Liu Zhu was born on January 9, 1991, in Nanchong, Sichuan province. He is currently a student of Sichuan Conservatory of Music. This is a Youku video, for the YouTube version, click here.
Wearing a dress, long wavy hair and some makeup, on the stage of Hunan TV's popular all male singing talent show Super Boy (or Happy Boy, inspired by UK's Pop idol), Liu Zhu (刘著) appears as a sweet-looking college girl. However, he (yes, he) has not come to compete at the wrong show, as he is indeed a boy.
