李雪琴

简介

Li Xueqin is a Chinese internet celebrity and stand-up comedian, whose real name is Li Xueyang. She was born in Tieling, Liaoning province in 1995 and graduated from the School of Journalism and Communication at Peking University. Her parents divorced early in her life, and she strove to maintain excellent grades to avoid worrying them. During university, she began experiencing severe depression and self-harmed before seeking medical help. After graduating, she enrolled at New York University to study education but had to return to China in 2018 due to a relapse of her condition. She first gained fame when a video of her calling out to Wu Yifan at Tsinghua University went viral, making her a trending topic on Weibo. She initially declined an invitation to a stand-up comedy show but accepted in 2020. She made a major impact in the third season of the comedy competition with her deadpan, self-deprecating comedic style, finishing fifth in the finals and consistently trending on social media. She later participated in the Chinese New Year Gala and various television comedy programs.
