身患乳腺癌，先后经历25次放疗，后来又不幸患上抑郁症，但是这些病魔都不能让66岁的宁夏奶奶李春虹屈服。 “癌症激发了我对生命的渴望。 ”李春虹说。 Li Chunhong, 66, said it was cancer that fired her enthusiasm for life, pushing her to do things she had never dreamed of — being a model, for instance.

李春虹曾是一名宁夏的公务员，在医疗领域工作， 2017年退休。但退休后的她被诊断出乳腺癌， 25次放疗让她饱受病痛的折磨，但她仍然乐观坚强， “想在有限的生命里，再去做一些喜欢的、开心的事情。 ”Li was a civil servant before retiring in 2017. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and went through 25 radiation treatments, suffering pain and depression. "Knowing that life is limited, I wanted to do something I really liked," she said.
2018年，李春虹在朋友的建议下，走上了模特的舞台。才训练了几个月，她就前往参加了当年的中国中老年模特大赛，并出乎意料地夺得了金奖。
“这次获奖给了我很大的信心，让我坚持在模特这条路上继续走下去。 ”随后，李春虹又连续在两届中国中老年模特大赛上斩获金奖。 At the suggestion of a friend, she became a model in 2018. After only a few months of training, she took part in a national catwalk competition for elderly models. To her surprise, she won the gold award and then repeated the victory twice in consecutive annual competitions.

从公务员到模特的身份转变，让李春虹接触到了另一个精彩的世界，曾经上班只穿深色衣服的她，如今活出了跨越年龄的“精致感” 。 Li felt she had been reborn into a wonderful new world. Her identity changed from civil servant dressed only in dark-colored clothes to a model presenting the latest fashions.

在李春虹看来，真正的美丽源于心态。
“退休以后，实际你开启了另一个人生的‘战场’ ，要在一个全新的社会里面，不断地去学习。 ”李春虹说，生命短暂，却又有很长的路要走， “在我心里永远没有‘迟’的概念，我也希望把这种快乐传递给其他人。 ”"True beauty comes from a state of mind. I still have a young heart and want to make every day meaningful and share my happiness with the people around me," Li said. "After retirement, you are actually entering a new battlefield of life," she said. "You have to learn constantly."
新冠肺炎疫情暴发后，各类模特线下赛事相继延期或取消。
李春虹也开始尝试创作短视频，并且拥有了超20万粉丝。在她的社交平台账号中，她制作并发布了她即兴编排的小故事、华丽的换装视频、在大街上走秀“炸街”……令无数网友惊呼“姐姐好美” 。 Since the COVID-19 outbreak, various modeling competitions have been postponed or canceled. So Li turned her attention to short videos. Now she has more than 200,000 followers on a short video platform.
