It’s not every day that a 17-year-old actress smashes the entrance exams for China’s top acting school—while balancing a rising screen career.
But that’s exactly what Huang Yang Tian Tian has done.
Born on 9 July 2007, Tian Tian just placed sixth nationwide in the super competitive entrance test for the Beijing Film Academy. Sixth. In the whole country. No big deal, right?
Fans first met her as the younger version of Chu Qiao in the hit drama Princess Agents.
And now?
She’s stepping confidently into leading lady territory, and producers are definitely taking notice.
Together with fellow young actress Ai Mi, Tian Tian’s fast becoming one of the key faces of the post-2005 generation.
They’re everywhere lately—trailers, dramas, trending clips—and people are talking.
That said, not all of the buzz has been positive.
There’s a bit of chat about the age difference between these teenage actresses and their much older co-stars in romantic scenes.

Some viewers think it’s a bit off when a 17-year-old plays love interests with someone a decade older.
Tian Tian’s team seems to have heard the noise.
For now, she’s stepping away from filming to focus on something even bigger—the Gaokao. Yep, that college entrance exam everyone in China fears.
She’s made it clear she’s not taking it lightly.
“Maybe people think that as an arts student, I don’t need to take it seriously—but I do,” she said.
“My family values education a lot.”
Respect. In a world where fame can go to your head fast, Tian Tian’s staying grounded.
No flashy distractions. Just schoolbooks, tutors, and a laser-sharp goal to nail that Gaokao in June.
Her fans are totally behind her.
Even though she’s not taking on new acting gigs at the moment, everyone’s buzzing about her confirmed return as the grown-up Chu Qiao in the long-awaited sequel, Rebirth.
The girl’s got brains, talent, and charm—and she’s still just 17. No wonder she’s got the whole country watching.
