Zhao Liying: A Celebrated Talent

Zhao Liying, a highly regarded Chinese actress, has proven that talent knows no bounds, regardless of physical appearance. Recently, she displayed her exceptional acting skills by winning the ‘Best Actress’ award at the 32nd Golden Eagle Awards for her captivating role in the hit drama ‘Wild Bloom.’ This prestigious recognition marks Zhao Liying’s second crowning as a ‘television queen’ at the Golden Eagle Awards, having previously clinched the ‘Best Actress’ title in 2016 for her role in ‘The Journey of Flower.’

Rising Above Challenges

In an industry often swayed by superficial standards, Zhao’s journey reflects resilience. As she mentioned during the awards ceremony, her career was initially hindered by the perception surrounding her round face shape. Once relegated to supporting roles, she made a personal promise to herself to seize any opportunity that came her way. Zhao Liying stated, “If I catch my chance, I’ll grab it like my life depends on it,” highlighting her determination and passion for her craft.

A Year of Success

The year 2023 has indeed been monumental for Zhao Liying, with multiple accolades illuminating her career. In addition to her Golden Eagle wins, she was honored with the Feitian ‘Best Actress’ award for ‘Wild Bloom.’ Remarkably, she is now only missing the Magnolia Award—one of China’s three major acting awards for television—while she has previously been nominated multiple times. Furthermore, this year, she also received the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ award for her role in ‘Article 20’ at the 2024 Hundred Flowers Awards, solidifying her position as one of the most talented actresses in the industry.
