Jin, however, never eyes rapping in Chinese as a weakness in himself. “Embrace the challenge,” he said. “The victory’s amazing, but what I really treasure is the defeat,” said Jin while talking about his early experience of wins and losses.

He views his journey with “The Rap of China” more as a period of enchantment, than just a competition to win. While speaking of his elimination on the reality show, he said “getting eliminated on ‘The Rap of China’ is the most amazing thing,” coming only after his marriage and the birth of his son.

Jin said hip-hop culture is like overcoming the difficulties in life. There are always things that are not ideal in someone's living environment, such as how to make a living, how to survive or how to take care of his or her child.

And it seems that hip-hop culture has inspired Jin in some way. Talking about China’s hip-hop culture, Jin said that “anything is possible.”

“Everything in life has a perspective,” he said, responding to the doubts of whether it is possible to rap in Chinese, a language with four tones, and whether the growing trend of China's hip-hop culture will die out after the show.

Speaking of the future, Jin said he is confident in the culture. With or without “The Rap of China,” as long as there are people who continue to know about the culture, “hip-hop lives forever.”
