Here is an AMAZING feature on Jin Xing from The Hollywood Reporter:
Meet the Oprah of China, Who Happens to Be Transgender

They definitely mention TAR China, but they mistakenly put 2015 instead of 2016 season lol
Genius:
1. I watched the first half in 2019, then continued the second half in 2021. I was glad that season pick emerged as the eventual winners.
2. I really liked Season 3, more than Season 4 which I am still watching and certainly more than the first two. All the teams were likeable, I feel.
3. I never had a good opinion of Vanness Wu (of F4 fame) before TARCN4, but I really grown to like him after watching him. I was also kind of bummed that he and Melody were eliminated 4th.
4. One thing I didn't like about TAR China in general is the sidelining of the non-celebrity partner. There would be some product placement going "You can do it, Liu Xiang" and then intentionally leaving out his partner's name. :groan:
5. There were also several instances in the earlier episodes where the teams were talking about the finish line in Brazil. Not sure if this happens for every season, but maybe the racers in the Chinese version always received information on all the cities that they would visit. If so, it's probably the only franchise to intentionally divulge such details to racers.
6. Kenneth Fok is probably the richest person to have ever raced. I assume that his family's worth is probably in the billions. He was also recently elected in Hong Kong's "patriots only election"

Meanwhile, Zhang Zhehan was recently cancelled by the Chinese authorities and almost everyone in China for posing for pictures at the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan in 2018/19. (The Yasukuni Shrine is a sore point among the Chinese and Koreans because they house the war dead from World War 2.) I think he is trying to appeal in court regarding this matter.
