Over the past 40 years, the economy has grown rapidly in China, and led to the emergence of many new and exciting industries. In this 10-part series, we meet some of the Chinese men and women who have developed the skills to excel in these modern-day jobs - mixing talent, passion and innovation.
  • China now boasts around 400 million online bloggers. Fu Zhaoxin, based in the coastal city of Qingdao, has followed her dream and become an online make-up blogger. As a passionate make-up artist, she presents tutorials and discussions from her studio, helping other Chinese women achieve the outward beauty she herself exhibits.
  • In recent years, Chinese tourists both at home and abroad have become more discerning – keen to discover where to stay, what to eat, and where to visit in advance. Beijing-based travel pioneer Xie Xufeng is one of those sharing first-hand research with the masses via online articles, photos, and videos.
  • Love isn’t always easy to find, especially in the busy world of China’s big cities. That’s where Yu Yang, a VIP dating advisor, comes in. As a modern-day matchmaker, she meets clients in Beijing, matches them with suitable partners, and guides them (hopefully) towards marriage.
  • Social media is huge in China, and users are increasingly keen to save time by communicating with emojis. As the creator of Eggy – a happy and energetic yellow cat – Hefei-based Li Weiyi is already a legend in the field of emoji design.
  • Online shopping is a massive market in modern China, with clothes shops particularly popular on platforms such as Taobao. It’s no surprise that clothing companies are finding models who reflect the shape and size of real women. Xingxing is a plus-size model. Discovered by chance on the subway, she now helps with fabric choice and clothing design, as well as modelling the finished products online.
  • China is now home to over a quarter of a billion pets – so it’s no surprise there are 75,000 pet groomers across the country. Tony is a Beijing-based pet groomer, operating out of Pet Dog. At this store, he uses his skills to keep pampered pooches (and other animals) as healthy, happy, and beautiful as their owners desire.
  • Blind individuals don’t usually gain much from the cinema experience. However, with the help of Wang Jingyi, who works as a movie narrator for the blind at the state-of-the-art China Braille Library cinema in Beijing, those without sight can enjoy classics and blockbusters alike.
  • In a country where 20 million people are gym members, but only 8% of them go regularly, some motivation is necessary. Wang Xinfeng, a personal trainer at a high-end hotel gym in downtown Beijing, combines her passion for exercise with a desire to guide, motivate, educate, and even make working out fun for clients of all ages.
  • In big cities such as Beijing, people have limited time and space. That’s where Yuan Chunnan comes in. As a professional organizer, Chunnan has created order and success in her own life. Now she helps others do the same by teaching classes on how to prioritize possessions and properly organize a household.
  • Chinese students, travellers, and businessmen are keen to interact more successfully with people abroad and in China. Beijing-based etiquette coach Jin Lan helps to make that possible. With a strong focus on cultural knowledge, social empathy, and interpersonal communication, she designs courses for Chinese learners of all ages and backgrounds.
