Alina Li is a China-born former adult film actress who drew global attention with her exotic beauty, poised elegance, and fearless on-camera presence. Despite a very short career window, she delivered a remarkable run of memorable titles and became one of the most talked-about Asian performers of the 2010s.
Profile
Her real name is Chichi Zhou, born on September 8, 1994, making her 30 years old. Originally from Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, she stands 170cm tall, weighs 50kg, with measurements of 86-53-86cm.
A Virgo with Chinese/Asian ethnicity.
Pre-Debut Background
Born in Shanghai, she was raised by extended family after her parents divorced when she was three. During high school, she worked as a chemistry lab assistant, possessing an intelligent, science-minded background.
She speaks Chinese (native) and English (fluent). Deeply inspired by Asa Akira, whom she has called a personal “hero,” she moved swiftly from graduation to industry entry within just two months.
Career Highlights
After starting as a webcam model in 2013 at age 19, she quickly transitioned to studio productions. Within roughly one year, she became a top-rated newcomer across major studios—a pace few have matched.
She worked with Evil Angel, Mile High, New Sensations, Elegant Angel, Bang Productions, and Jules Jordan Video, alongside releases for leading platforms like Mofos, BangBros, Naughty America, Digital Playground, and Brazzers.
Between 2013-2014, she amassed 200+ credits and picked up multiple AVN, XBIZ, and NightMoves nominations. Notable works include “Lola, Dressage En Orgy” (2015, AVN Best Group Sex Scene nominee), “Deep in Double D’s,” “Raw Cuts,” “Second Chances” (2014), and “Wet Food 6” (2013).
Her early co-appearance with Tori Black was also widely discussed.
Awards and Recognition
In 2015, she was nominated for the AVN Award for Best Group Sex Scene (“Lola, Dressage En Orgy”) and AVN Fan Award for Cutest Newcomer. In 2014, she was nominated for the NightMoves Award for Best New Starlet, receiving multiple AVN/XBIZ category nominations during 2013-2015.
Some outlets have incorrectly listed Alina Li as a 2015 AVN Best New Starlet winner; reliable databases show nominations but not a win. However, her impact is undisputed—especially given the brevity of her career.
Completing 200+ titles in ~1 year at an unusually rapid pace, she was frequently cited in “Hottest New Porn Stars” lists (e.g., Maxim, Jan 2014). She remains an enduring symbol of Asian representation and accelerated early-career success.
Post-Retirement Life
She retired in 2014 and has maintained strict privacy. From 2020 onward, she has been largely absent from social media, with recent hints suggesting possible residence in France (based on limited Instagram activity).
Public appearances, interviews, and projects remain unconfirmed.
Social Media and Official Information
On Instagram, she operates as @alinaljl with a small, intermittently active account; profile text suggests time in France. Her former Twitter/X handle @alinalxxx has been inactive since 2020.
No verified OnlyFans, YouTube, or TikTok accounts exist in recent years.
Legacy
Alina Li exemplifies a short-run, high-impact career: an efficient ascent to the top tier, followed by a decisive exit and near-total privacy.
As a China-born performer who achieved rapid international recognition, she broadened visibility for Asian talent and remains a mysterious, much-discussed figure years after leaving the screen.
