L
His father, An Shaokang, is a professor in the French Department of Wuhan University, and his mother, Liu Xiaoli, is a national first-class dancer. At the age of 10, her parents divorced, and Liu Yifei dropped out of Poyang Street Primary School in Jiang'an District, Wuhan City, and went to the United States to study. Today, Liu Yifei is still an American citizen, but because of her studies and staying in the United States for a long time, her nationality has been changed to the United States. But she herself stressed that she was Chinese. Walking on the main street of Wuhan now, you can still see her art photos hanging in the photo studio. Before becoming an actor, Liu Yifei was also a well-known photography model in Wuhan.
Chen
Chen Xiao, who has just stepped out of the Chinese opera campus, has delicate facial features, a handsome appearance, and a little cynical eyes revealing a little melancholy and arrogance. And when he occasionally smiled, his resolute facial features instantly softened, as if he could smell the sunshine on him.
It is precisely because of Chen Xiao's uniqueness that he was favored by directors while still in school, starred in several dramas, TV series, and filmed many advertisements, and was selected by director Tsui Hark after graduating and signing a contract with Huayi, and performed "Di Renjie - Tongtian Empire" on the same stage with several popular stars.
