Liu Shishi (born March 10, 1987 in Beijing, China), also known by her English name Cecilia Liu, is a popular Chinese actress and ballerina. She first gained recognition through her breakout role as Ruoxi in the Chinese time-travel drama Scarlet Heart, and has since gone on to undertake more notable roles in television dramas and films.
Known as one of the New Four Dan Actresses, Liu is one of the highest paid TV actress in mainland China.
Having been trained in ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy, Liu Shishi made her acting debut in the television drama series The Moon and the Wind (2005) in a leading role. She then starred in The Young Warriors (2006) and The Fairies of Liaozhai (2007), receiving acclaim for her performances.
In 2007, Liu graduated from Beijing Dance Academy and was signed on by Tangren Media, successfully making her transition from a dancer to an actress. She then rose to fame for her role as Mu Nianci in The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2008).
Liu gained popularity after appearing in the popular wuxia-fantasy drama Chinese Paladin 3 (2009); her role as Long Kui in broke her previous typecasting as a "gentle, kind, and understanding maiden" and received positive reviews from critics and fans. She also started to gain recognition in Southeast Asia after the show was broadcast in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
The following year, Liu was cast in the drama A Weaver on the Horizon (2010), based on the life story of Huang Daopo. Originally cast in the role of the female protagonist Huang Qiao'er, Liu instead chose to portray the bratty princess Zhao Jiayi. Her portrayal of the character further boosted her acting acclaim, giving critics and audiences alike a taste of her versatility and growing competence in challenging roles.
