sweety… don’t think she has any plastic. Rene is just good in keeping her looks that’s all… also these days the skin care and beauty care are getting really advance; people can keep their youth by applying cream and taking supplements.

Rene is very pretty and wholesome looking. I have no doubts that she takes good care of her skin. Although, that being a publicity photo, it’s likely there’s been a little retouching done. It’s a pretty standard thing to do.
I once heard someone in advertising say, “don’t believe everything you see in the photos. most of it has been retouched to some degree, be it even minimally.”
But like I said, you can tell Liu Rou Ying has taken good care of herself.
She’s so Sweet looking!♥

The photo definitely had been retouched… as you mentioned joe, it’s pretty standard stuff.
One thing good about Rene’s look is that it can withstand time. I am not sure how to say it properly… but some idols changed a lot (their look) as they grow older, but people like Rene never seem to grow old much… she probably still look like 25 when she get into 40s.

Rene Liu is one of the first Chinese Singers I ever got turned on to. I absolutely fell in love with her voice and music when I first heard her. She’s really how I developed an interest in the whole Mandopop/Cantopop, Asian music scene etc. Now I can’t get enough. :P
She’s also how I stumbled on this site late last year while I was recovering from back surgery. I was googling her name and came apon Yummy Celeb & Entertainment. Lol, when you’ve got a lot of time on your hands due to illness you tend to spend a lot of it on the web surfing and wha-la, you never know what kind of interesting things and places you run across.
March 8th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
ic. So you are still recovering or recovered? Good day to you anyway :)
March 8th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Oh yes, I’m much better now, thanks. It’s a slow recovery from back surgery and you risk re-injury if not carefull. I couldn’t walk, sit or stand much at all without pain killers, lol. But I’m getting around pretty good now. :-)
Still a little pain down the leg every now and then but that’s just the sciatic nerve healing. Like I said, it’s slow. I’ve been told you don’t actually feel fully recovered for a year , maybe even two. I’m at 3 months since my surgery.
March 8th, 2007 at 3:59 pm
ic, take good care then.
March 8th, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Thank you, Yummy. I appreciate it.

Another singer I like who I think sounds very similar to Rene is Jasmine Leung (梁静茹; Liáng Jìngrú, Fish Leong). I used to get the two mixed up, because they sounded so much alike to me.
I didn’ know until I saw the MV that they sang together on a song called “Love”. Hearing that song, I always kind of thought it was just Rene singing, yet there was something slightly different about some places in the song. When I saw the video I found out why. It was Jasmine singing with Rene.
March 8th, 2007 at 7:40 pm
I know the song… true indeed, it’s hard to differentiate who is who from the song. Fish was still newbie back then, now she’s a star.

Nice new picture of Rene. That photo looks like it’s had some kind of filter applied too, but not as obvious as the Rainie. This one could pass as being pretty natural looking. Still, Rene is so pretty. Love that girl!!! :)
