As of 2023, Li Lingyu is 60 years old.
Li Lingyu (李玲玉), born April 9, 1963 in Shanghai, China, and originally from Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, is a Chinese mainland singer and actress.
Li Lingyu was born in Shanghai to an ordinary working family with her parents and two older brothers, and attended Shanghai Hulin Middle School and Fudan Affiliated High School. When the Beijing Red Flag Yueju Opera Troupe came to Shanghai to recruit actors, Li Lingyu was one of the two selected out of more than 5,000 candidates. She was then sent to study at the Shengzhou School of Yueju Opera in Zhejiang province, where she specialized in the Xiao Sheng Xu School. She played Jia Baoyu in the Yueju opera Dream of the Red Chamber.
In 1983, the troupe was disbanded, and in the same year, by chance, Li Lingyu was not selected for the first time to take the examination of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. 1984, Li Lingyu applied for the examination of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe again, and the Troupe wanted to rehearse an Asian-African-Latin American song and dance party, and was short of an actor who could sing and dance well, so the troupe found Li Lingyu and gave her a tape to go back to practise, and she passed the examination successfully one week later, and was selected by the record company.
Li Lingyu was selected by a record producer and moved to the pop music scene.
