Though veteran Taiwanese actress Lin Ching Hsia has made few appearances since retiring in the early ‘90s, the icon turned up for the recent 60th Golden Horse Awards on Saturday (Nov 25) where she was presented with the Lifestyle Achievement Award for her illustrious body of work.

However, the talk of the town was how the 69-year-old partied till the wee hours of the morning for two consecutive days. Even more impressive was how she still looked fresh-faced after all that, while her exhausted friends laid down in defeat.

Husband and Hong Kong billionaire Michael Ying even wrote online that Dongfang Bubai (referring to her iconic character in Swordsman II) rules supreme again.

“Everyone was already exhausted and had gone from single to double and triple eyelids, and yet, she simply changed into flats and continued partying…” he added.

At this point, we need someone to tell us why we still try to clock seven to eight hours of sleep to look somewhat alive in the morning?

It seems this might not be a one-time occurrence for the star, who shared that she does not adhere to the typical norms of health and skincare.

In an interview on the red carpet, Ching Hsia joked that she “sleeps and gets up late,” though later clarified that it was a terrible example.

Netizens took to the Internet complimenting Ching Hsia saying she was “invincible then and now” and “who today can compare with the legends of that era.”
