Early life

In 2008, she made her television debut in the series "Thank You for Your Love", playing the role of "Xiaoguoguo", the daughter of the male lead.[3]
Later, in July 2010, she performed at the opening ceremony of the Shandong activities during the Shanghai Expo, marking one of her early public appearances.[4]
In 2011, Aria Jin relocated with her family to New York City.[1] Initially, she faced challenges such as the language barrier and social exclusion at school.[5] However, after transferring to other schools and attending weekend dance classes at a Manhattan arts centre, she gradually adapted to her new environment.[1]
