8days.sg reached out to Meijiao via her manager, who said the actress would not be doing any interviews about her ‘retirement’ from acting.
Instead, Meijiao dropped us a voice message to say she’s “now on a long holiday”.
“As for how long this holiday is going to last, I honestly don’t know,” added the actress, who has been in the entertainment industry since 1985.
Meijiao’s manager also emphasised that she is only semi-retired, and will return to the screen if a good role comes along.
That said, Meijiao admitted that she’s really enjoying her new slower-paced life and is also busy decluttering her house.
“I also finally have time to do the things I’ve wanted to do in the past but never had time to,” she added.
For instance, Meijiao recently enrolled in a hairdressing course as she has always wanted to volunteer at an old folks home.
“Once I master it, I can go to the old folks home and cut hair for the elderly. I feel happy that I’m doing this,” she shared.
As for whether or not Meijiao has intentions of returning to acting, she said she hasn’t given it much thought.
“We shall let nature take its course. If the time comes, then naturally there will be plans. Right now, I just want to enjoy the moment,” said Meijiao.
