Su Xing (simplified Chinese: 苏醒; traditional Chinese: 蘇醒; pinyin: Sū Xǐng; Allen Su; born March 5, 1984) is a Chinese singer, songwriter and actor. He took the 2nd place in the 2007 Super Boy 快乐男声contest, which was a national singing contest for young male contestants held by Hunan Satellite Television. Although he was only 23 years old while participating in the contest, Allen appeared much more sophisticated than many other young men of his age. After winning second place in the contest, he released his first EP, including six brand new songs, of which two of them were written by Allen himself.
Born in Xi'an, the capital city of northwestern China's Shaanxi province, Allen Su had always been an excellent student since childhood. When he was 17 years old, his parents sent him to Sydney to pursue his study. Allen managed to study business at Macquarie University with an excellent IELTS Score of 8.5, but soon he realized that he was not interested in business and what he really goes in for is music, so he transferred to SAE College Sydney to study in digital media. Allen came back to China to take part in the 2007 Super Boy contest with the simple thought of meeting people who could introduce him to record companies to help start his career, after the contest he went back to Sydney to finish his study, and achieved the Bachelor of Digital Media in 2008.

Although Ms Miao was not a specialist in arts, dancing and singing were among her many accomplishments. According to Ms Miao, Allen had learned piano for several months in his childhood and his tuitor appreciated his talent, but he ended his courses for little Allen was too restless to sit by the piano for hours, at that time he enjoyed playing football instead of the piano.
