Recently, Li Ruotong shared her self-doubt caused by a decade-long relationship failure, sacrificing time with her family only to receive the news of her father's passing, which led her into a period of depression.
At the 2024 Phoenix Network Women's Influential Awards, actress Li Ruotong revealed: after enduring the end of a ten-year relationship, her father's serious illness and subsequent passing, and malicious media interpretations, she suffered from depression six or seven years ago, with the worst times finding solace only in the gym.
Responding to being unmarried and childless at 58, she said, "For me, who is only 58 years old, I hope that no matter what age you are, even if you're 70, you should say 'I'm only 70.' This is vitality. For me, who is only 58, I'm still not married, still haven't had children. This sentence can be understood like this: no matter what life throws at you, women should have the ability to stand on their own, even if they walk alone, they should still maintain inner vitality, the strength to live. I am alone but I am not lonely."
