On the Spring Festival Gala stage that year, many viewers still have impressions of Jin Yuting, who played a couple with Feng Gong. She has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage for five consecutive years, mostly playing the role of Feng Gong’s “other half”. The audience jokingly called her Feng Gong’s “queen wife”.
But just when her career was at its most prosperous, she suddenly disappeared from public view.
Various rumors quickly spread on the Internet, saying that she was insane and was admitted to a mental hospital, that she was banned from interfering in other people’s families, and various rumors spread widely.
More than ten years have passed, how true are the rumors from back then? What kind of life is she living now at the age of 52?
Road to fame during the Spring Festival Gala
Jin Yuting was born in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province in 1973. She is a standard Northeastern girl. She has been fond of literature and art since she was a child. She studied Ping Opera and practiced dance. She was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy in her teens.
In the few years since she graduated, she has been working hard in the film and television industry and has played many supporting roles. In 1998, she became famous in the industry when she was nominated for the Golden Eagle Award for Best Supporting Actress for the TV series “The Great Rift”.
From the perspective of an onlooker, her ability to reach the Spring Festival Gala stage was all due to her own strength, step by step, and it was not a so-called shortcut. In 2003, she appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time, partnering with Guo Donglin in the sketch “My Dad and I Change Roles”.
The performance was well received and she was remembered by the Spring Festival Gala crew. In the following years, she became a regular guest at the Spring Festival Gala.
In 2007, he collaborated with Pan Changjiang in “Carry Love to the End”, in 2008 with Sun Tao in “Military Wife Goes to the Island”, in 2009 with Feng Gong in “Warm Winter”, in 2010 with Huang Hong in “Beautiful Awkwardness”.
In total, from 2003 to 2010, she appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage five times and won four audience-favorite program awards. Especially in “Warm Winter” with Feng Gong, she played the role of her ex-girlfriend who returned from overseas. The two worked well together, with both laughter and warmth in place.
After the show was aired, many viewers felt that they looked too much like each other as husband and wife, and the title of “Feng Gong’s Queen Wife” spread.
From the perspective of an onlooker, Jin Yuting’s career was in its best period of growth in those years. With the exposure of the Spring Festival Gala and her solid acting skills, film and television resources also came to her doorstep. She successively starred in many popular TV series such as “The Taiping Rebellion”, “Mansion Gate 2” and “Xilai Le”.
If this momentum continues, it is entirely possible for her to become a resident comedian on the Spring Festival Gala stage, with a bright future.
But no one expected that an invisible storm of public opinion was quietly approaching her.
When rumors surround you
The saying that “people are famous for their right and wrong” is a perfect fit for Jin Yuting. As her fame grows, so do the rumors about her online. The first thing that came out was that she relied on her relationship with Spring Festival Gala director Jin Yue to attend the Spring Festival Gala every year. Some people are making false accusations, saying that she has an improper relationship with the director and that she obtained resources through the back door.
But in fact, two of her five Spring Festival Galas were not directed by Jin Yue at all. The Spring Festival Gala programs have to go through multiple rounds of review, and one person cannot have the final say.
But rumors never need evidence. The more people spread the rumor, the more people will believe it. Then a second rumor spread, saying that she had intervened in actor Zhang Zijian’s marriage and was the third party to destroy other people’s families. This incident spread widely, and some people even said that she was banned because of it.
Later, Jin Yuting issued a statement to refute the rumors, saying that she was not married to Zhang Zijian at all, and she had no involvement in anyone’s family. But the speed of debunking rumors can never keep up with the speed of spreading rumors.
Those malicious remarks came to her like a tide. The more she explained, the more fierce she was scolded. Combined with the analysis of the direction of the whole thing, these rumors are devastating to an actress who is on the rise.
After filming every day, she still had to face overwhelming negative comments, and she couldn’t even sleep well. At first, she still held on, when it was time to film and film, and when it was time to go on stage, she didn’t want others to see her vulnerability.
But long-term insomnia and mental stress gradually wore down her body. While filming the TV series “The Legend of Meng Laicai”, she suddenly fainted on the set and was rushed to the hospital.
The test results came out as moderate depression, accompanied by severe anxiety. When this incident spread online, it changed its flavor again. In order to attract attention, some people directly referred to “depression” as “mental disorder” and even made up the theory that she was forcibly sent to a mental hospital. The rumor that “Jin Yuting is crazy” spread all over the Internet at once.
This incident essentially exposed a core problem: many people simply do not have a correct understanding of mental illness. They simply equate depression with “crazy”. Not only do they not understand the patients’ pain, but they use more vicious language to attack them. These rumors in turn aggravated Jin Yuting’s condition. During that time, her condition hit rock bottom, and she even had the idea of committing suicide.
