Chinese actress Jiang Xin, known for her role as “Hua Fei” in the TV series “Empresses in the Palace,” has gained popularity for her outstanding acting skills. Despite being single, she recently revealed that she has lost 15 pounds. When asked by netizens why she has not yet married, she confidently responded, “Why should I not reconcile with myself?”
Jiang Xin previously participated in the variety show “Ace vs. Ace,” where her body shape sparked discussions. She admitted that she may appear slightly overweight on camera, attributing it to her naturally large bone structure which can sometimes give the impression of being bulky.
At 41 years old and 171 cm tall, Jiang Xin usually maintained a weight of around 55 kg. Despite being considered slightly overweight in the realm of female celebrities due to her broad frame, her cheerful personality has kept her from succumbing to body image concerns.
The actress joked that she used to care a lot about external opinions and judgments, but as time passed, she learned not to care about them anymore. While she aims to improve her physical appearance as much as possible, she emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy body while implementing weight loss plans. Understanding the necessity of body management as an actress, Jiang Xin remains conscious of her appearance.
Having fluctuated in weight in the past, Jiang Xin recently shared on TikTok that she has successfully lost 15 pounds. In the video, wearing a loose gray coat, her already petite face appeared even smaller, giving her a slim and delicate look that resonated with fans.
In response to a curious fan inquiring about her marriage status, Jiang Xin confidently replied with a facepalm emoji, “Why should I not reconcile with myself?” Her strong response resonated with many female fans, and they praised her for being “down-to-earth” like her character “Hua Fei.”
In recent years, the Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage young people to marry and have children to counteract declining population trends. However, official data from 2024 showed a decrease of over 20% in marriage registrations, marking the largest decline in history. Experts attribute this trend to various factors such as gender imbalances, economic stagnation, and the high barriers and risks associated with marriage. Yet, the underlying reason lies in the extreme disillusionment of young people with the system, as they are reluctant to become mere instruments of the state.
While Jiang Xin may not experience the same pressures as the general public, she possesses the ability to choose her preferred lifestyle. In previous interviews, she mentioned that her parents do not pressure her to marry. Clear communication with her parents has led her to believe that “love does not have an age requirement.” She values emotional connections over marital status, emphasizing that relationships should be natural and not forced.
