The large-scale cultural program 《宗师列传•大宋词人传》- “Master Legends: Poets of the Song Dynasty” has revealed the casting for three stages of Li Qingzhao’s life: Amy portrays her youth, Wan Qian plays her middle years, and Tao Huimin represents her in old age. Each actress aligns remarkably well with the temperament and emotional depth of Li Qingzhao at her respective life stage.
Amy captures the youthful Li Qingzhao’s bright, spirited talent; Wan Qian brings depth to her resilient and unyielding middle years shaped by turmoil and loss; while Tao Huimin presents a serene, enlightened Li Qingzhao in her later life.
Through layered and sensitive performances, the three actresses transform the legendary poet—often distant in historical records—into a vivid, emotionally resonant figure. The program succeeds in making traditional culture feel alive and relevant in the modern era, breathing new life into the legacy of China’s greatest female poet.
