Zhao Liying
Zhao Liying was born on October 16, 1987 in Hebei, Langfang. The actress graduated from the Langfang Academy of Electronic Engineering - a professional training academy. Talking about this period, Zhao Liying has said:
"I grew up in a small village. It was my rural life experience that sharpened my will, giving me a tenacious and firm personality. Thanks to such experiences, I have become the person I am now. I believe your strong heart, the ongoing pursuit of your lifelong dream, your steadfastness, and perseverance in the profession that you are doing will make you become a hero".
In 2013, the actress starred in the historical drama "Legends of Lu Zhen"; in which she plays a normal girl that works very hard to become the country's first female PM. The movie became a domestic hit and also received great feedback in Japan and South Korea, leading to her global recognition. Zhao also won a lot of popularity and newcomer awards in local award festivals as a result.
In that same year, she continued to participate in another historical romance movie named "Palace - Lock Sinensis" - the last installment in the Gong series. Contrary to her nice and sweet image, she portrays an evil and scheming princess in the movie, which is considered her best breakthrough role.
