After the competition, “princess” Li received an interview while holding a “Chinese princess Barbie doll,” and said “in my opinion, a Chinese princess should be a woman that is elegant and has a dignified bearing and a temperament that characterizes Chinese women. I hope I can meet these standards, and promote director Zhang’s opera Turandot on behalf of Chinese women.”
