Since her debut, she has released seven top-selling albums, 52 No.1 singles and three films. Time Magazine has named Li the “Asian Hero” and “Icon of Chinese Pop Culture.”

    Dressed in a white blouse and shiny beaded black jacket, Li received her award wearing a confident smile on her face. In her acceptance speech, she expressed her gratitude to the event’s organizers and her fans and those who love Chinese music.(SD-Agencies)
