7 Mar - Chinese actress Betty Sun Li previously surprised many when she decided to attend the 2017 China TV Drama Quality Awards in a traditional qipao and hairstyle.

While many praised the actress for opting for a classic look rather than appear in the usual glamorous fashion, Sun recently stated that she wasn't making any patriotic statement, rather than just making an easier choice for her to return to work.

As reported on Tencent, the actress, who is currently busy filming the new drama, "Nothing Gold Can Stay", revealed that she had to film several scenes on the same day the award show was held.

"Wearing a costume and make-up takes a lot of time, and I have to go back to the filming set after the event. Thus, I decided to just wear my drama costume to the ceremony," she said.

Her explanation still won admiration from fans, who praised the actress for being dedicated to her work.

The attack happened in the early hours of May 16 last year, after Green and his stockbroker pals had been bar-hopping around the City with the victim and her friend.

Video shows protesters outside Supreme Court in China's Chongqing
STORY: :: Eyewitness video shows protests outside Chongqing's Supreme Court :: Chongqing, China:: December 2, 2024:: Protesters were upset about a law allowing creditors to target former shareholders in companies :: Now Beijing says the law should not apply to those who sold out before it took effect in July A sweeping overhaul of China's company law took effect in July, allowing companies to hold original shareholders accountable for unpaid sums despite having already transferred their shares.But in a move that surprised legal experts, the Supreme People's Court went further by declaring old shareholders liable for unpaid sums after bankruptcy, even if they had already transferred their shares to new investors.That retroactive enforcement angered investors who worried about potential liabilities after they had cashed out.The protests, which experts said had threatened to turn into a broader social stability concern for Beijing, focused on who should be on the hook when private companies of the kind that once powered China's boom cannot pay their debts or go bust.
