Vivian Hsu’s Nickname In Primary School Was ‘Toilet’
How flattering.
It’s that time of year for elementary school graduations in Taiwan, and anyone who has ever been a student has been sharing their yearbook photos online to commemorate the occasion.
Among them is actress Vivian Hsu, who posted her graduation pics from 34 years ago.
The 46-year-old shared that her “jellyfish hair” — puffy on top and wispy at the bottom — was so unflattering that she “couldn’t imagine anyone having a crush on [her].
Anyone who liked me must have been more interested in my personality!” she added.
Vivian also revealed that her nickname back then was ‘toilet’, as her original Chinese name, Xu Shujuan, sounds like ‘xi shou jian’, which is toilet.
Vivian doesn't seem to have any hard feelings about being called that and even poked fun of herself in her post. “Toilet, why did you purse your lips in the photo? Were you feeling shy?” she wrote.
Vivian also explained why she had that hairstyle in school.
“I lived in Taichung with my father and younger brother after my parents divorced when I was in Primary Three,” she shared. “My older sister and mum lived in Taipei. Daddy Hsu didn’t have time to care about my hairstyle, but that’s fine because people with interesting life stories are more charming.”
