He Was Raised By His Grandparents

Born in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China, on April 19, 1989, Simu Liu attended the University of Toronto for high school. He then studied Business Administration at the Ivey Business School at the University of Western Ontario.

Liu was born during Deng Xiaoping’s dictatorship, during a period in the country’s history when it was extremely difficult for nationals to leave. However, both of his parents received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue graduate studies at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada.

Simu Liu’s parents made the difficult decision to leave him in Harbin to be raised by his grandparents. They worked for five years to provide a stable environment for him before bringing him to his new home in Canada.

As mentioned before, Simu Liu was a business student. Before pursuing his career in the entertainment industry, he worked as an accountant. In addition, the talented actor was fired from Deloitte. He faced a lot and worked really hard to reach where he is now.

It was hard for him to convince his parents, as his parents felt like he was throwing his life away. He had a lot of arguments with them.

Later, his parents realized that he was serious about a career in acting. Liu began acting and modeling in 2012, with tiny gigs such as commercials, stock pictures, and dressing up as Spider-Man for a birthday celebration.

The amazing actor endured periods of frustration and self-doubt when there was no work or performing opportunities. During that hard time, Liu would do part-time jobs to supplement his income while honing his skills as a writer and producer.

Liu’s next big break came in 2019 during Comic-Con when Disney revealed that Liu would play Shang-Chi in the film “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” Marvel’s first film to include an Asian led cast.

Over and above that, Liu is also a filmmaker, producer, and writer. Open Gym, a short film he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in that premiered at the 2013 Toronto Reel Asian International Film Festival was Liu’s first work in this field.

Other than that, the first Asian superhero from Marvel depicts his own origin story in his book “We Were Dreamers.” It is the story of his family as a Chinese immigrant, his battles with cultural preconceptions and his own identity, becoming a TV star, and landing the role of a lifetime. So by this, we can predict he must have pocketed a good amount of money.
