I find an article of lyf's neighbour in US from his blog,he tells about lyf's life in America.
liuyifei used to live in east NY,Douglaston, Queens.
she mentioned it in an interview,she said"she lived in long island."

the school she attended in Douglaston

the house she used to live in

the pics were posted by a neighbour of lyf in America in his blog,he said he was deeply impressed by the beauty of lyf and her mom,and now hear lyf has become a big star in china,he is quite happy for lyf,and wish her good luck.
I translate the article of the blog,it's kind of long,but if you want to know more about lyf,you'd better be patient,the write wrote gorgeous words,I think it's partly authentic.
I don't know where to start.Life is so weird sometimes-just like a coloured magic box,you put in a white handkerchief,and several pigeons fly out eventually;you pour a bottle of water,but it turns out to be honey wine.And a little girl with long black hair walking in the afterglow becomes a golden star,you believe it? Sure you can believe it,like the way the famous female star liuyifei appears such magically in my sight.
Located in the eastern NY,the Douglaston is quiet and beautiful like a poem.The blue long island bay softly curve her arms,and embrace the elegant town with the subtil jow like holding a cat.
I live here,so did lyf.We were not far away,and we took bus at the same bus station,or came across at the same street or in the same restaurant.She and her mother Ms liu,are both breathtakingly beautiful,we Chinese and the Americans both felt them uncommonly gorgeous,have the class of star and the feeling of fairy.And they don't forwardly get to know other neighbours,it's understandable,because the relations in neighbourhood is not that intimate here in America.Beauties should keep distance from others,the further the prettier.
liuyifei was in the middle school at that time.Since the sixth grade,she often waited for her classmate in the nearby block in the morning.Sometimes I saw her with the schoolbag and holding the homepapers.The morning sunshine cast on her like the red silk fabric,and made her look prettier.She seemed kind of mature with the long black hair covering her should,she was so different from the American peers style.She was quite eastern at that time,like the almond flower in the spring rain.Her beauty made every compatriot who saw her feel dizzy."See?"they say,"how can all the niceness gather on one person?"
But liuyifei was still a child,not matter how she dressed,you can still catch it in her eyes,and the baby fat in her cheeks.One morning,when she was waiting for her classmates,and dropped her homepapers accidentally,I walked by,seeing the papers flying around her in the morning wind like the birds cheering around her,so I helped her pick them up."I know your mom."I said to her.She remained silent with the blush on her cheeks."You'd better go to school now"I was reminded of my own daughter who happened to be in her age.
First came to the school here,lyf is not quite used to the course here,the teacher arrange a Chinese boy named Johnson to help her,Johnson's parents spoke Chinese,so both his Chinese and English are quite good.They are just one block away,and often go together after school.And if lyf had problems with her work,she sometimes called Johnson for help.I believe it was a hard time for lyf,because she had to bear the various burdens of her family,language and study,for a girl cherished so many colourful dreams.She should remember this Johnson boy.Now Johnson is in the harvard university,he is tall and strong.I asked him if he ever remember lyf.He smiled without saying anything.
liuyifei's home is two layered white brick house which implicits her wealth.I knew her step father,a decent,well spoken man.He is kind,hardworking and an outstanding business man who is quite well known among new york overseas Chinese.I once watched lyf's mom's perfomance on stage,and didn't realize she was the wife of his,when I finally knew that in the conversation with her,I said "the man is so lucky to have you"And she blushed,not knowing how to response.
Times went by.The time elapsed just like the water of long island bay,my life became normal and trivial.The oversea life is rich and comfortable,but it's not comparable with the abundance and profoundity felt in my homeland.We were kind of lost,and had to travel to seek our roots.The flower blossom and sear,the leaves turn green and yellow,life fade away with time.I don't know when I started to notice lyf and her mom seldom showed up in the community.At the same time,more and more news about lyf becoming a film star in homeland China had spreaded here and there.At first,I can't equal her with the little dragon girl,until her photo flied around like snow,on the newspapers and on the magazines,I started to wonder that is this the little girl lived in my neighbourhood?
I went to lyf's house to see a lawyer friend.And he told me lyf did go back to mainland to make films,then I know everything about lyf is true.I can see the block where lyf used to be waiting for her classmates,now the sunshine and the lawn remain like it was,and the block is quiet like it was.My friend showed me the bedroom of hers,it was quite empty,at the end of the second storey of the house.Tidy bedsheet,lyf's picture on her bedstand,not the star style picture,just like the little girl we used to see,and there's some cystal stuff on it,like the piercing eyes,staring through time.I was told that lyf adored crystals very much,so her English name is crystal.Everything I saw confused me,I can't believe the little girl grew up overnight,and disappeared overnight,like gone with the wind.
Like the butterfly break out of the cocoon,liuyifei flies away.I believe where she is heading for is where she was dreaming of,the time when she was in Douglaston is a promise,a tarry,a brave attempt.Now that she decided to into the magic world of show biz,to realize her dream and to show her uniquity,she is destinied to counter the twists and turns while creating her miracle.But the town is likewise,the river flows.Can you still hear the bell ringing here,liuyifei?
We will draw the sunshine for you,expect your wonder. the original quote:

what is she doing right now?
After her album being released and some propaganda activities,she planned to go to us to study in stanford university this e.o.m,but she was invited to play the goddess of JINYING(the golden eagle,which is a significant award ceremony of TV series in china),and give some perfomance on the stage,so she defers her schedule.
