The Chinese actor Yi Yangqianxi, known as Jackson Yee, became the youngest winner of the best actor of Golden Rooster Awards history at the age of 24, thanks to his performance as Liu Chunhe in Big World. Yi won the award on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of Chinese cinema, which added symbolic weight to the trophy. For Yi, the experience offered something beyond the industry recognition.

Taking on such a role meant confronting and discarding that comfort zone, but Yi did not hesitate to challenge his public image.
