What defines true female strength? For Li Yunxiao, a rising star in Yue Opera, it’s all about what’s inside. “When we think about female strength, it shouldn’t be restricted by the roles women play in their life. It’s rather about inner growth, inner peace, and inner strength,” she says.
Li has graced the stage with performances of many classic female characters, bringing depth and nuance to each role. But she believes that strength isn’t about the characters she portrays, but the journey within. “Each character teaches me something new about resilience and self-discovery,” she reflects.
Growing up in China, Li was captivated by the rich traditions of Yue Opera, where women often play both male and female roles. This unique aspect of the art form has influenced her perspective on gender and strength. “It shows that strength isn’t confined to gender or societal roles. It’s universal,” Li explains.
For young people around the world, Li’s message is clear: true strength comes from embracing who you are and striving for inner harmony. “We all face challenges, but it’s how we grow from them that defines us,” she encourages.
As she continues to captivate audiences with her performances, Li Yunxiao is not just an actress but a symbol of inner strength and empowerment.
