Kunjue Li

Kunjue was born in Danling, a village near the mountainous region of southern China (Sichuan). Growing up she was a tom-boy and leader of the pack amongst her play-friends and started horse riding at the age of five. Her family moved to the city when Kunjue was 10 years old for a better education and she stared dancing and took up taekwondo training until she was 15. Kunjue was sent to to UK by her family to study at the prestigious London School of Economics obtaining a BSc in Economics and a Masters degree in International Relations. Kunjue had always wanted to be an actress ever since she was a little - but growing up in a very traditional Chinese family that was never a choice. So Kunjue saved up until she could quit her job and auditioned without her family knowing and won a place at the coveted Drama Studio London. She completed her Masters degree in Acting and signed with her first U.K. agent in 2013. Since then she has worked on BBC dramas including Ripper Street, Peaky Blinde
