Qiong Yao Actresses And Other Timeless Beauties

For those who don't know, Qiong Yao is a very famous Chinese novelist, who wrote a collection of romantic stories. Her stories epitomized the classical ideal of Chinese beauty as well as the plotline of tragic love between opposite characters. Let's post up pictures of these actresses along with other classical actresses.

(Mei Hua Lao)

(Princess Returning Pearl)

(Tears in Heaven)

(Various Qiong Yao Actresses)

I love Jiang QinQin and Athena Chu in Tears in Heaven!

Vicki Zhao and Ruby Lin are my favorites in Princess Returning Pearl and Romance in Rain<33

Most of the Qiong Yao dramas are popular in the early 90's in China so I don't think alot of Soompiers are familiar with it.

I'd probably know it if there were viet titles provided. The girl under Athena is pretty.

I never knew she wrote so many novels.

Romance in the Rain. <3

ahhh! Love auntie Qiongyao. She always picks very good looking girls ^^ All of her female drama leads are so pretty!

And of course you can't forget Qing Er! She's my fav. *breaks out HZGG collection xD

And Fan Bing Bing! Her acting wasn't that great in Princess of Pearl (she herself even admitted it in an interview) but she's a big star now in China

And here are the newer additions to the family, Zhang Zia Ni and Qin Lan from Dreams Link

^ she's the prettiest Qiong Yao lead imo =] I was watching one of her films with my mom the other day..

All of her dramas seem to be set in the Qing dynasty...not really the romantic time in Chinese history. The dramas portray royalties who were Chinese but most of them were actually Manchus in the Qing dynasty.

Aww, thanks for contributing guys!!! I'll add some pictures from an older series (not from Qiong Yao). It's called Wu Ze Tian, the only female empress in Chinese history. There were lots of pretty actresses in this series.

i love Princess Returning Pearl,

Ruby Lin was my favorite back then xD

I loved Princess Returning Pearl too!!

The sequels weren't as good though... At least the television adaptions.

Ruby Lin's my favorite; I love her and Alec Su!

My mom looooves Qiong Yao!

I'm a big fan of her work and I like most of her main actresses

oh! i keep reading the name again and again, and finally I know who she is XD (only know her name in viet ^^')

I loved her novels XD read a lot of it back then, cuz they were so romantic and sad, and I used to cry very much while reading too XD

Ruby my fav~~! <3 <3 <3

she's gorgeous!

OMG I still LOVE Qiong Yao series. I grew up watching them with my Mom. The most talented of all of the actress is definitely Lau Suet Wah in my book. She practically dominated all of the series in the 80s with Chin Han! Love her sooo much!!!

I remember watching Princess Returning Pearl as a kid.

and I remember loving it very much even though I did not really understand mandarin.

I think I watched it in dubbed canto too. It was really popular. I watched it with my grandparents. =D

huan zhu gege was awesome!

Too bad my chinese reading skills are like primary level, so I'll probably die trying to finish each book =(

ruby lin and vicki zhao still impressed me in princess pearl and that started me

to interest in chinese ET and has learned chinese so really miss my childhood

never get enough of them
