Deng Siqing is known as CCTV’s “Top Sister,” a host whose status and professional authority make station staff and directors cautious around her. In public, she maintains an elegant, cool, and disciplined image. 79 131 149

Privately, she has been a devoted fan of Da Fei (Lin Chudong) since his time in the Da Fei Band.
