She received her education at the Communication University of China and the New York University Tisch School of the Arts, academic foundations that supported her rise as a versatile performer often associated with "bold" and socially resonant projects. Maayan made her cinematic debut in Lou Ye’s controversial 2006 film Summer Palace and gained further recognition for her role as a young masseuse in the 2007 film Lost in Beijing.

Throughout her career, Maayan has become a frequent collaborator with some of the most acclaimed directors of the modern era.

More recently, she starred in the 2023 film Only the River Flows, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and appeared in the popular television series Blossoms Shanghai. In Bi Gan's 2025 science fiction feature Resurrection, she plays the character of the Serving Girl, joining a high-profile cast that includes Jackson Yee and Shu Qi. Beyond acting, Maayan has ventured into directing and writing, most notably with her 2013 short film Blue & Purple, reflecting an artistic philosophy that values creative independence and complex character studies.
