Brigitte Lin shared photos of herself in a red dress on Weibo on September 3 to celebrate her 72nd birthday. The former actress, who debuted in 1973 and gained fame for her role in Swordsman II, received praise from online communities for her enduring beauty.

On September 3, Brigitte Lin posted photos to her Weibo account with the message, "Happy birthday to me. All the blessings you send will return to you."

In the photos, Brigitte Lin is dressed in a red dress, smiling brightly in front of a large bouquet of red roses shaped like a cake.

Born in Taiwan on November 3, 1954, Brigitte Lin debuted in 1973 at the age of 19. She gained massive popularity for her role as a female protagonist disguised as a man in the 1992 martial arts film Swordsman II.

She visited Korea in 1993 to hold a fan signing event to promote The East Is Red. Following her filming for Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express in 1994, she married a businessman later that same year, effectively retiring from the silver screen.

Brigitte Lin's birthday post has spread across various online communities in Korea, drawing various reactions such as, "She is 72, but her beauty remains unchanged."
