5th generation granddaughter shocks people because her beauty is so similar to Empress Dowager Cixi

Comparing the image of the 5th generation granddaughter of the family with rare photos of Empress Dowager Cixi in the past, netizens could not help but be surprised when their beauty was so similar, even as if they came from the same mold.

In the history of feudal China, there have been few women as powerful and controversial as Empress Dowager Cixi – who held the fate of the Qing Dynasty for nearly half a century. She was considered the “shadow behind the throne”, a political power manipulator, and was described in many contrasting images: both sharp and tough, yet cruel and lavish. To later generations, Empress Dowager Cixi was a symbol of female power in feudal times – but also a character who was considered to have contributed to the collapse of the Qing Dynasty.

However, few people know that behind the image of the "iron lady" is a beautiful, talented and art-loving Empress Dowager Cixi. According to records, when she was young, Cixi was a beautiful woman of the Yehe Na La clan - one of the most noble families in the Qing Dynasty. Her beauty was the reason why Emperor Xianfeng was infatuated with her and loved her so much.

Interestingly, the Empress Dowager Cixi was also the first woman in the imperial palace to be passionate about photography. When Western cameras were introduced to China, she immediately fell in love with this art form. Photos of Cixi in her later years – with her dignified appearance in royal robes and sharp gaze – have been preserved to this day. However, these images cannot fully reflect her youthful appearance.

Thanks to AI technology to restore and rejuvenate ancient images, future generations have the opportunity to "admire" the true face of the most powerful Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty. After being colored and processed with modern techniques, Tu Hi's face appeared with delicate features, deep eyes and a charming smile. According to contemporary aesthetic concepts, she can absolutely be considered one of the top beauties of the Qing Dynasty.

And if anyone is still skeptical about Tu Hi's beauty, then looking at her descendant - Diep Hac Na La Thu Hoang - will perhaps make her more confident.

Modern woman with royal temperament

Ye He Na La Thu Hong, born in 1969 in Beijing, is identified as the 5th generation granddaughter of Empress Dowager Cixi. Although living in the modern era, she still has many characteristics that make people easily associate with her famous ancestor.

Thu Hong is currently a university professor, Deputy Director of the Beijing Calligraphy Office, and a member of the Royal Society for Painting and Judicial Research. Not only is she famous for her education and talent, she also surprises the public with her elegant, noble, and much younger appearance than her real age.

Many photos of Thu Hoang circulated on Chinese social media show her gentle face, smooth skin and gentle smile. In particular, her bright eyes, curved eyebrows and calm temperament are said to be inherited from Empress Dowager Cixi.

Netizens even commented: "Looking at Thu Hoang is like meeting the Queen Mother again after more than 100 years", "Her noble aura exudes naturally, no need for a royal title to recognize it".

Calligraphy talent and family art heritage

Not only possessing an outstanding appearance, Thu Hoang is also famous in the art world for her outstanding calligraphy talent. She was once directly taught by her uncle, Diep Hac Na La Can Chinh - a famous calligrapher. Under his guidance, Thu Hoang soon absorbed the royal calligraphy style, combining the quintessence of the two cultures of Man and Han.

Her calligraphy works are regularly displayed at art exhibitions and charity auctions in Beijing, Liaoning, as well as many other provinces. Each stroke is soft but decisive, containing a classical yet modern spirit, helping Thu Hoang gain recognition from experts. She is considered one of the leading female calligraphers in contemporary China.

According to friends and colleagues, Thu Hoang is a modest, calm person with a simple lifestyle. She loves reading, painting and writing poetry. Although many directors and TV stations have invited her to participate in films because of her noble appearance, Thu Hoang refused, choosing the path of research and teaching to devote herself to art.

"I don't want to be a star. I just want to keep peace in my soul, like the way ancient people put their emotions into every stroke of ink" - she once shared at an art discussion.

Timeless Beauty and Legacy of Empress Dowager Cixi

If placed in the context of the ancient Qing Dynasty, with her current status, Thu Hoang could absolutely be called a Cach Cach (princess) of the royal family. However, she never used this status to gain fame, but only considered it a source of pride for her origins.

Her demeanor and style remind many people of the image of Empress Dowager Cixi – the woman who once controlled the entire imperial court, now "reborn" in a modern form. Chinese media once called Thu Hoang "the modern version of Empress Dowager Cixi", not only because of her appearance but also because of her confident demeanor, intelligence and love of art.

Although living in a different era, it seems that in Thu Hoang's blood still flows the legacy of a strong spirit, intelligence and love of beauty - which once created the legend of the most powerful woman at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

The emergence of Yehe Nara Shuhong once again made the public look back at history with different eyes. If Empress Dowager Cixi was once considered a symbol of conservatism, ambition and extravagance, her descendants brought a completely opposite image: wisdom, humility and elegance.
