Name
She is better known by her nickname which is Furong Jiejie (芙蓉姐姐 Fúróng Jiějiě) in Chinese or Sister Furong in half English or Sister Lotus (Flower) [2] or Sister (cotton-rose) Hibiscus (Flower). [3] [4] [5] in English. "Furong is the Chinese name for a flower which has always been used to describe young beauty." [6]
[edit]
Fame
Sister Furong "did not have an easy time with the country's college entrance system. It took her three tries to get into college, and since graduation, she has set her eyes on two of the country's best schools". [7] Over several years, she tried but failed to gain entrance to either of two top Beijing universities (Tsinghua University and Peking University) for postgraduate studies. She posted the story of her determination and pictures of herself on the Internet bulletin boards of those universities and touched a nerve among students. She responded to the attention by adding a quest for a boyfriend to her postings. Her narcissistic self descriptions provoked controversy and the question, "Is she funny simply because she doesn't know she is?".
"Sister Furong's fame arose soon after her photos - with farcical poses to highlight her S-shaped curves - accompanied by her narcissistic words from the Tsinghua University BBS were posted onto tianyaclub.com, one of China's largest online forums." [8]
There was blanket coverage in early 2005 by newspapers, magazines and television about her.
[edit]
Government response
When her cult status began to sweep the whole country, Beijing authorities acted. In July 2005, authorities told the country's top blog host to move Furong-related content to low-profile parts of the site. Communist Party censors barred the broadcast of a TV program about her.
[edit]
Future
Beijing-based film production company Zongbo Media hired her to star in a series of short films shot on digital video that would be broadcast only online Zongbo chairman Chen Weiming told Reuters.
She quit her job at a publishing house, is finishing writing a book, has auditioned for a soap opera, and says "I am preparing for a career as an anchorwoman."
