Source-derived summary

Liu Sue-Hua, also known as Leanne Liu, is a Golden Bell Award-winning Hong Kong actress.

She first starred in Shaw Brothers films in Hong Kong, but moved to Taiwan in the 1980s to focus on her television career. She is particularly famous for appearing in many television adaptations of Chiung Yao's novels. She is still active in Mainland Chinese series and is one of the highest paid television actresses there.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Leanne Liu” as actress. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Leanne and actress.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current 70-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1959-11-12. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Leanne and actress providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Leanne Liu”, the useful work is to connect “actress” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6509862. VIAF identifies the subject as 221200794. The Library of Congress control number is no2011183706. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
