Wang Siyi, the “most beautiful Pan Jinlian” who has not been seen for a long time, has also joined the army of live streaming. She is over 50 years old and has lost the stunning beauty of her youth, but has gained a more intellectual beauty.

　　

Although the character Pan Jinlian she played is a beautiful vase with only good looks, Wang Siyi loves what she does no matter what industry she is in, from an actor to a live-streaming host.

　　

When she played Pan Jinlian, she went from being timid and unconfident to becoming a version of Pan Jinlian that no one has surpassed to this day. Wang Siyi always has a tenacity in her.

　　

Born into a literary and artistic family, Wang Siyi has shown extraordinary artistic talent since childhood. Whether it is dance, musical instruments, or Chinese painting, as long as Wang Siyi learns, her grades are excellent.

　　

Under the guidance of her mother, Wang Siyi, who wanted to further develop in the field of dance, was injured in an accident, which ruined her dancing career. Wang Siyi, who switched to the modeling industry, was soon invited to join the film and television industry with her beautiful figure and outstanding appearance.

At the age of 23, she made her debut in “The Legend of Liu Bowen”. Her superb acting talent won her the praise of many directors, including Wang Wensheng, the director of “Mulan”, who was very optimistic about Wang Siyi’s future.

　　

In 1995, the crew of the 1998 version of “Water Margin” was looking for a suitable candidate for the role of Pan Jinlian. Wang Wensheng immediately recommended Wang Siyi to the crew. At that time, Wang Siyi was not well-known in the mainland. Although the director of “Water Margin” thought her appearance was suitable for the role of Pan Jinlian, he did not know her acting skills, so he said, “If you can’t act well, change someone else.”

　　

In order to fit the role, Wang Siyi, who was under great pressure, joined the crew a month in advance and experienced the character’s life immersively. She practiced cooking, dressing and other daily details with Song Wenhua, who played Wu Dalang, and observed the lifestyle of those fierce heroes.

　　

Before filming started, Wang Siyi’s job in the crew was to constantly figure out the character and learn cooking and other life skills from the actresses. The steamed buns she made also became the staple food in the crew’s canteen.

　　

Finally, Wang Siyi used her superb acting skills to portray a gentle yet charming Pan Jinlian who makes people love and hate her.

　　

“Pan Jinlian” brought Wang Siyi fame in the entertainment industry and also brought her acting career to its peak. Since then, she has continued to produce film and television works, but none of them have reached the peak of her success as “Pan Jinlian”.

　　

While she was successful in her career, Wang Siyi met her other half. The two decided to join hands and start a new stage in their lives. Unfortunately, this marriage was not favored by her husband’s family since before the marriage. In particular, Wang Siyi’s mother-in-law stubbornly had a prejudice against Wang Siyi, always thinking that someone who could play Pan Jinlian well would definitely not be a good wife and mother.

　　

After marriage, Wang Siyi had frequent quarrels with her husband’s family. The arguments over who was right and who was wrong made Wang Siyi physically and mentally exhausted, and finally ended in a hasty divorce.

　　

After reaching middle age, Wang Siyi began to realize that she could not find the meaning of life by relying solely on her career, so she devoted herself to public welfare and charity, regularly donating to public welfare projects such as education and environmental protection.

　　

When the trend of live streaming sales emerged, Wang Siyi also opened a personal account to do live streaming. From actor to anchor, this is the transformation path of many actors in the entertainment industry today.

But Wang Siyi is a little different from them. She became a host with the goal of “doing it well”.

　　

Her live broadcast room mainly sells tea. In order to truly trace the source of tea, on March 28, 2024, she personally went to Fuding, the origin of white tea, to participate in the White Tea Festival.

She talked about tea in the live broadcast room. She was not just reciting a script skillfully, but she really understood tea. Some netizens jokingly praised her as a “tea encyclopedia.”

　　

Fans like to enter her live broadcast room and listen to her talk about the interesting things that happened in the crew when she was filming “Water Margin” and the subsequent development of these heroes, while listening to her introduce tea. It’s like entering a teahouse, tasting tea and listening to stories.

　　

Wang Siyi’s live streaming sales give people the feeling that there is no obvious utilitarianism, unlike those top streamers who talk nonsense all the time in order to sell goods.

　　

This is the charm of Wang Siyi, and it is also something worth learning for young people.
