Zhou Xun (born October 18, 1974) is a Chinese actress and singer. She is regarded as one of the "Four Dan actresses" (四大花旦) in the early 2000s, along with Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei and Zhao Wei.
Zhou was born to a middle-class family in Quzhou, Zhejiang. Her father, Zhou Tianning (simplified Chinese: 周天宁; traditional Chinese: 周天寧; pinyin: Zhōu Tiānníng), was a local film projectionist, and her mother, Chen Yiqin (simplified Chinese: 陈以琴; traditional Chinese: 陳以琴; pinyin: Chén Yǐqín), was a salesperson at a department store. Zhou enrolled at the Zhejiang Arts Institute to further her interest in dramatic arts, against the wishes of her parents, who wanted her to graduate from a university. She was handpicked for a role in the film Strange Tales Amongst Old and Desolate Tombs during her teenage years in school.
