Liu Jingyu
BIOGRAPHY
Liu Jingyu (刘竞屿, also written 劉競嶼) is a Chinese actor born on 12 January 2005. He plays Xu Changyang, a free-spirited young tea farmer, in A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills’ Dream (寒阳风起春山境), his first credited role.
It is a leading part. The series ran sixteen episodes of roughly forty-five minutes, from 12 June to 21 August 2026, and he appears in all sixteen as one of the two leads, opposite Kuma (Xiong Yiwen) as the burnt-out celebrity Feng Qinglang. That amounts to roughly twelve hours of screen time, and he was twenty-one when the series premiered.
The story puts a famous actor on a remote tea mountain, escaping the industry that made him, and a young man who has spent his life farming there. Xu Changyang is the half of the pairing rooted in the land: unhurried, untamed, and not impressed. The series was written and directed by Lizzy, credited on screen as ZELIA, produced by Jia Lan Shan Ying, and released internationally by GagaOOLala with subtitles in eleven languages.
Liu Jingyu was born in January 2005 and his first credited screen role is a lead in a sixteen-episode series.
The series went out in a staggered pattern: four episodes together at launch on 12 June 2026, then Fridays, with double releases on Saturday 25 July and Saturday 1 August, and the finale on 21 August 2026.
Its international release carries subtitles in eleven languages, including French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Hindi, and an official soundtrack was released to Spotify.
His name is written in simplified characters as 刘竞屿 and in traditional characters as 劉競嶼, which are the same name in two scripts.
His whole screen record sits inside a single ten-week window, from 12 June to 21 August 2026, so every episode of that run is also an episode of his career. Because he appears in all sixteen, each release, including the four-episode launch and the two double-release Saturdays, brought new material from him. He works under a writer-director, Lizzy, who shaped both his character and the world around it, and opposite a co-lead who plays the reverse figure: Xu Changyang stays in place on the mountain while Feng Qinglang arrives from outside.
In my view a debut that is also a sixteen episode lead makes the choice of what to watch simple: there is one title, and it shows everything he has done on screen so far. What I would look for is how Xu Changyang holds his ground scene after scene across the full run.
