A popular actress in Taiwan has won hearts online for her age-defying beauty at age 63, proving yet again that “Asian don’t raisin.”
Chen Meifen has been gaining fans around the world as images of her youthful appearance continue to be widely shared on social media. Her fans online have named her Taiwan’s most beautiful “Obasan,” which is a Japanese term for auntie.
An established local celebrity today, Meifen entered the limelight 45 years ago in Taiwan as a teenage beauty queen. In 1975, Meifeng won the Knitwear Beauty Queen crown at age 19.
“Who says obasans must look dowdy and ugly? We can choose to be beautiful obasans. Nobody can defy the ageing process, but we can grow beautiful as we age,” she was quoted as saying.
Meifen continues to captivate her social media followers on Facebook, where she has over 500,000 page likes, and on Instagram, where she now has more than 83,000 followers.
Asked how she has maintained her flawless skin and eye-catching physique, she attributed most of it to a heavy diet of “ginger and soup” and regular workouts.