Her family was so worried that they rushed from their hometown to Beijing to take care of her and stayed with her every step of the way. She gave up all her work, completely disappeared from the public eye, and concentrated on her medical treatment.
Trough and rebirth
During the first few years of her illness, Jin Yuting was almost isolated from the world. She no longer takes any jobs and has little contact with the outside world. She just cooperates with treatment every day and slowly adjusts her condition. Based on the analysis of the whole incident, that period was the most difficult period of her life for her. From the much-anticipated Spring Festival Gala performers to the patients surrounded by rumors, not everyone can bear this gap.
Fortunately, her family stayed with her and doctors actively treated her. After more than two years, her condition gradually improved.
In the process of conditioning her body, she came into contact with traditional culture and traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, and began to meditate by copying scriptures. These things helped her slowly calm down the anger in her heart, and also made her start to rethink her life. If you delve into the logic behind it, you will find that the root cause of her illness is not only the impact of rumors, but also the overdraft of long-term high-intensity work.
In those years, she was filming TV series and running the Spring Festival Gala at the same time. She often stayed up late to arrange programs, and her body was already in a state of overload.
Psychological stress coupled with physical overdraft eventually led to collapse. After her condition improved, many people thought she would return to the entertainment industry and continue filming and appearing on shows. But she made a decision that surprised everyone: she would not return to that place of right and wrong.
Judging from the actual results, this choice may not be a bad thing for her. She has seen the prosperity of the entertainment industry and the dangers of people’s hearts. She wants a stable and peaceful life more than competing for fame and wealth.
She used the savings she had accumulated over the years to open an academy and started work related to traditional culture. Later, she also registered her own clothing brand and made some Chinese clothing that incorporated traditional elements.
Occasionally she would appear in sketch programs on local stations, such as Liaoning TV’s “Happy Rice Rice”, but she never appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage again. The stage became smaller, but her overall state became more relaxed.
Without the spotlight and the distraction of rumors, she could finally live her life at her own pace. Putting aside the public opinion gimmicks, objectively speaking, she was not eliminated by the entertainment industry, but took the initiative to choose another life.
Many people feel it is a pity and say that if she had not encountered those rumors, she would definitely still be a first-line sketch actor. But there are no ifs in life. Compared with flowers and applause on the stage, inner peace and solidity may be more important to her.
life today
Today, 52-year-old Jin Yuting lives a low-key and stable life. In 2025, rumors about her spread on the Internet, saying that she was crazy, divorced, and some even said she died. She was forced to post a video to refute the rumors, telling everyone personally that she was not crazy, divorced, or died of illness, and that she was living a good life now.
In the video, she is naked, wearing simple clothes, and her tone is calm and gentle. She is completely different from the glamorous actor on the stage back then.
Her social accounts are not updated much, and most of them share some daily life, or talk about traditional culture. Sometimes she will teach you some health tips, and sometimes she will show off the clothes she made. The content is very down-to-earth. At the end of 2025, she also registered a clothing company in Guangzhou to focus on her own clothing brand.
The answer given by reality is already very straightforward. She is no longer the young actor who was pushed away by public opinion.
Having experienced peaks and troughs, she has long since opened her eyes to many things. Some people say that her current life is too dull and not as glamorous as when she was a star. But only those who have truly experienced the storm will understand the value of plainness.
She no longer has to deal with endless interviews, no longer has to care about other people’s evaluations, and no longer has to live in the eyes of others. Do what you like every day, spend time with your family, and live a simple and practical life.
The outcome of this game has long been determined, and the rumors that had hurt her have slowly dissipated over time. And she relied on her own strength to get out of the trough and live the way she wanted.
Compared with the dazzle on the stage back then, this peaceful and stable state now is more powerful.
結尾升華
Jin Yuting’s experience is actually the epitome of many early artists. They relied on their own efforts to come to the stage step by step, bringing countless joy to the audience, but they also had to withstand the malice of the Internet age. An unfounded rumor can ruin a person’s efforts for several years or even more than ten years. Many people only see the superficial beauty of celebrities, but fail to see the pressure and hurt they endure behind the scenes.
To this day, online violence and malicious rumors are still happening, and many people still accuse others indiscriminately.
Jin Yuting’s story tells us that in the face of rumors, explanations are often the weakest. What can really heal yourself is never the approval of others, but the strength of your own heart.
There is not only one way to go in life. Although the light on the stage is dazzling, the ordinary life after taking off the halo is also valuable.
You don’t have to live in the expectations of others, and you don’t have to internalize yourself for unworthy people and things. Living well at your own pace is the best response to those who are malicious.
I also hope that everyone can be more kind to others and not let their words become a knife for others.
