Shen He (born 7 May 1981), better known by his stage name Xiaoshenyang (Chinese: 小沈阳; pinyin: Xiǎoshěnyáng; literally: "Little Shenyang"), is a Chinese actor. He was a student of Zhao Benshan and was an errenzhuan performer before joining the film and television industry. His teacher, Zhao Benshan, is a widely recognized comedian. Zhao`s company, Benshan Media, stives to promote and preserve the art of Errenzhuan. This is a traditional form of Chinese entertainment, over the years through everyone in Benshan Media, it is gradually gaining influence.

Xiaoshenyang became famous immediately in China after the 2009 CCTV New Year's Gala, where he stole the thunder from Zhao playing an effeminate restaurant waiter in a skit. He also showed off his considerable vocal prowess. He continued to attend the CCTV New Year's Gala during the following three years, and now attends New Year's Gala in Beijing TV and Liaoning TV.[1][2]

Shen He changed his name to "Xiaoshenyang" to show his sincerity for his wife—the name was based on his wife's name, "Shen Chunyang". "Yang" means sun, therefore, his fans are the "Yangguang" ("Sunshine")

Xiaoshenyang has acted in Zhao Benshan's television series Rural Love 2 and Rural Love Stories and in Zhang Yimou's A Simple Noodle Story.
