Bio
Ziyi's first appearance on screen was also her first star turn - while still a student the prestigious China Central Drama College, she was offered the lead in Zhang Yimou's 1998 film "The Road Home." Set at the beginning of China's “Cultural Revolution” in the 1950s, the film is a beautifully shot, intimate account of a young girl's first love. “The Road Home” was awarded the Grand Jury Silver Bear at the 2000 Berlin Film Festival.
Ziyi Zhang was brought up in a middle class family in Beijing. Her father is a government economist and her mother a retired kindergarten teacher. She also has an elder brother, Zhang Zinan. At the age of 11 she began a 6-year study of folk and modern dance training at the Beijing Dance Academy. After graduating, she decided to switch career paths. On a lark, she went for an entrance exam at the prestigious China Central Drama College and was accepted right away.
