Almost 50-Year-Old Mom Looks So Young That People Think She’s Son’s Girlfriend, Now She Reveals Her Secrets
Is it possible to look half your age? Most definitely! And Liu Yelin is walking proof.
The Asian mom of one who rarely wears makeup is nearly 50 years old yet looks so young people think her 22-year-old son is her boyfriend. Without a wrinkle in sight and a super-toned body, Liu is constantly stunning people with her looks. “People are often shocked to find out I’m almost 50,” Liu Yelin (49) told Mail Online. “Whenever I went shopping and told people my real age, I often got mobbed by strangers who wanted to find out my beauty secrets.”
So, what is that secret of hers on how to look younger? Regular exercise for three decades. “I swim in the lake and do weight training every day,” she said. “My favorite thing is swimming outdoors in winter.” In fact, Liu has swum across the Yangtse River in China and the Han River in South Korea. And last year, she swam from the shores of Penang, Malaysia to the Strait of Malacca – that’s a whopping 7.45 miles in just 4 hours! Pretty impressive, huh? The super-fit Asian beauty now has over 75k followers on a Chinese social media site called Weibo and lives by the motto: “If you think you look rough, that’s because you haven’t sweated enough.”

Share on FacebookMaybe people wouldn't think your son is your boyfriend if you weren't posing with your son like he's your boyfriend? Just a thought.
I don't know... I guess she won the genetic lottery because swimming every day won't keep you from getting wrinkles - in your face.
In fact being in the sun plus the sun that is reflected off the water can not be good for your skin.
Load More Replies...She looks fantastic, but lets be honest about her "secrets" - sweat didn't make those boobs. And the poses with her son are downright creepy.
"Whenever I went shopping and told people my real age..." why would you even do that? I bet she does it every time just to get reactions and praise. SMH
If she rarely wears makeup why not take a picture of her without? Why show her with makeup in every single picture? What a bunch of c**p this article is.
I am not worried about how she dresses, she looks great. But sticking your boobs and your butt out when posing with your... son??? They're holding hands and he's carrying her like they're dating. That might be the reason people think you're dating?! I mean...........
I call BS. 37 miles in 4 hours? If she were to swim 37 miles at Olympic 1500 meter pace then it would take over 8 hours. So she is super-human to be able to swim at twice the speed of an Olympic 1500m swimmer for 4 hours. Wow. Now I'm doubting the whole post.
Thanks for pointing this out, it was actually supposed to say 7 miles, not 37 Updated! :)

