Crystal Liu Yi Fei was born in Beijing but spent her childhood mostly in Wuhan. Her father was a university professor while her mother a famous dancer and stage performer.
Liu Yi Fei was already modeling since 8 years old. A talented kid which was musically inclined that involves playing the piano, singing and dancing.
After the divorce of her birth parents, Yi Fei flew over to USA with her mother at the age of 10. Yi Fei only came back to China in 2002, where she was accepted into the prestigious Beijing Film Academy at the tender age of 15.
Just shortly after Yi Fei got into Beijing Film Academy in 2002, she received chances to star in a TV drama, “Story of a Noble Family”.
Liu Yi Fei then got her leading role in “Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils”, a swordfighting drama based on the legendary Jin Yong novel.
Yi Fei's age was a worry to many as neutrals were concerned about the performance she can produce, but she proved her critics wrong by showing them her maturity was beyond her age.
Liu Yi Fei starred in her first movie “Love of May” in 2003, followed by another movie “The Love Winner” in 2004.
It was however Crystal’s acting in another popular TV drama, “Chinese Paladin” in 2004 that made Yi Fei a superstar in China.
Chinese Paladin was adapted from a popular RPG game and both the TV drama and game were superhit in China. Yi Fei played the leading role ‘Ling Er’ and Ling-Er has became her nickname soon after. :)
In 2005/2006, Yi Fei made her fame as international superstar as ‘Xiao Long Nu’ in the drama "Return of the condor heroes". Its one of the best drama that really portray her talent.
Liu Yi Fei is becoming a singer too, she signed a record contract in August 2005 and has been learning singing and dancing in Japan and China since then. Yi Fei has released her first Japanese single in July 2006 and released her debut Chinese album in September the same year.
Crystal Liu decided to take a break from entertainment world in early 2007 to pursue her study in USA… but her plan was interrupted because she has the chance to act along side Jackie Chan and Jet Li in "The forbidden Kingdom".
To me, Yi Fei is a very pretty, girl-next-door, demure girl. The kind of girl every guy will die to bring home to show to their parents!
Shes only 20 and she has alot more to offer to her fans - me! Hopefully over time she'll get popular.. i'm always supporting u Yi fei!!
