Early life and education

[edit]

Born in 1992, Yang attended a kindergarten in Wuhan before moving to Shenzhen, where she finished fifth grade and skipped directly to junior high school. In the second year of junior high school, she was one of the city's top three students and the only one in her whole grade. In March 2007, she served as the host of the 2nd National Primary and Secondary School Art Exhibition and Awards Gala finals hosted by the Ministry of Education.[5][6][7][8]

After graduating from middle school, she moved to the United States where she continued with her high school education. In 2011, Yang was accepted to the University of Southern California, Boston University and other five universities in the United States for major in media, but chose to return to China where she applied for admission as a foreign candidate at the Beijing Film Academy. She was successfully admitted to the Performance Department and actress Zhou Dongyu was in her same class. During her time at the Beijing Film Academy, she served as a freshman class representative of the Performance Department and bilingual host of the 10th Beijing Film Academy International Student Film Festival in 2011.[9][10]

After she graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 2017, Yang received an offer of admission from Columbia University for MFA, making her the third Chinese candidate to receive admission at the MFA program in Columbia University. But she declined the admission in order to pursue her acting career.[11]

In the film, she played the role of Lin Dingding and for her performance, she received the Best Supporting Actress Award at the first Marianas International Film Festival in Saipan.[16][17][18]

In 2018, she starred alongside Li Chen and Wang Qianyuan in the adventure suspense TV drama Seven Days. In 2020, she starred in the film Only Cloud Knows, which was also directed by Feng Xiaogang.[19][20]
