Mi Yang

Mi Yang (known in Chinese as Yangmi), born in Beijing China, as the only child in her family. With both of her parents' family names of Yang, she was named Mi which means the mathematical term 'power' in Chinese. Her audiences are usually attracted by her huge, wet eyes and pale alabaster skin. While she is still young in show business, she began her career at the age of 4. In 1990, historical drama director Jialin Chen found Yang's talent in acting and offered her a role in the TV series Tang Ming Emperor as the little princess. Then, in the same year, she showed her face in the Stephen Chow's movie, "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi-er" as Chow's daughter. In the next few years, she accepted roles in some TV series then quit performing for about 10 years. She remembers little of her childhood performing experiences. Yang had an innocent time in her teens and developed hobbies of drawing and writing poems. At 17, while still in high school, she came back to show business as a professional. In 2004, she played the role of 'Guo Xiang' (aka the little devil from the east), a girl of simplicity, in the TV series, "Return of the Condor Heroes" (aka Shen Diao Xia Lu) adapted from as famous Chinese swordsmen novel. This role left a very deep impression on audiences and re-established her career. Yang likes living in a natural way, talking straightforward and hiding no emotions, which leaves her with few scandals. She entered the Performance Institute of Beijing Film Academy in the next year. In 2007, Yang re-cooperated with director Jialin Chen and acted as Zhaojun Wang, described as one of ancient China's 'Four Beauties' involved in legendary political struggles. Her turning point in her performing career was the radiant role as a naughty and spoiled noble girl in the TV show, "Chinese Paladin III" (2009) (aka Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan III), which won her a positive public reputation. In another blockbuster TV show, "Hong Lou Meng" (2009) (aka A Dream of the Red Mansions) which was adapted from what is arguably China's greatest literary masterpiece, Yang acted as a servant girl, Qingwen, who dares to fight against fate and feudal rules, which is a significant role in the book.
