At the age of 14, she made her debut and people regarded her as a dream angel. In her 20s, people remembered her for the mixture of innocence and sexiness. In her 30s, she was still beautiful, with a look of purity and determination in her eyes. Article Source: Healthy Women Sexy, cute, pretty, strong, filial, smart, independent, individuality... These qualities, Vivian Hsu possesses them all. Men like her because her combination of sexiness and innocence is unforgettable. Women admire her for her strength and independence, as well as her maintained health and beauty. As her fans say, her good looks have never been a reason for her to slack off; she always has more fighting spirit than anyone else. At every stage of life, she has her own story. Time only makes her more mature, while her beauty, health, and confidence turn her into an ageless and invincible angel. Singing, acting, supporting her family, and charity work, Vivian's life is full and energetic, reminding people of a song she sang ten years ago: "Columbus said the Earth is round. Find a direction and keep walking, if you have enough confidence, one day you will meet the love of your life." Man She says she is a man: "I am a man, it's fine!" Of course, no one would consider Vivian Hsu a man, except for herself. Since she was very young, Vivian had secretly decided: "I think I should be like my father, a man who helps everyone in the family and takes on the responsibility of the family." Her love for her family drives her to give her all. So at the age of 14, she debuted and worked hard to take care of her mother, siblings, and the entire family. Earlier this year, her younger brother finally got married, and Vivian perfectly fulfilled her responsibilities as an elder sister. In June, when her father was critically ill, Vivian put aside her work and took care of her father in the hospital for over a month. She said, "Because I thought it might be the last part of his life, I must be by his side." Luckily, her father recovered from danger. Recently, her grandmother passed away, and she tearfully told her friends, "Family bonds are very important, and any opportunity to be with your family should be cherished." She spent her happy childhood at her grandmother's house, which was destroyed in the 921 earthquake. Later, she rebuilt a warm little house for her grandmother. To this day, she still lives with her mother and sister and treats her sister's child as her own. In her blog, she once wrote: "From the age of 14 entering the entertainment industry until now, I have always been the economic pillar of my family. It's almost 20 years already. Although I am not the best, I have never stopped striving." Outside of family, she remains independent and self-reliant in her career. Since choosing to develop independently in Japan during her teenage years, she has shouldered all ups and downs. In the recently released movie "Young Star Sea," during filming, Vivian endured hardships, shooting in cold river water and freezing her whole body blue, but she just shook her head and said, "I'm a man, it's fine!" Never expecting any luck, what Vivian has today comes entirely from her own efforts. Being responsible for herself and her family is Vivian's attitude towards life. Mother She says she wants to be a mother: "I want to be a mother too, in the future I will have children. A woman should have this experience in her lifetime." When Vivian first entered the entertainment industry, she was the most vibrant hibiscus. People associate her with the color pink. Now that she has matured, she longs to become a mother. Vivian recalls that when she was young, her mother strictly taught her that if she made a mistake, she must kneel in punishment in the bathroom. "This is also a form of love. It trained me to know from a young age that life must be taken seriously and responsibly." Her own strength comes from her mother's example. "Is work tiring? Not really. My mother raised us with great difficulty from a young age, so I am used to it. Instead, I feel that even though work can be tough, it is also very fulfilling." For Vivian, family ties are much stronger than romantic relationships. She has been rumored to have relationships with many male stars, but she gently denies them without getting angry. Her relationship with Nicky Wu ended due to objections from his family, but she understands now: "If mom doesn't agree, it would probably be hard to be together." She says that the kind of boy she likes should be responsible, suitable in personality, and it's not easy to spend a lifetime together. She hopes to find someone who can protect her and be devoted to her for life. This reminds people of the unwed mother role she played in "If You Are the One," seeking a man who can take on responsibility. The old saying "love is not everything in life" is very convincing when it comes to Vivian. Volunteer She says she is a volunteer: "Often I see comments saying, 'Vivian, which dress did you wear at which concert? I really like it and hope to get it. Can you sell it?' Actually, I would like