Early life and education

Her mother is from Keelung and her father is from Shandong. Her father divorced her mother to married another woman who gave him a boy, her half-brother Wu Pu-hui[note 4].
During her childhood, she was sent to study in a primary school at Hong Kong to learn English. Then, she moved to Japan to live with her mother and her step-father 伊能祥光, a Japanese man from the Ryukyu Islands. She took her step-father's surname and took a Japanese name "Shizuka Inoh"[note 5]. She lived in Tokyo, Japan for six years and studied at Tokyo Chinese School.
After returning to Taiwan in 1988, she took the stage name "Yi Nengjing"[note 6], by simplifying her Japanese name dropping the last character. In 2010, she was selected as a judge for the television series China's Got Talent.
