“National Athlete Defies Critics: The Bold Swimsuit Choice That Has Everyone Talking!”

“You are obviously healthy and beautiful, why do some people talk so much?” another commented.

A third follower added: “An independent and free soul is the source of happiness. Being yourself is more important than anything else. You are you and you will always be you.”

“Swimsuits are not p*rnographic, how dare anyone question you? Just be yourself and share what you love, we all love you,” a separate user stated. 

Liu previously called out a commenter who criticized her legs, saying, “I know I am fat. It’s a healthy beauty. I embrace everything about myself”

“It’s absolutely right to show your true self,” somebody else noted. “Swimming is not just a sport; it’s a way of life. I support your confidence and determination.”

“What kind of people criticize Liu? They must have shadows in their minds, leading them to perceive everything negatively,” a separate user suggested.

Earlier this year, Liu responded to a user who commented on her gaining weight, particularly in her legs.

“OK, I know I am fat. It’s a healthy beauty. I embrace everything about myself. I am the most beautiful one,” the content creator replied, as per the South China Morning Post.

While Liu’s social media accounts remain active, another Chinese athlete, Wu Liufang, had her account banned for posting “thirst trap” videos, according to the outlet. The former gymnast reportedly gained millions of followers after her ban was lifted a week later.

“Just wear what you like and don’t worry about the comments,” a reader advised
