　　As an actress, Jiang Yiyan is praised for her boldness, and as a singer, she is recognized for her sensibility. As a student, Jiang was a hard worker. After passing exams for performing arts, Jiang had only two months to prepare for her "cultural" exams (Chinese students applying for admission to art academies must both pass exams in performing arts in the field the candidate is applying for, as well as "cultural" exams, which include Chinese, math, English, etc.) Jiang and her mother rented a small room nearby the school and began her training "behind closed doors." Her efforts paid off, as Jiang is the holder of the highest test score in "cultural" exams in the history of students who graduated from high school affiliated with Beijing Dance Academy.
