Besides my mother, several award-winning actors were invited to the event. The host invited those present to the stage for a group interview.
As I watched them come on stage, one of them, Xia Siyu recognized, not from any movie or TV show, but because my mother had mentioned her as a rival she had competed with for years until my mother left the industry.
During the interview, the senior actress suddenly remarked, "Actually, Qunxiao had more spiritual energy. But she has a daughter and a disciple, so it could be considered a legacy."
This remark wasn't part of the script; she added it herself. This senior is over sixty now, later became a professor at the film academy, and hasn't acted much in recent years, but holds a respected position. Her sudden mention drew some sighs from the audience.
The daughter is Xia Siyu, and the disciple, although Shang Feifei was not formally apprenticed to Wen Qunxiao, she considered herself her disciple.
