Comparisons & Subjectivity: Is She the Most Beautiful?

While many people admire her appearance, saying she is the most beautiful among all Chinese actresses is hard to prove. A few reasons:

Many great contenders: Chinese cinema and television have many actresses who are highly admired for beauty, e.g. Li Bingbing, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying etc. Each has different styles – classic, delicate, ethereal, bold, etc.
Beauty ideals vary: Standards of beauty vary by region, era, media, culture. What one viewer likes (e.g. a “cute” aesthetic) another might prefer (e.g. regal or mature). So “most beautiful” is personal.
Media influence: How much exposure someone gets (through promotions, PR, photo shoots, roles) can influence perceptions of beauty. Li Yitong gets good exposure, but others may get more or less depending on factors beyond appearance.
Criticism & balance: Some netizens praise her beauty a lot, but others critique aspects like acting skill or “character / presence” in certain roles. Beauty alone doesn’t always lead to universal acclaim. Laitimes

So, she is often placed among the beautiful — admired by many, but whether she is “the most” depends on individual opinion.

What Is Known (or Not) About Her Sexuality

Regarding Li Yitong’s sexuality:

Public statements: As of the latest verifiable information, Li Yitong has not publicly stated a non-heterosexual orientation. There is no reliable source confirming she is LGBTQ+ or otherwise. She has not made any public declarations about sexual orientation. I found no interview or official statement where she says she is queer, bisexual, lesbian, etc. The sources do not report confirmed same-sex relationships.
Rumors & speculation: Like many celebrities, she is subject to rumors about romantic relationships. For example, rumors have circulated about her having a boyfriend or relationship, but these are unconfirmed. Her studio denied some of these rumors, stating private gatherings and friendships rather than romantic involvement. Min News+1
Privacy: It seems she keeps her private life relatively low-profile. She doesn’t often respond to or confirm rumors. This is fairly typical in Chinese entertainment, especially for issues that can be sensitive or subject to public misunderstanding.

So, in summary, there is no credible evidence to support any public claim about a non-heterosexual orientation for Li Yitong.
