BIOGRAPHY of Liu Yi Fei
Crystal Liu Yifei is a Chinese actress and singer who was born on 25th of August , 1987 at Tongji hospital in Wuhan, China. Although she is often credited as Liu Yi Fei (Traditional Chinese: 劉亦菲; Simplified Chinese: 刘亦菲), her legal name is Liu Qian Mei Zi (Traditional Chinese: 劉茜美子; Simplified Chinese: 刘茜美子), while her birth name is An Feng (Traditional Chinese: 安風; Simplified Chinese: 安风).
Yifei's father works as a university professor while her mother was a dancer and a stage performer. After her parents separated, Yifei lived with her mother, Liu Xiao Li (刘晓莉) and her name was changed to Liu Qian Mei Zi. She was seven-year-old then.
Af the young age of eight, Yifei began modelling and she was trained in singing, dancing and piano. On her ninth birthday, Yifei received a crystal from her mom as a birthday present. She loved it so much that she decided to call herself "Crystal." Since then, Yifei has been collecting Swarovski crystal as a hobby.
When Yifei was eleven, she moved to the United States of America with her mother. She lived there in New York for four years. She returned to China in June 2002 to pursue an acting career and adopted her stage name Liu Yi Fei. In September 2002, she was accepted into the Performance Institute of Beijing Film Academy at the age of fourteen and a half, making her the youngest student the school has ever had . She graduated from the Beijing Film Academy in July 2006.
Immediately after her admittance into Beijing Film Academy, Yifei received offers to star in various television drama serials. Her first role on television was in “Jin Fen Shi Jia” (金粉世家) i.e. "The Story of a Noble Family." Shortly after, she was chosen to portray the role of "Wang Yuyan" in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils ((Tian Long Ba Bu - 天龙八部), a drama based on the book by the acclaimed wuxia writer, Jinyong. It was this role that established her fame in China.
In 2003, Liu Yi Fei starred in her first movie “Love of May” ((Wu yue zhi lian - 五月之恋)) but it was through her starring role in the television drama, "Chinese Paladin" in 2004 that made her a household name in China. "Chinese Paladin" was adapted from a very popular role-playing video game.
In 2006, Yifei starred in another CCTV television production based on a very famous book written by Jinyong, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" (Shen diao xia lu - 神雕侠侣). After intense speculation on who would get the role of "Xiaolongnü", the part was finally offered to Yifei. She was backed by Jinyong, who felt that she had all the necessary qualities to play the role of the young and innocent "Xiaolongnü". "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is a popular hit across Asia, from China to Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Philippine.
Liu Yi Fei is becoming a household name and one of the most popular contemporary young artists in China. Sony Music Japan seized the opportunity to sign her up for a recording contract in August 2005 and since then Yifei lived in Japan for one year to study singing, dancing and Japanese language. She released her first single "Mayonaka no Doa" (真夜中のドア) with Sony Music on July 19, 2006. Yifei's first Mandarin album "Liu Yifei" was released on the 5th of September, 2006. Her Japanese album "All My Words" was released a day after on the 6th of September, 2006.
Liu Yi fei is currently studying in the United States of America (Standford University) <--- 30 minutes from where I live.
