金子 / Jinzi

Jinzi is the author of [[HaikeyiDeJinNvshi|《还可以的金女士》]] and the guest in 140. 还可以的金女士：“所以人为什么要努力啊？！”. In the source, she describes herself as a fashion-media new-media deputy director rather than comfortably as a “writer,” and she uses the book to organize her life into questions about small-town upbringing, studying, Beijing, work, charm, class, and effort.

Her source role is not only biographical. Jinzi becomes the episode’s case for how a “good student” life can carry [[SmallTownExamTakerDiscipline|小镇做题家规训]], [[HardshipCultureAsEducation|吃苦文化作为教育]], and [[FemaleBeautySelfSurveillance|女性美貌自我监控]] into adult work. She also shows how a creator can understand public ratings rationally while still being affected by Creator Evaluation Pressure.
