Zhou Jie played Er Kang in the 1998 hit drama My Fair Princess (Huan Zhu Ge Ge), which paved the way for Zhao Wei, Ruby Lin, and Alec Su to become household names. While Zhou Jie was part of the main cast and portrayed Ruby Lin’s love interest, his journey in the entertainment industry has been anything but smooth. Despite starring in classics like Young Justice Bao, Zhou faced controversies, including widely publicized on-set disputes and tabloid scandals.
Having “retired” from acting for many years now though still very opinionated on social media, Zhou Jie’s most notable pivot has been into agriculture. Nowadays, he is known for managing over a thousand acres of farmland in Wuchang, Northeast China, earning him a net worth reportedly in the millions. His fame has even led to others using his videos to sell rice, with some of his friends unknowingly purchasing from unauthorized vendors. Grateful for the recognition, the former actor-turned-businessman said he’s decided to embrace the trend and launch his own store as well as he took to social media to announce the news.
