- China actress prefers low-key life, studied Buddhist ‘five paths’, still gets linked to famous ex from 2000s

Chinese actress Xue Jianing is frequently referred to as the ex-girlfriend of renowned Blossoms Shanghai actor Hu Ge, but she has blossomed very well on her own without him.
Xue, 45, is the former lover about whom Hu once said he had “most regrets”. Her name is still mentioned every time he and his wife, whom he married in 2022, appear in the news.
When Xue met Hu in 2004, she was already nationally famous for her role as Ha Mei in the 2002 television series Pink Ladies while Hu had yet to make his name as an actor.
Adapted from Taiwan cartoonist Zhu Deyong’s work of the same name, Pink Ladies was the most-watched show on the mainland and in Taiwan when it was aired.
Xue played the part of a woman with no interest in having a romantic relationship, and was a big fan of Japanese and South Korean pop culture.
Her cute appearance and lively personality were considered a perfect match for the role.
