The character of Xiao Long Nu in Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre (2006) is a classic figure in the career of actress Liu Yifei. The portrayal of this character may seem too modern compared to the original depiction of a gentle and delicate girl. However, this representation is actually in harmony with the current aesthetic, blending beautifully with Liu Yifei’s stunning features, leaving a lasting impression on audiences.
Recently, a group of netizens used AI technology to merge the faces of famous Chinese actresses into the character design of Xiao Long Nu, to see who can best match Liu Yifei. Among those featured were Angela Baby, Zhang Man Yu, Zhang Ba Zhi, Dong Le A, Qiu Jin Mach, Chung Han Dong, Châu Dã, Tran Hong, Dong Khiết, Địch Lệ Nhiệt Ba, Duong Mich… However, only Pham Bang Bang was rated as the most beautiful in the character design.

However, there are also viewers who argue that Xiao Long Nu is portrayed with an overly delicate look that does not align with the original character’s essence. Pham Bang Bang is known for her captivating beauty and strong presence, which may not be fully compatible with the character of Xiao Long Nu.
In fact, Pham Bang Bang has previously appeared in several iconic roles in Chinese dramas, including her role as Duong Quy Phi in Palace (2016) and in Legend of the Condor Heroes, while also taking on the role of Vo Mu Nương in Vo Mu Nương (2014) when she was just entering her 80s. In any role, Pham Bang Bang has always displayed a distinctive charm that sets her apart from the image of Xiao Long Nu.
