Personal Life

Liu Shishi born March 10, 1987 in Beijing, China, sometimes refer to her by her English name, Cecilia Liu, is a Chinese actress and ballerina.
Having been trained in ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy, Liu made her acting debut on the television drama series The Moon and the Wind (2005) in a leading role. She received acclaim for her performances in The Young Warriors (2006) and The Fairies of Liaozhai (2007). She rose to fame for her role as Mu Nianci in The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2008), and was cast as her character's descendant in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber (2009). Her role as Long Kui in Chinese Paladin 3 broke her previous typecasting as a "gentle, kind, and understanding maiden" and in A Weaver on the Horizon as the Song Dynasty's princess, Zhao Jiayi. The portrayal for her character's growth from juvenile unruliness to maturity and courage gave both fans and critics a taste of her versatility and growing competence in challenging roles.  2011 saw Liu hit the jackpot with two successful dramas. She played the thief Yan Sanniang with aplomb in the wuxia action drama The Vigilantes In Masks. She donned the part of Ma'ertai Ruoxi (Zhang Xiao) in the critical and commercial time travel hit Scarlet Heart. Liu also made her singing debut for the soundtrack of Scarlet Heart. Her feature film debut in the inspirational The Next Magic (2011), directed by Taiwanese filmmaker Zhuo Li, saw a transition from her usual genre of historical drama. Liu is also starring in the forthcoming 2012 romance drama series An Angel's Happiness .  She is contracted with the Chinese Entertainment Shanghai Limited.
