Jackson Yee

Born on November 28, 2000, in Huaihua, Hunan Province, Jackson Yee (Yi Yangqianxi) is a monumental figure in Chinese entertainment, recognized as the first actor born after 2000 to surpass ¥20 billion in cumulative box office earnings. He first captured the public's imagination in 2013 as the youngest member and lead dancer of the boy band TFBoys, a group that defined a decade of Mandopop. Despite his massive idol status, Yee pursued a rigorous path in classical training, graduating with the highest honors from the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing. His transition from pop stardom to high-art cinema was solidified by his leading role in the Oscar-nominated Better Days (2019), which won him Best New Performer at the Hong Kong Film Awards and established his reputation for "active dismantling" of idol limitations in favor of raw, vulnerable performances. Throughout the early 2020s, Yee dominated both the box office and the awards circuit with a string of critical successes, including A Little Red Flower (2020), where he played a cancer patient, and the historical epic The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021). In November 2025, he made history as the youngest Best Actor winner in the history of the Golden Rooster Awards for his transformative portrayal of a young man with cerebral palsy in the film Big World (also known as Xiao Xiao De Wo). Beyond acting, Yee is a celebrated dancer—serving as a captain on Street Dance of China—and a philanthropist who established the "Jackson Yee Fund" at age 17 to support "left-behind" children in rural China. In Bi Gan’s 2025 masterpiece Resurrection, Jackson Yee delivers a tour-de-force performance by playing the Deliriant, a shapeshifting protagonist who reincarnates through five distinct historical eras. Throughout the film's chapters, he embodies a silent-era "monster," a 1920s criminal named Qiu Moyun, an art thief named Mongrel, a con artist named Jia Shengjun, and finally Apollo, a 1990s hoodlum. His performance is particularly noted for its physical versatility, as he navigates different cinematic styles ranging from Expressionist horror to neon-lit contemporary noir. This role at the 78th Cannes Film Festival cemented his status as a "cinephile's actor," moving beyond the commercial mainstream into the vanguard of global avant-garde cinema.
