Jackson Yee (Chinese: 易烊千玺; pinyin: Yi Yangqianxi; born 28 November 2000) is a Chinese actor and singer who graduated from The Central Academy of Drama. Already a major star across Asia by 13, Yee gained international recognition with his film debut Better Days (2019), which was Oscar-nominated. Filmed at 17, the role earned him numerous Best Newcomer awards. He went on to star in a string of record-breaking hits, including A Little Red Flower (2020), The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021, China’s highest-grossing live-action film), Nice View (2022), Full River Red (the highest-grossing Asian film of 2023), Scare Out (2026) and Big World (2024, a micro-budget hit). His engagement with challenging, auteur-oriented works continues with projects such as Cannes-winning Resurrection (2025). Across eight leading roles, Yee’s films have grossed over US$3 billion worldwide with 500 million admissions. Jackson Yee’s leading projects have exceeded RMB 100 million in pre-sales for eight consecutive years, including Resurrection (2025), excluding previews. He has received Best Actor nominations from all of China’s major film awards and became the youngest Golden Rooster winner at age 24. Widely regarded as the leading figure in contemporary Chinese cinema, Yee is noted for his charisma, versatility, and ability to navigate both commercial and arthouse filmmaking. He topped the Forbes China Celebrity List in 2020 and 2021 before its discontinuation.
