Life and career

Xie was born in Huangpi, Hubei, China and grew up in Shanghai. Both of her parents were teachers at a Christian school. Her parents became increasingly involved with the Communist Party of China; this would influence her career by acting in more "revolutionary" plays like The White Haired Girl.[1] She graduated from an all-girls' high school in 1951, and started acting shortly after. She joined acting troupe SOUTH backstage and began singing in the opera. Xie married in 1957.[2] In 1959, Xie starred in Song of Youth; this was her break out role. She signed with Beijing Film Studio in 1963.[3] Xie, then, would star in the Xie Jin film Two Stage Sisters in 1964. She was the recipient of the Golden Phoenix Award in 1995 for her contributions to Chinese cinema.[4]

In addition to being an actress, Xie is also an author.
