Character evaluation

Liu Yulin's make-up is exquisite. When answering media questions, she is fluent and calm, which can be described as "no leakage". She's not a box office person. Liu Yulin shows his control over the scene and the actors in the movie "one sentence is worth ten thousand sentences". However, the film lacks the aura and sharpness that young people should have, making it too mature. Her figure and temperament are quite similar to that of dancer Yang Liping. Yang Liping conquers the audience with her graceful dancing style, while Liu Yulin expresses her artistic pursuit with movies (Nanfang online review). Her compassion has something to do with her childhood. She is as sensitive and thorough as her father Liu Zhenyun. At the same time, she has a high face value.