take a close look. she does look old lol, i can see her age from her face. She does have nice body and she does keep her skin in good condition, but her face still looks old to me. Her son looks way younger than her (i mean his face). Perhaps she doesnt look like 50 but at least 40? imo
I'm tired of all the so-called secrets to look young. Sure, you can help a bit with some exercise, good food and skin conditioners. BUT, the most important thing....................damn good genes. Bet her parents look darn good for their age as well. No, it's just damn good genes. These people lucked out in the heredity lottery.
What does she eat, wonder if she's going thru the menopause.!!!
Load More Replies...Idk, you can exercise all you want and wrinkles and folds still happen. Gravity is real and cells break down
Plenty of people are disciplined enough to exercise everyday-but honestly that definitely doesn't keep your face young. In some cases it actually ages your face, hands, and neck faster.
Load More Replies...Uhhhh people mistake them for a couple because they are all over eachother. A too close i think yuck yuck
Inappropriate mom, your body looks amazing but omg the mess in your head....that son would be hell to date
I look at the pictures with the son having to pose with his mother acting his girlfriend and I just hear the 'Kerching' of the money many many therapists will make with him. Hello Oedipus!
Hmmm to attack or praise this? What kind of mood or person am I today? hmmmmmm... ;)
So disappointed in Bored Panda. Used to love this site and always recommended to friends. It is mainly asinine superficial c**p nowadays. Gone bad through crass commercialism. Shame
Something creepy and scary and shameless and sick and sad? Very very very sad
Load More Replies...An almost 50 year old woman dressing like a teenager and posing with her son like he is her boyfriend isn't enviable, it's sad and a little creepy.
Why can't I see the comments and replies that Facebook says are here?
I don't understand who is up-voting this story and why? The vast majority of comments I'm reading are negative (I agree with all of them). Please enlighten me, what is there to like here? It's a shallow woman, who has an unhealthy relationship with her son, who has had cosmetic surgery and likes to parade her face and body saying how she is just naturally healthy and beautiful while caking her face with makeup and holding her breath in every photo. What do you like about this? I would like to understand.
good for her if it makes her happy, I prefer to grow old gracefully and make the most of the rest of my life (I'm 64), the years go by so fast that I want to eat what I want, do what I want, when I want. Mostly I don't want to have any rules and regulations, don't want to see people who don't bring positive things into my life, and not do what I don't want to do.......be happy people, life goes by very fast
if she goes to hes mums house maybe they should pretend that shes 22 lol
A boring article by a boring writer on a boring website with a bunch of boring BS!
I don't think she did it naturally. If you see her old picture, you'll notice her current nose is smaller
Asian people generally look younger than their age, and I have a friend who's 53 and has a really nice body, not a teen body but she looks like 30sh, but she really looks young, 😯
Yes, this woman looks good. I think she has had work done, there's nothing wrong with that. But the poses with her son? They are creepy AF.
My dear Bored Panda, I am an 60 year old Engineer from the Midwest and I would do anything just to be in the same the room with you. What a success story you are, truly! An absolutely stunningly gorgeous lady for any age! Best to you Miss Wonderful!, Larry D.
Yaw some haters just cuz most of yaw let yourself go and sugar also can she you so becareful what you drink and eat I’m about to be 30 and I have 4 kids and I don’t even look like it and I had no surgery it’s call the youth from god and doing your part of taking care of yourself but of course a lot of people are going to be mad and jealous
Ironically these days, when someone looks perfect....there almost is always some kind of work done....her nose, eyes and chest obviously had intervention surgery, so how can she think we will believe she has not had Botox or any other skin treatments out there that can reduce or remove lines??? I have seen Asian women that look only a couple of years older than their teen children, but all the other surgery makes this case suspect!!!
Chinese people are OBSESSED with being skinny. My mum works out too, and insists I should too. (I am quite curvy, the opposite of what defines beauty in China. I partake in school sport once a week, but do not do regularly do exercise outside of school.) However, my mum won't go through surgery to remove the skin that has stretched out from having me. She has cellulite and stretch marks, and I do too, at the age of 16. I think my mum is about the same age as her, as well (in her 50s). It creeps me out how perfect this woman is. Not a flaw on her face and body. Not a stretch mark, or some cellulite, or a freckle. I seriously doubt that swimming every day will remove all the extra skin from having a baby.
that might not be her son, it might be a professional model hired to pose with her.
I heard that the Yangtze River was full of pollution, perhaps she is a bio-active freak of nature.
They're all Photoshopped using Adobe Photoshop 2015 Image edited with Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 Windows Photo has Adobe editing tags Exif and image data can tell if an image has been edited, but not how much. You'll need to look closer at the image to decide how much it has been edited.
Yeh . Why are they acting like a couple if their not. I wouldnt be hangin on any of my sons like that. Creepy
Amazing, i believe she is 49 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4492304/Is-youthful-looking-mother-ve-seen.html
I disliked the fact she says nothing about her surgery or whatever she does apart from swimming, but why are people criticising pictures with her son? I don't have any children yet but I think I would be allowed to hold their hands at any age. Same for my parents, my brother, my cousin and whoever I like! Envious lonely people
Okay, I'm going to start running.....I have 3 more years before I hit 50!
Apart of the incestual type appearance, she is absolutely GORGEOUS! She can parade around with me as her son anyday. lol
I bet people aren't nearly as curious about your age, once they notice the incestuous photos you take with your child.
wow. I thought it was plastic surgery or something but it was just exercise! Good on her! but is the relationship with her son a bit awkward? The poses and stuff.. (0 _ o )
It's a bit biased because Asian women are naturally petite and slender anyways. Genetically speaking, she's hit the jackpot...Although the subtle overtones of incest is a bit disturbing...*shudder*
That's NOT just swimming. Whatever she has done, she has done an awesome work. Better than Madonna. What is it? I wanna know too!!!

Oh please! Her body looks great and that's a fact. But her face looks aged. And that's a fact, too.
I might think she's in her 30s, but definitely not her 20s. She's lost too much body fat in the face and neck. The neck especially belies her age.
lifestyle is important but seems to be ignoring the huge roll played by genetics
Really BoredPanda? "The Chinese mother of one who rarely wears makeup is nearly..." RARELY WEARS MAKEUP? ARE YOU SURE? Screenshot...0e6345.png
These poses would probably look weird for Americans but being of Asian descent I've seen folks like this from various Asian countries and they would not consider this inappropriate. Just as in other countries you see men holding hands, there is no shame in holding hands with family or even two best girlfriends. I think you have to look at the country and the context too.
I know people who exercise regularly too, natural substances for their body for the most part, and they do look pretty young and/or good for their age. Combo of exercise and genetics.
Wow!!!! What a woman. I'll bet her son is proud of her. As far as the comments go, I have never seen so many people so positive about being negative. If she was overweight and had the same (but larger) clothes on and if she had the same photos taken, you would be criticising her for her weight and for embarrassing her son. Why don't you admit that you don't have much of a chance of looking that good at that age.
For me I find these poses weird and awkward at the same time I don't because for me at least asian families tend to take pictures like this all the time. When I went to Thailand, my mom and aunts always tell me that I man who holds his mom's hand is a man you ought to marry o.o It might just not be strange for them over there.
I definitely agree that kind of dedication is fantastic, and she does look great. But the photos with the son are so incredibly creepy.
Load More Replies...She looks beautiful and fit, but it's kinda creepy having her child pick her up like that. She is a beautiful women regardless of her age.
These comments have me dying. Say what you want but the jealousy is alarmingly apparent. No surprise that the the uglier the poster, the harsher the comment. So sad. God forbid a person be proud of how they look.
I agree! Some of these people are just jealous. I give this woman mad props for taking such exceptional care of her skin and body! Makes me want to take up swimming.
