"She was born for the camera," said a photographer who shot Liu Yifei's picture when she was only eight.
Over the past year, Liu, an 18-year-old Chinese American, has shot to fame while playing Wang Yuyan in
Jin Yong‘s "Eightfold Path of the Heavenly Dragon" (《天龙八部》). Millions of teenagers have been drawn in
by her light smile and beautiful long hair. Many magazines have described her as one of the most charming
young actresses of 2004. People say that Liu will be even bigger this year.
"She is so beautiful on TV. She has the special character to give flesh and blood to the fairy-like and
beautiful Wang Yuyan," said Yang Mingwei, a Senior 2 boy and Liu’s fan from Wuyi High School in Fujian.
Currently Liu is filming the TV series"The Return of the Condor Heroes" (《神雕侠侣》), another Jin
Yong novel. In the show to be aired this year, Liu plays the Little Dragon Girl.
Liu is now a grade three student at the Beijing Film Academy, the star factory of China. But some people
say that her success is only down to her beauty. When she returned to China with her mother at the age of
14, she did originally work as a model. It was when a director saw her picture on an advertisement board on
the street that her opportunity to work in TV arose.
"A pretty face does not last forever. To be a good actress you must work hard and have a professional
attitude," Liu said. Every day she spends hours practising all the kungfu kicks and punches for the show.
"There have been times during filming when I have remained hanging in the air on wires for half a day
as the director keeps trying to get the perfect take," said Liu recently.
