Jin Xing- China’s only transgender celebrity: be brave to be yourself！
Jin Xing, born in China in 1967, graduated from the Dance Department of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Academy of Arts. She is a modern female dancer, compere and actress in China.
She mostly engages in cultural exchanges with the general public from two aspects in order to spread positive energy:
- Telling her own story through various platforms to encourage more people to be brave and optimistic to be themselves.
- Founded the talk show “Jin Xing Show” to conduct cultural exchanges on social hot topics.
Jin Xing has shared her exceptional life on a variety of social media platforms, including SIXTH TONE, the World Economic Forum, Souhu, etc. She recounted that she was a man until she was 28, and she made great achievements in dancing. Such a person who regards dance as her life made a very sensational decision at that time- become a woman.
What she wants to tell everyone is that even though her left leg was accidentally diagnosed as disabled from surgery, she can still stand up again because she never gave up! Some people who have been disabled by accident were encouraged to become active and optimistic. Many people also posted cordial responses to Jin Xing on Weibo “Rainbows that have weathered the storm are more beautiful.”
The “Jin Xing Show” is a personal discussion show that Jin Xing created. In addition to inviting some celebrities to have open chats about their own life experiences, they also conduct in-depth discussions on the hottest and most controversial topics. For instance, whether celebrity remuneration is too high, whether the increase in divorce rate is a negative or positive trend, etc.
There was a theme about single mothers that struck a chord with many internet users. She said: “The children will only be happy when the mother is pleased. Single mothers can only manage themselves effectively and educate their children well when they have a strong heart and an optimistic attitude.” The show has received lots of feedback from many single mothers on platforms such as Douyin and Weibo, who say they get the confident to believe their life will get better.
With the airing of the Jin Xing Show, Jin’s opinions on many hot topics have attracted more and more discussion. She has 13.7 million followers on Weibo, with 14.32 million comments and reposts. Naturally, some negative comments criticized Jin Xing for her sharp tongue, but more people appreciated her frankness and wisdom, calling Jin Xing a “giant in thought”.
Deeper thinking- Why do Jin Xing’s speeches always resonate more with everyone?
She discussed topics that others were afraid to discuss and offered more honest opinions. The main point is her “poison but not hurt” language style. This means that some of the phenomena or behaviors satirized by Jin Xing can always hit what most people think in their hearts, and then resonate with the audience. After that, Jin Xing will use some words in line with the core values of socialism to explain her views and make people smile. In fact, it can be seen as a type of “Psychological attack”.