to keep it myself because it has commemorative value. But seeing such comments, it's really hard to refuse. Anyway, it's all for charity, so I reluctantly decided to sell it." Of course, every star participates in charity activities. However, few stars personally run a second-hand clothing charity store like Vivian does and have persisted for over five years. The charity store has been operating for five years, selling over ten thousand items of clothing. The Red Cross Society, the Dr. Luo Craniofacial Foundation, cancer patients, the International Association of Women recognizing indigenous children's nutrition lunch program, scholarships, elementary school baseball team uniforms, the Social Welfare Foundation for people with intellectual disabilities, liver disease prevention foundation... Many people have received more care because of Vivian. Even the operation of the website, Vivian tries to do as much as possible herself, organizing, signing, photographing, contacting other artists, all done by hand, aiming to save expenses and use more funds for charity. Boxer She says she likes boxing: "Not just following the coach's gestures, but actually sparring on the boxing ring. This allows you to focus, trains your calmness, and speed. I like that feeling." She was always an athletic champion since she was young, with a small body containing enormous energy. She practiced long-distance running when she was young, and many sports came naturally to her. To this day, Vivian still maintains doing sit-ups every day, both to maintain her figure and healthy habits. Tennis, table tennis, swimming, boxing are all included in her daily exercise routine. Although she basically eats only one meal a day, Vivian still has a deep understanding of healthy living, from the importance of breakfast to how Chinese medicine benefits women's health, she can talk about them enthusiastically. When asked about how to maintain her appearance, Vivian emphasized, "Make sure you stay hydrated!" Q&A Q=Healthy Women, A=Vivian Hsu Q: Among the compliments "beautiful", "sexy", "smart", "individualistic", which one do you accept the most? A: Actually, they're all fine, doesn't matter. What others think of you, to me, is not as important as what I think of myself. I've been in the industry for almost 20 years, and I have a clear understanding of myself. Q: What do you think is the most beautiful part of yourself? A: Haha, none specifically. I believe that if you have confidence in yourself, then you will be very beautiful. Q: At what age did you realize that you have grown up and need to take full responsibility for your life? A: At 14, when I received my first paycheck, I cried tears of joy. I felt there was no man in the family, so I had to step up and be the man, the father, helping everyone in the family. That's when I started taking responsibility for my life. Q: What is the most common complaint others have about you? A: Talking too much. I tend to nag a lot, seeing situations or how things are handled, I'll comment on them. Sometimes it can be annoying, haha! Q: What makes you anxious? Your career? Relationships? Or maybe a cockroach? A: Accepting yourself is very important. Until now, you may still get nervous, but you won't be overly anxious. For instance, singing on stage, you may get nervous, but not to the extent where the pressure is overwhelming. Now, I still find work nerve-wracking, there's always so much to do! Q: Since you were the family's mainstay from a young age, how do you relieve stress? Has your approach changed over the years? A: Stress can actually be a source of happiness, for example, financial stress, you'll find a way to improve your situation. If the stress is too much, you let yourself relax, like watching a movie, going to a sunny beach, these are all good ways. Q: In your new film "Young Star Sea," you play a mother role, and previously in "If You Are the One," you also played an unwed mother. You mentioned that these roles make you particularly eager to become a mother. Do you feel ready to marry and have children now? A: Actually, no preparation is needed. When you meet the right person, everything naturally falls into place. I prefer that after meeting the right person, we prepare together. Meeting someone with the same mindset who can stick together is very rare. Q: Do you think that in this era, women being too independent can cause troubles in their emotional lives? A: Why would it? Not being independent causes more problems. Q: You have been dedicated to charity, from your second-hand clothing sales to various public welfare activities. What belief supports this behavior? Is there a type of public welfare work you prefer? A: For example, last year was truly full of disasters. I have always been grateful for our safety, so besides working hard on myself, I also hope that everyone remembers to care for those who are still suffering. Everyone should contribute according to their ability, and society will become warmer because of our efforts. I pay more attention to projects related to diseases and children.
