Biography

Xu was born on 27 February 1998, in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China. She was interested in drawing and wished to publish an illustrated book or comic that documented her life when she was young. She took the art exam and was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, later graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in animation production. During her university years, she was recommended for a film audition and discovered by action film actor Jackie Chan. She starred in My Diary, an art film directed by Chan, in 2018. She signed with an artist agency and debuted as an actress in the same year. In 2020, Xu was once again invited by Jackie Chan to star in a lead role as Fareeda, the daughter of a terrorist organization accountant, in the action thriller film Vanguard. The same year, she starred in a lead role in the Mango TV romance web series Perfect and Casual.

In 2022, Xu was cast as the female lead in Luo Luo's romance film Almost Love [zh], starring alongside Li Wenhan as a pair of long-dated high school sweethearts. She also starred in the web series Out with a Bang and Catch Up My Prince in the same year. In 2023, she received another breakout performance in the romance series The Forbidden Flower. She portrayed He Yan, a dying artist who fell in love with a down-and-out man years older than her played by Jerry Yan. Xu's natural performance and onscreen chemistry with Yan were positively received. In 2024, Xu participated in the second season of Memories Beyond Horizon [zh], an acting-themed contesting variety show, as one of the contestants.
