Shooting recently concluded for the urban-love TV drama "Blossoming of Beautiful Flowers". The production features the performance of Xu Qing. In the story, she plays a woman named Ye Guo, who gives up her own love, for the fulfillment of her younger sister and husband.
"Blossoming of Beautiful Flowers" was produced by Mr. Gao Xixi, who has been behind many hit TV series. Among them are Flower-like Happiness, Romance of Three Kingdoms, The Snipers, and The Sky of History. Leading the cast are Xu Qing and Shao Feng. The title comes from the lyrics of a popular 1980's classic.
When commenting on the tragic end of her role in the drama, Xu Qing says departure might be the best choice for her role. The reason is she is too kind to hurt the feelings of anybody but herself. The production is Xu Qing's first small-screen role since joining the entertainment firm, Huayi Brothers last December.
Among actresses on the Chinese mainland, Xu Qing is known for both her looks and her acting skills. An A-list star, she became popular in the early 1990's.
To persuade Xu Qing to sign, Huayi Brothers set up a special team of agents and promised their best roles to her. Xu Qing expressed her gratitude and says she's expecting a new start to her career.
Xu Qing was born January 22, 1969 in Beijing. In 1988, she entered the Beijing Film Institute to train in acting.
Early on, she collaborated with such big name directors like Chen Kaige and Ling Zifeng. She gained recognition in the TV drama "Close to Forbidden City".
In 1992, she was invited to appear in the TV series "Tolerance" in Singapore, which helped her garner fame throughout Southeast Asia.
Returning to China, she appeared in a string of hit TV shows, including "Rain and Shine", "Eulogy of Qin Empire", "Coming and Going", and "The Pledge".
In 2001, she renewed her career with her performance of the lead role in the TV drama "Xiao Ao Jiang Hu". That followed a string of work including "Empire of Qing" and "Sha Jia Bang". In the recent blockbuster "The Founding of the Republic", she played Madame Sun.
In addition to her impressive acting skills, Xu Qing is admired for being easygoing and for her philosophy. It seems her charm has grown with time.
