Crystal Liu, the 18-year-old daughter of actress Annie Yi and businessman Charles Liu, has revealed her demanding daily life as a student at UCLA and a part-time Pilates instructor. Liu, often praised as one of the "most beautiful second-generation celebrities," shared her routine in a vlog created with a friend studying at Stanford.

Her day begins at 7:30 a.m. with a workout at the gym, followed by breakfast and getting ready. By 9 a.m., she is already at a Pilates studio, working as a coach. After lunch at the school cafeteria, her afternoon is filled with classes. She returns home for dinner before dedicating her evenings to studying until midnight.

Liu's disciplined schedule has impressed many netizens, who lauded her perseverance. Beyond academics, she holds a Level 10 piano certification and is proficient in flute and equestrianism. Last year, she completed 450 hours of intensive training to earn her professional Pilates instructor license.

Despite her seemingly perfect life, Liu admitted to past "appearance anxiety" due to her skin tone. However, through exploring skincare and makeup, she learned to embrace her natural complexion. "I've made peace with my skin tone now," she stated, emphasizing that skin color should not determine beauty. She views skincare and makeup as processes that enhance her beauty and confidence.

I've made peace with my skin tone now, don't use skin color to determine if a person is good-looking. Whether it's skincare or makeup, it's a process that makes me more beautiful and confident.
