He Yanzhao
BIOGRAPHY
He Yanzhao (simplified Chinese: 何衍朝, pinyin: Hé Yǎnzhāo; born April 27, 2000), also known as Heihei (黑黑) and romanized as He Yanchao, is a Chinese actor and musician from Huizhou, Guangdong. He graduated from the Xinghai Conservatory of Music, where he trained in singing and violin. He made his acting debut in 2020 in the WeTV series Cross Fire, followed by supporting roles in Jin Secretary (2023) and Dear Passenger (2024), then leading roles in Fei Hu Cheng Feng and Gentle Wind (2025). In 2026 he starred as the triad enforcer Xia Liuyi in the Hong Kong-set BL drama Sammy’s Children’s Day, opposite He Changxi, and contributed to the show’s soundtrack.
BLGLFlix editorial view
The production is set in Hong Kong. For a mainland actor with six years of ordinary television behind him, that detail is not scenery.
He Yanzhao trained at the Xinghai Conservatory in singing and violin, debuted in 2020 on WeTV’s Cross Fire, and worked his way up through Jin Secretary and Dear Passenger into leads in Fei Hu Cheng Feng and Gentle Wind. Then, in 2026, Xia Liuyi, a triad enforcer, in Sammy’s Children’s Day, distributed through GagaOOLala, Viki and YouTube rather than a mainland platform.
Actors at his stage usually have something to protect. Taking a BL lead is a calculation about which audience matters more, and the answer is increasingly the international one, because that is where the distribution is. The conservatory training also gets used: he contributed to the show’s soundtrack rather than only appearing in it.
His agency changed in February 2026, from Wanhe Tianyi to EASTONE Entertainment, and both are recorded here because both appear in credits. A representation history is one of the few things about a Chinese actor that can be verified at all, so where it exists this site keeps it rather than showing only the current name.
