Yang Mi childhood photos resurface from debut film

Rare behind-the-scenes photographs of Chinese actress Yang Mi have resurfaced, dating back to her screen debut in the historical drama ‘Tang Ming Huang’. The images were shared by a former co-star who was seven years old at the time of filming, while Yang Mi was only three.

The former co-star, who chose an ordinary life over a career in entertainment after the production, described how the two youngest actors on set spent their time playing among the miniature palace sets and props. The shared memories include a commemorative photo with the director and a picture taken by Liu Wei outside a dressing room.

Netizens have reacted enthusiastically to the photos, noting the resemblance between the actress's childhood appearance and her current look as a prominent figure in the Chinese entertainment industry.
