For more than 10 years she had hung on to this dream, waiting for the right time.

"Before, I needed the time for my children because they are still young."

Jin and her German husband have three adopted children, but now, she says, she is ready.

"I have experience and I have developed my own rhythm and style of speech," she says. "Once the curtains are drawn, I will know exactly what I should talk about."

She will speak from her own experience, her observations about certain social phenomena, and hopefully do interviews with guest stars, when the show becomes regular.

She is quick-witted, Jin says, which is useful for a live talk show host.

"I can't be an author because I lose my train of thought when I sit down. I am inspired when questioned."

She says she would be a great host for the annual spring festival gala show, which is telecast live each year on national TV.

Jin defines her personality as "true and direct", and she says she will not hold back.

"I think the core values of my show will be truthfulness, directness and quick-wittedness," she says.
