Early experiences

Jia Ling was born in a family of four in Dashan, Hubei Province, from a poor family.[2] In 1994, she studied acting for two years in Wuhan Art School.[3] In 2000, she applied for the acting major of the Central Academy of Drama and was finally successful. In 2001, she applied for the Drama Performance and Cross Talk Performance of the Central Academy of Drama at the same time. Although both majors were admitted, due to the mistaken selection of her mother Li Huanying, Jia Ling finally could only enroll in the college class of cross talk performance.[4]

After graduation, Jia Ling was unable to receive cross talk performance work because of her female status, so she began to work everywhere, making a living by working as a part-time host, script creator, temporary assistant to the artist, and the assistance of her sister Jia Dan. In 2005, she was admitted to the China Broadcasting Art Troupe and became a student under Feng Gong.[5]
