Early life
Wan Qian was born in Heshan District, Yiyang, Hunan.[3] She was heavily influenced by her father when she was young. During her childhood, her father always took her to practice vocally, cultivating her love of singing.[citation needed]
A haphazard chance made her enroll into the acting undergraduate program at the Shanghai Theatre Academy (STA). During her student life at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, she represented STA as the leading actress to join the international theatre festivals that were held in Romania, Hong Kong and the United States. After graduation, she was recruited into a record company in Beijing.[citation needed]
Personal life
On 9 November 2017, Wan Qian gave birth to her daughter in Shanghai. She also posted a short video on Weibo and officially announced it on 10 November 2017.[4]
