Ni Ni (born 8 August 1988) is a Chinese actress best known for her role as Yu Mo in the 2011 film The Flowers of War directed by Zhang Yimou. Along with actresses Angelababy, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, Ni Ni was chosen as the one of the New Four Dan Actresses in 2013.
Ni was born in Nanjing and graduated from the Communication University of China, specializing in television broadcasting and hosting.
Ni made her debut in Zhang Yimou's The Flowers of War, playing the lead female character "Yu Mo".
Zhang and his team started seeking cast members in 2007. As The Flowers of War is set in 1937 Nanjing, Zhang hoped to find a native actress to star in his film. Ni was eventually chosen, and became a new "Mou girl" like Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. She received acclaim for her performance in the film and rose to fame. Producer Zhang Weiping spoke highly of her: "Born in 1988, she is young, yet her grasp of the figure is definitely accurate."
