Zheng Shuang (Chinese: 郑爽, born 22 August 1991) is a Chinese actress. She rose to fame with her role as Chu Yuxun in Meteor Shower (2009–2010), becoming the youngest actress to be nominated for Best Actress at the China TV Golden Eagle Award. In 2011, she graduated from the Beijing Film Academy.[1] She was also chosen by Southern Metropolis Daily as one of the "Four Dan actresses of the post-90s Generation" (Chinese: 90后四小花旦), along with Zhou Dongyu, Guan Xiaotong and Yang Zi.[2]

Career

2009–2011: Rising popularity

Zheng Shuang made her debut in Meteor Shower, Hunan TV's remake of the hit Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden. The drama was a major hit in China,[3] and shot Zheng to fame in China. She also released a single, "Love Waltz" for the OST. Zheng was nominated for the Best Actress award at the 25th China TV Golden Eagle Award, becoming the youngest actress to be nominated.[4] Zheng also reunited with Meteor Shower co-star Hans Zhang in the action comedy film No Limit.[5]

Zheng then starred in Chen Kaige's fantasy film, Mural, which won her the Best New Actress award at the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Award for her performance.[6]

2012–2013: Career slump

Zheng's next few dramas failed to achieve commercial success. She twice portrayed Princess Taiping in historical dramas Secret History of Empress Wu and Secret History of Princess Taiping, and starred in The Queen of SOP 2, the sequel to the 2011 hit drama.[7][8][9]

2014–present: Career resurgence

Zheng regained success in the hit xianxia drama Swords of Legends (2014), where she played an adorable fox sprit. She won the Audience's Favorite Actress award at the 13th Huading Awards.[10]

Zheng then starred in her first period drama, The Cage of Love (2015) penned by famed writer Tong Hua.[11] She won the Best Actress award in the Revolutionary-Era drama category for her performance at the 19th Huading Awards.[12] The same year, she starred alongside Jing Boran in Love Weaves Through a Millennium, a remake of the South Korean drama Queen In-hyun's Man; and joined the travel-reality show Divas Hit the Road.[13][14] With her high press coverage and successful works, Zheng won the Popular Actress award at the 1st China Television Drama Quality Ceremony.[15]

In 2016, Zheng starred in the historical melodrama Chronicle of Life, based on the novel Lonely Courtyard in Late Spring by Fei Wo Si Cun.[16] She then co-starred with Yang Yang in youth romance drama Love O2O, based on the novel of the same name by Gu Man. The drama was a hit both domestically and internationally and following its run, Zheng experienced a rise in popularity.[17][18]

In 2017, Zheng starred alongside Cheney Chen in Rush to the Dead Summer, a youth melodrama adapted from Guo Jingming's novel of the same name.[19] She also co-starred in fantasy-adventure film Wu Kong, her first film in six years.[20] In 2018, Zheng starred alongside Luo Jin in the romance drama My Story for You.[21]

Among Zheng's upcoming works are romance melodrama Cry Me a Sad River alongside Ma Tianyu[22] and spy drama Masked co-starring Tong Dawei.[23] She was also announced to have participated in the creation of the script for science fiction romance drama Hi, I'm Saori, which she stars in.[24]
