As 2025 begins, the whole internet is rallying behind Liu Xiaoqing in her quest for the perfect fish.

The travel variety show "A Journey of Blossoms" has been dubbed "not to be missed" ever since the guest lineup was announced, attracting curious viewers by the droves. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaoqing made a striking entrance, rapidly attracting a new wave of fans and earning the affectionate nickname "Qing Nai." Her spirited presence has become a new role model for many.

At 74, Qing Nai moves with incredible agility, jogging even at the high altitude of 2,690 meters at Lugu Lake. She has a hearty appetite for fish heads, remains composed amid criticism, and addresses problems with clarity—truly embodying the dignity and vitality of a remarkable woman.

"No wonder she played Wu Zetian."

"Compared to Qing Nai, I feel like a senior citizen."

"It's just a fish; let our Qing Nai have it."

......

The immense support from netizens underscores Liu Xiaoqing's undeniable charm.

As the show continues, viewers gain deeper insights into Qing Nai's life experiences and her approach to challenges. Many of her past statements have resurfaced, sparking discussion. People say Qing Nai lives ahead of her time. In truth, it's not that she is ahead; rather, she has always possessed the ability to discern fundamental truths, which are timeless. After all, she is a Scorpio.

1. The Sincerity of a Scorpio is Their Strongest Asset

Liu Xiaoqing quickly endeared herself to many netizens perhaps because, at the show's outset, while other guests appeared defensive and overly cautious, Liu Xiaoqing was open and genuine.

There are countless ways people interact with the world, but Scorpios opt for the most direct approach.

In the "fish incident," Qing Nai openly expressed her desire: "I need to eat a whole fish." During the captaincy change incident, she quickly identified the core issue and gracefully stepped down, despite the doubts of others.

While netizens lamented on her behalf, Qing Nai turned the tables by challenging herself to a 4,000-meter parachute jump. During a live stream, she calmly explained to guests, "Every event has its brewing time, but sometimes we don't see the underlying causes."

This calm approach results in fewer internal conflicts for Scorpios.

Scorpios have a knack for deep understanding, though such insights can lead to pain; the deeper the understanding, the sharper the hurt. We must accept that the world isn’t always kind; much of the malice is groundless. Scorpios often perceive truths early on, which should cause inner turmoil. However, Scorpios choose a different path: since this is the essence, there's no point in grappling with unsolvable issues to the point of exhaustion. They face life untroubled, with direct acceptance.

Scorpios approach life with simplicity, cutting through the complexity of adulthood to get to the heart of matters. For instance, in a variety show, the essential task is to complete the recording and offer audiences a glimpse of local customs without feeling compelled to excel in every domain.

Scorpios are open about not crafting personas; they seek to experience the world genuinely, open to its elements with no ulterior motives. With no obsessive desires, nothing can truly harm them.

Scorpios' brilliance lies in neither fearing conflict nor suppressing grievances for others' comfort; they genuinely step out of societal frameworks to see the world as it is.

Thus, Scorpios aren’t pretentious about their frustrations; they genuinely don’t worry about minor misunderstandings: "I am who I am; I uphold my internal order and protect what matters. Everything else is extraneous; a little more, a little less—it's all the same."

Reality shows can indeed suffer from misleading edits, but why have more people seen beyond the scripts recently? Because human conduct follows intrinsic logic; selfishness, if present, inevitably reveals itself. From beginning to end, Scorpios embrace authenticity; their values stay consistent. Despite any narrative twists, the audience senses sincerity that cuts through the lens.

Born in late autumn, Scorpios inherently carry a sense of dread and helplessness about the coming winter. But it’s precisely because the lush scenery diminishes that Scorpios glimpse their true selves. While the autumn wind may whisk away leaves, it can't dislodge deeply planted roots. Standing firm here is their authentic self.

Without the adornments of leaves and flowers, I stand honestly amidst heaven and earth, arms open to the sky. I withhold no secret weapons; if you can defeat me, go ahead and try.

2. When Hurt, Persevere and Push Forward

Qing Nai's life story is likely familiar to many—she's starred as the legendary Empress Wu Zetian and even ran 8,000 steps in prison. Every experience she's had is unprecedented for a Chinese actress.

