Jackson Yee Becomes the Youngest Best Actor in the History of the Golden Rooster Awards, China's Oscar

At just 24 years old, Jackson Yee has broken the record previously held by actor Liu Ye (who won at the age of 26 in 2004). This achievement makes him the first actor from the 2000s generation to receive this prestigious award

This historic victory confirms Jackson Yee's status as one of the brightest young actors, after being nominated four times for the Golden Rooster Awards and finally bringing home the Best Actor trophy this year.

Jackson Yee's victory is attributed to his outstanding performance in the film BIG WORLD. In this drama film, Jackson plays the character Liu Chunhe, a teenager with cerebral palsy who struggles hard to overcome his physical limitations.

As proof of his dedication, Jackson is known to have undergone intensive preparation for this role. He studied the lives of individuals with cerebral palsy, even performing difficult scenes without a stunt double to ensure his acting was authentic and touching.

His debut leading role in the film BETTER DAYS (2019) instantly catapulted his name in the Asian film scene. In this film about teenage bullying, Jackson starred alongside actress Zhou Dongyu and impressed international critics.

His performance in BETTER DAYS even earned him the Best Newcomer award at the Hong Kong Film Awards 2020 and others. The film also became a global hit and was nominated for the Oscar for International Film, affirming Jackson's acting talent from a young age.

In the following years, Jackson continued to prove that he is not just an ordinary teenage idol. He starred in the family drama film A LITTLE RED FLOWER (2020), which was a huge success and brought tears to the eyes of Chinese audiences. Then, Jackson was involved in the epic film project The Battle at Lake Changjin (2021) as one of the main cast members. This colossal war film about the Korean War made history as the highest-grossing Chinese film of all time, with box office earnings exceeding 5.7 billion yuan.

Throughout his career, Jackson Yee has carved out many achievements and gained high recognition in the Chinese entertainment industry. At the age of 24, he has ranked #1 twice in the Forbes China Celebrity 100 (in 2020 and 2021), making him the youngest celebrity to ever top that list. From a commercial perspective, Jackson's popularity is also extraordinary: the total box office earnings of all the films he has starred in have surpassed 10 billion yuan in China.
