Summary
A year after the arrest of the 38-year-old internet figure known as “Nanjing Hongjie,” online discussion has reignited after social media users shared photos they say show the person in Guangzhou’s Kecun area trying on women’s clothing. Reports say there is still no official confirmation that the person in the images is Hongjie.
Key Points
- The person known online as “Nanjing Hongjie,” also referred to as “Hongye,” was reported arrested last year after a scandal involving cross-dressing meetups with men arranged online.
- Reports said the 38-year-old, surnamed Jiao, allegedly invited men to a residence for sex and secretly filmed the encounters for paid online distribution.
- The case was described as having erupted in July 2025, when police reportedly detained Jiao on suspicion of disseminating obscene materials.
- New photos shared by mainland internet users allegedly show a person believed to be Hongjie at a clothing shop in Guangzhou’s Kecun area.
- The person in the circulated images was described as wearing a leopard-print top, denim shorts, low heels, bangs and a low ponytail.
Why It Matters
The rumor has drawn attention in Hong Kong because the alleged sighting places the person in the Greater Bay Area, prompting online questions about legal follow-up after last year’s arrest. For readers in Hong Kong, the key unresolved issue is that the identity in the photos remains unverified by any official source.