On the show, Qing Nai shared some past experiences, prompting other guests to empathize, with Zhang Qiang even offering future care for Liu Xiaoqing. Yet, even amid such a supportive atmosphere, she showed no signs of weakness. On the contrary, she accepted everyone's concern graciously, including Li Xiaoran's apology.

As she once remarked: "Aside from life and death, everything else is trivial." Any hardship seems insignificant compared to life and death. Once a Scorpio grasps this, they evolve into a higher version of themselves.

The so-called "awareness" and "independence" aren't achieved through catchy slogans; they remain abstract unless backed by authentic experiences. We are all ordinary mortals, and by truly confronting life and death and accepting death's inevitability, we gain our immortal self.

Life’s beauty lies in that as long as your spirit endures, you can find a way out of despair. Scorpios find security within rather than relying on external validation.

The world is unpredictable, yet you remain true to yourself. Scorpios don't seek consistency; instead, they discover new pathways in life's countless moments.

My weaknesses? Scorpios define them for themselves.

Many fear manipulation, treating weaknesses as embarrassing flaws, dreading judgment. True vulnerability lies in the shame itself; after all, there's an old saying: "Family shame shouldn't be exposed publicly."

A mature Scorpio rises above this unwarranted shame. If it's my fault, I’ll admit and correct it. If it's not, there's no need to burden myself with undue negativity.

It won't destroy me.

In the face of death, everyone is equal; it doesn't delay due to fear, weakness, or shame. Instead, past beauty and dignity make its arrival free of regret. I didn’t forsake life's beauty due to fear, so even reaching my destination holds no regret.

With every stride, I walk with passion, negating the need to look back at the finish line; I remember every moment.

Whether it’s 8,000 steps or a casual jog on the show, every step counts.

3. "The Era Can't Keep Up with Me"—Eternity Surpasses Time

As young netizens take an interest in Qing Nai, many of her early quotes have resurfaced, most notably: "The era has caught up with Liu Xiaoqing."

In a recent stream, Liu Xiaoqing clarified: "The era can't keep up with me because I'm always moving forward."

Why does the new generation’s view of Qing Nai differ so greatly from previous ones?

I suspect many older generations didn't hold Liu Xiaoqing in high regard due to her unconventional, flamboyant image. This shift in her reputation reflects the evolving demands of the times.

Youth today crave vibrant vitality, ambition, and unmasked authenticity—all qualities Scorpios have consistently upheld.

As a mutable water sign, Scorpio is more like a block of ice—distinctly defined, sharply edged, and fiercely cold. Such stability enables Scorpios to transcend time.

They possess clarity of vision about their innermost desires; as time refines these, their pursuits remain ever fresh, undistorted by life's distractions. Consequently, their choices extend beyond temporal constraints.

Over time, scorpions’ attributes become more pronounced. Like ice, they naturally deter frivolities, going straight to the heart of problems rather than indulging in superficial tasks that seem taxing but are merely self-serving.

In the show, Liu Xiaoqing’s discourse reflects this; she avoids "maybes" or "possibles," eschewing self-protection to address issues directly. These seemingly "absolute" truths can be misunderstood online, as they aren’t always palatable.

Occasionally, it’s not that Scorpios are ahead; rather, time doesn't alter fundamental workings. Scorpios find the hidden gold within the mud of confusion sooner than others.

People don't believe it until the mud clears, revealing the metallic sheen.

So, there’s no race between Scorpios and the world; the world remains unchanged—it’s us that evolve. The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west; Scorpios simply observe, "It’s always been this way." If Scorpios compete, it's against who they once were.

Final Thoughts:

This article isn't intended to side with or whitewash anyone, nor to elevate Qing Nai to internet deity status. The distinctive vitality of a Scorpio within her, always advancing, is too precious to overlook.

In common narratives, Scorpios are often deemed mysterious and intense, as if they dwell in darkness. Yet, they hold their ray of light, illuminating their path.

They may not originate from the light, but they advance from darkness toward it. What’s truly charming about them is that they don’t pursue the sun, unlike the mythological Kua Fu; to Scorpios, the pursuit of light isn’t the endpoint. What they seek lies in each journey.

Here is a piece of dialogue from Niu Zai while chasing after Qing Nai:

"Sister, stop running!"

"Then you'll be left behind."
