[TRANSLATION] Faye Wong was spotted attending a play in Beijing. Her relaxed and powerful 5-word response earned praise – truly the demeanor of a heavenly queen
56-year-old pop diva Faye Wong has been living a semi-retired life in recent years, rarely making public appearances. On May 1st, while attending the play "Faust" starring Yin Fang at the Beijing Arts Center, she was photographed by fans. Her friends tried to stop them, but Faye Wong herself said, "Why bother with her?" This instantly sparked heated discussion online and quickly became a trending topic.
The fan and entertainment blogger "Yueyue Meng," who filmed Faye Wong at the theater that day, shared the footage on social media. The video shows Faye Wong wearing a mask and no makeup. She was dressed casually in an athletic jacket, her hair loosely tied in a bun, in a low-key appearance at the theater. After the performance, she was led away by staff.
The blogger spotted her idol and waited at the exit, immediately taking out her phone to film her. Faye Wong's staff, seeing this, became quite nervous and asked, "Shouldn't you do something about that person?" Unexpectedly, Faye Wong, far from being displeased, calmly waved her hand and said, "Who cares? It's nothing, why bother with her?" She then added, "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it," her tone was relaxed and natural, instantly shifting the atmosphere from tense to relaxed, even eliciting laughter.
Faye Wong appeared slightly taken aback when she saw the camera.
The fan recounted the incident in a post. She wrote, "Faye Wong's original voice is here! She told her staff: 'Don't worry about it!' I felt like I was dreaming when I bumped into Faye Wong! Of course I had to take out my phone to record!"
Regarding some netizens' questions about whether Faye Wong seemed to be signaling "Don't take pictures" with her eyes, the fan explained carefully: "What really happened was that Faye Wong was slightly taken aback when she saw me suddenly taking pictures with my phone, but when her staff was worried that I would disturb her, she told them, 'Don't worry about it.' I myself laughed when I saw this." She also stated, "If she [Faye] hadn't allowed photos to be taken today, you wouldn't have seen these candid photos." The post also shows Faye Wong playfully making a "V" sign at the camera afterward, showing her approachable and adorable side.
Netizens praise the laid-back vibe that has remained unchanged for 30 years
After the video was released, it quickly became a trending topic within hours, garnering an astonishing number of views in a single day. Netizens left numerous comments praising her:
"Haha, that 'Why bother with her?' tone was so funny, it felt like the staff were the ones being scolded," "I really love the heavenly queen's personality," "This is the real class of the heavenly queen," "A genuine sense of ease - it's never an act."
Some netizens jokingly described her as: "Faye Wong exudes such a laid-back vibe, like a neighbor's older sister just waking up and taking a stroll!" Others marveled at her flawless appearance without makeup, saying, "You can't tell she's 56 at all; she still radiates a youthful glow."
