Chinese actress Mao Xiaotong accidentally locked in the room for half an hour during an event.

On September 8th, mainland Chinese actress Mao Xiaotong found herself locked inside her dressing room for half an hour after finishing her red carpet appearance at an event. She kept yelling, “I can’t get out!” until staff heard her cries for help and freed her from the room.

Mao Xiaotong attended the “4th Xu Xu Hua Sheng Fashion Culture Awards” on September 8th. When she returned to her dressing room after walking the red carpet, the door suddenly jammed, and no matter how hard she tried to open it, she couldn’t, resulting in her being locked inside for half an hour. She repeatedly shouted, “Hello, I can’t get out!” but due to the room’s good soundproofing, her cries were not immediately heard. It wasn’t until a staff member heard her cries for help that the door was fixed, allowing her to escape.

In a humorous turn of events, due to the lengthy ordeal, Mao Xiaotong almost missed the event’s mealtime. After being rescued, Mao Xiaotong shared a video of her being locked in the room and jokingly said, “I almost missed my meal,” turning the mishap into a laughing matter.

Netizens couldn’t help but laugh at the situation, with many jokingly commenting, “Sister is really in a hurry to eat,” and “Who wouldn’t laugh when hearing her shout ‘can’t get out’?”

At 37 years old, Mao Xiaotong is best known for her role in the youth idol drama “Love O2O” alongside Zheng Shuang. In recent years, her performances in dramas such as “Nothing But Thirty” and “The Family” have also garnered positive response. According to mainland Chinese media, in the recently popular drama “The Long Ballad 2,” even though her role was not extensive, she portrayed the character of “Northern Qi Princess.” Despite China’s economic downturn and the “salary limit” policy, her remuneration still reaches an impressive 9 million RMB, surprising many in the industry.
