catwalk went viral, garnering millions of views, with many fans admiring how little she has changed since her iconic role Wang Xue Qin in "Romance in the Rain" back in 2001.

"Time has been kind to her," one social media user commented.

"I used to call her Aunt Xue, now she has to call me Aunt," another said.

The nickname "Aunt Xue" has followed her ever since her role in the drama, which cemented her status as a beloved actress in Chinese television.

Last year, Wang participated in the reality show "Sisters Who Make Waves," which features female celebrities over 30. As the oldest contestant of the season, she humorously referred to herself as the "old lady fighting the wind." However, she surprised both her fellow contestants and viewers with her impressive energy and performance in singing and dancing.

In recent years, Wang has continued her acting career, appearing in drama series like "The Happy Seven in Chang’an," "Blossoms in Dream," and "Desert Whispers." She has also participated in various reality shows.

Wang graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy. She began her acting career in 1993 and quickly became a promising figure in the entertainment industry.
