    Early life and education

    Wu Chin-yi (traditional Chinese: 吳靜怡; simplified Chinese: 吴静怡; pinyin: Wú Jìngyí; Wade–Giles: Wu2 Ching4-yi1) was born on March 4, 1968, in Taipei, Taiwan, the youngest of seven daughters of Yang Shu-wan (traditional Chinese: 楊淑婉; simplified Chinese: 杨淑婉; pinyin: Yáng Shūwǎn; Wade–Giles: Yang2 Shu2-wan3) and Wu Min (traditional Chinese: 吳敏; simplified Chinese: 吴敏; pinyin: Wú Mǐn; Wade–Giles: Wu2 Min3). Her mother is from Keelung and her father is from Shandong. Her father divorced her mother to married another woman who gave him a boy, her half-brother Wu Pu-hui (traditional Chinese: 吳不悔; simplified Chinese: 吴不悔; pinyin: Wú Bùhuǐ; Wade–Giles: Wu2 Pu2-hui3; lit. 'no regrets').

    During her childhood, she was sent to study in a primary school at Hong Kong to learn English. Then, she moved to Japan to live with her mother and her step-father 伊能祥光, a Japanese man from the Ryukyu Islands. She took her step-father's surname and took a Japanese name "Shizuka Inoh" (Japanese: 伊能 静江, romanized: Inō Shizuka). She lived in Tokyo, Japan for six years and studied at Tokyo Chinese School.

    After returning to Taiwan in 1988, she took the stage name "Yi Nengjing" (traditional Chinese: 伊能靜; simplified Chinese: 伊能静; pinyin: Yī Néngjìng), by simplifying her Japanese name dropping the last character. In 2010, she was selected as a judge for the television series China's Got Talent.

    Personal life

    On February 14, 2000, Yi married Taiwanese singer Harlem Yu in the United States. They had dated for 14 years. On March 20, 2009, the Yi and Yu officially issued a divorce statement, ending their eight-year marriage. From this marriage, Yi had a son Harrison Yu (Chinese: 庾翰睿; pinyin: Yǔ Hànruì) born on 16 March 2002 in the United States.

    On March 21, 2015, Yi married Chinese actor Qin Hao in Phuket, Thailand. Yi gave birth to their daughter Cindy Qin (Chinese: 秦伊皓; pinyin: Qín Yīhào) in 2016 in the United States.

    On 25 September 2013, Yi announced that she adopted Xia Junfeng's son Xia Jianqiang (Chinese: 夏健強; pinyin: Xià Jiànqiáng) as her godson and his wife Zhang Jing (simplified Chinese: 张晶; traditional Chinese: 張晶; pinyin: Zhāng Jīng) as her blood sister.

    Controversy

    In 2019, Annie Yi removed her social media post promoting the teachings of Indian godman Kalki Bhagwan after the Chinese Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and China Anti-Cult Association (CACA) issued a warning about the Oneness cult's activities in the state run media Global Times.[3][4]
