Young actress Huang Yang Tiantian recently trended online when the stunning emerald earrings she wore during her coming-of-age ceremony put her family’s financial resources under public scrutiny. According to Netizens, the earrings are supposedly worth RMB 2.3 million which the teen actress said belonged to her mum. Netizens are asking how then can a civil servant family have the means to afford a 2.3 million luxury? Her dad used to be a public official from 2015-2017 before resigning.
“If the earrings are fake, then I think it’s okay. The girl is a little vain and loves pretty things. A few hundred thousand means she’s from a well-off family and very wealthy. Two million is a bit outrageous though …” commented one Netizen.
Meanwhile, news outlet Fengmian reported that an insider claimed her father hasn’t held a public office for eight years and that his personal income should not be the subject of online attacks. The criticism also extended to how the family was able to have a second child during the one-child policy era. This prompted some netizens to feel that it is a tactic to smear an actress whose career is on the rise.
Jaywalk Media in Hot Water
When the issue started to get traction online, many speculated that Rebirth star’s agency, Jaywalk Media (Jiaxing), took action to scrub the topic from trending searches and deleted related posts. This led to accusations that Jaywalk is showing double standards—acting swiftly now while being criticized in the past for slow responses even for top artists like Dilraba Dilmurat. Similarly, fellow Jaywalk artist Zhou Keyu recently released a lengthy statement responding to fans’ dissatisfaction with his management team. He emphasized that all career decisions have been made jointly since he signed with Jiaxing at age 16 but acknowledged the need for improvement. This statement was interpreted by fans as “the team doing nothing but letting the artist take responsibility”, further raising questions about Jaywalk’s ability to manage artists.

Tell her to dress her age and she has too much make-up on. Goodness, some 30+ year old actresses look younger and fresher than her.

She is literally a kid.. Let her be, it’s not everything one must find fault with

Looks fake. What crazy mom would lend their teenager expensive emerald earrings?

Not finding fault. Advice. That’s what she is – a kid. That’s why she need guidance. Don’t let her ruin her life with bad and immature decisions. She was acting as a love interest in some recent drama. Goodness, she was still underaged when they shot that drama. It should be made illegal for underaged actors and actresses to take on such roles.

Kids are ment to make mistake … her only fault was post a pic she thought was cute … imagine you this age getting critique this hard … again let her be

It looked like the earrings made out of white gold and the necklace made out of yellow gold. If the earrings are that expensive, no one would wear them mismatched like that. It doesn’t make sense to me!

Everyone in China now doubt her dad was using the relief funds from earthquake to buy all the luxury goods and luxury house.That’s the point. Her dad was a leader that helped raise funds.

@Momo
Did you mean they suspected him using the relief funds for his own personal use?
momo
Yes, because Chinese civil servants do not have enough salary to buy such expensive jewelry. Her family was just an ordinary family before the Ya’an earthquake, but after the earthquake they could suddenly afford luxury house and expensive jewelry. And the whereabouts of the Ya’an earthquake relief funds were not disclosed.
