Zhou Jie was born in Fengxian, Shanghai in December 1961. She has been very cute since she was a young girl and has shown her super talent in dancing.

Fortunately, several teachers finally let Zhou Jie enter the Shanghai Song and Dance Theater after reporting and discussing with the leaders.
Since the age of 15, Zhou Jie has been known as the "dancing elf" and has starred in "Half Screen Mountain", "Fengming Qishan", "Small Sword Society", and "Magnolia Fragrance".

Fortunately, this year's "calendar celebrity" did not disappoint the big directors from Hong Kong. The play is very emotional and very brilliant. Zhou Jie suffered a lot when she acted in a movie for the first time. But she said that most of the hard work can't be remembered.

In order to gain weight, she learned from sumo athletes, who eat eight or nine eggs every day, and she must drink a bowl of thick old hen soup before going to bed at night; she does not go anywhere, lying in the house every day. In just two weeks, Zhou Jie literally gained 20 or 30 kilograms of fat. On the day the play was finished, "Princess Yang" refused to eat, so she quickly lost weight.

Every November 20th is designated as "Zhou Jie Dance School Day"; in 2002, Zhou Jie returned to Shanghai to set up the first branch school, and later enrolled more than 2,000 students each year.
