China's most famous and successful choreographer has taken time in her Australian tour to discuss the challenges of being a transexual dancer and former colonel in the world's largest military force.
Jin Xing, who was a man until sex reassignment surgery in 1996, says there are many layers to her persona.
"I am not just a dancer and choreographer, although I am not just transexual, but (from a) transsexual background. These are complications put together who made me who I am today," she said.
