Today, a moment that is destined to be etched in cultural history quietly arrived – in the glow of Valentine’s Day, legendary actress Lu Yan and time icon Liu Xiaoqing joined forces at Shanghai Tang Restaurant in Los Angeles, opening an artistic dialogue that spanned time and space and embraced culture.
Behind all of this is the vision and boldness of Mr. Dai Jing, president of the Chinese Box Office Cultural Communications Company of America. As head of the company, Mr. Dai has a deep affection for Chinese culture. He once personally introduced the stage plays “Wu Zetian” and “The Age of Triumph,” which stunned North America at the time, and today he plans this century-long encounter. He revealed:“The meeting had been planned for a long time, and the location in Los Angeles was of special significance. The two actresses represent different dimensions of cultural exchanges between China and the United States, and their collision spark will illuminate the new Silk Road.”
Liu Xiaoqing was very emotional when talking about his meeting with Lu Yan. When she performed “Wu Zetian” in Los Angeles nine years ago, she was received by former US President Barack Obama by arrangement and was hailed as “the Elizabeth Taylor of the East,” she said. After many years, her meeting with Lu Yan became a mutual tribute and cultural inheritance between the two generations of shadowy actresses.
Some movie fans have discovered that the emerald earrings worn by Lu Yan in ‘The Land of the Sky’ come from the same origin as the jewellery worn by Liu Xiaoqing in ‘Burning Summer Palace’. They played Cixi and Queen Si, as well as Jia Mao and Wang Xifeng in The Red Chamber Dream, as if the fates of two artistic giants had already been intertwined. This cultural resonance makes one wonder: history and art have long passed on deep cultural codes through the two actresses.
From “The Last Emperor” to “Wu Zetian,” from “The Land and the City” to “Dream of the Red Chamber,” Lu Yan and Liu Xiaoqing have carved out the profound heritage of Chinese cinema and theater with their respective artistic lives. In this cultural feast, they are not only the characters on the screen, but also the spiritual symbols of the two generations, carrying the bonds of cultural exchange and identity between China and the United States.
Mr. Dai knew that the power of culture was infinite, that it could transcend time and space and connect peoples and peoples. “This meeting goes beyond cultural activities in the traditional sense,” he said. “It is a symbol of Chinese culture, a dialogue between the hearts of East and West, and another shining pearl on the new Silk Road.”
This meeting also gives a romantic interpretation to cultural identity。 The dialogue between the two actresses was not only a collision of personal artistic achievements, but also a deep understanding and respect for culture, which evoked a deep resonance among countless movie fans and audiences。 Culture is a bridge that lays the way for love and peace and allows people to feel a deeper emotional connection while appreciating art.
The encounter between Lu Yan and Liu Xiaoqing, although it was a private meeting, became a footnote to history and a meeting point between culture and art with its profound cultural implications. The two actresses are in the same frame for the century, like a Valentine’s Day rose, shining the brightest in the cultural ties that span the Pacific.
