Rainbow flag flies high in Shanghai

"I will speak out about such cases of social injustice," she says.

She says her theater performances will be even bolder than the TV edition because "lots of the inappropriate words will be cut from the TV show".

Jin has done her homework and says she wants to present her show "American-style", after Oprah Winfrey, David Letterman or Ellen DeGeneres.

"You can't compare one host's show to another, because the personality defines each show. It's closely connected to life and experience.

"It is only convincing when you combine your own feelings and experiences with your own opinions on life and social phenomena," she says.

She is determined to develop a talk show unique to her, working with audiences in the theater.

It will be "something you won't find in Europe, America or any other Asian country. It is something starting right here in Shanghai".
