Actress Chen Hao appears in the latest edition of the fashion magazine Hotspot that hits newsstands March 5.
Her latest TV sitcom, "Zhi Zui Jin Mi", or "Wanton and Luxurious Living", has been enjoying high audience ratings in its primetime slot.
Set against the backdrop of the anti-Japanese sentiment following the war, the story tells of a beautiful, young woman named Tian Peizhi (Chen Hao) who lost her faith amid the turbulence and gradually saw her own life go rolling out from under her.
Chen Hao's role in the hit sitcom has her under the spotlight once again.
On the definition of feminine beauty and youth:
C: Beauty and youth is the unique capital of women, but also the hurdle that blocks people's proper judgment. Pretty girls may count on beauty to give them advantages, but will learn that the sense of privilege built on their looks is never reliable. So, never count yourself among the beautiful and always do what you should do."
On desires and expectations:
C: Tian Peizhi once admired jewelry-adorned rich women, only to find out that ultimate happiness comes from nothing but simplicity after the turmoil she had experienced. However, people nowadays usually find it hard to be content.
On knowing her boundaries:
C: One should at least know where the boundaries are. Give up when the goal is too high to reach, and stick to one if it is within your ability. I would never risk my health for anything. I never sign up for two plays at the same time, nor would I shoot films non-stop. I must have time to rest.
On not missing out on the best times in life:
C: An actor will be acting throughout his or her life, with different roles in different stages. Meryl Streep continued her acting career and still gets Oscar nominations due to her outstanding talent. Many people are overworking themselves, but work is endless.
On luck:
C: I am lucky. I made a name for myself on the TV sitcom "Fen Hong Nv Lang", or "Pink Ladies". I don't have to act for a living. I choose plays out of interest.
On fate and opportunity:
C: Fate goes however it must. What I can do is get things done well. If you let others know in the meantime what you have done, then chances may come to you.
