Liu Xiaoqing, the oldest at 30, had a career record of winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress once and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress three times.
Zhang Jinling, 29, had retired early and had never won any awards.
Li Xiuming, 26, had won one Golden Rooster and one Hundred Flowers Award.
Her notable works included "Xu Mao and His Daughters" and "The Peacock Princess."
She also played the role of Yuanchun in the film adaptation of "Dream of the Red Chamber," a role originally intended for Gong Xue.
Li Xiuming was a clever woman.
During the commercial boom of the 1990s, she and her husband started a company outside the Beijing Film Studio, selling potato chips under the brand "Dajia Bao."
At the time, there were few domestic potato chip brands, and their product became an instant hit.
Within two years, their revenue reached 40 million yuan, and they eventually sold the company to PepsiCo for several hundred million yuan, achieving financial freedom and retiring to Canada.
