Early life and education

edit

Wu was born in Chengdu, Sichuan. She began studying ballet at the age of 3. In 2000, she moved from her hometown to train at the Dance School Affiliated to Beijing Dance Academy, working to become a professional ballerina. After 7 years of boarding school, Wu joined the National Ballet of China,[1] where she suffered repeated fractures in her feet. Wu later reported that these injuries caused her to pursue a different career to ballet.[a] In 2009, Wu entered Beijing Film Academy, majoring in acting.[4]

At the Affiliated school, Wu once had a chance to become an actress. The director even invited Wu's parents to persuade her to participate. But the role needed to shave the head, which would affect the dance presentation, she finally gave up this opportunity.[5]
