Chen Ben is a man of dual personality. In contact with each other, occasionally, I found that he was full of bearded men in the phase, deep in the heart of the hidden hidden a different sex - graceful and beautiful femininity!

When chatting, Chen Ben said: "Many years ago, the former master of the comic convalescent ice condition to me, "Chen Ben a, you really is a good ghost like me, man body, woman heart! Haha."

During the New Crown epidemic, artistsBen.Rethinking the status and symbols of Chinese women.
