After nearly three months of total silence on social media, Chinese actress Kimi Li Jinming suddenly became the talk of the internet.
Fans started to notice she hadn’t posted, liked, or gone live since mid-July, sparking a flood of worried comments.
Some even wondered if she’d gone off the grid entirely, with the phrase “Where is Li Jinming?” shooting up the trending charts overnight.
For an actress who’s usually buzzing online, her vanishing act had people proper concerned.
Threads popped up on Weibo full of wild theories – from burnout to secret projects – while others just hoped she was getting a decent break.

“Shocked! Hahaha!” – Li Jinming Finally Speaks Up
On the night of October 24, Li Jinming finally broke her silence with a brand-new selfie and the caption:
“Shocked! Hahaha, I was just out having fun.”
She followed up in the comments, laughing off the fuss:
“I saw it yesterday, thought no one would believe it. But tonight, my WeChat’s gone mad!”
That cheeky reply was enough to calm most of her fans, who flooded back into her comments saying they were relieved she’s fine.
One fan teased, “People are going to start overthinking again,” to which Li Jinming cheekily answered,
“I went crazy replying to old fans in the comments just to prove it’s really me!”
It’s safe to say her humour and down-to-earth attitude turned what could’ve been a mini-scandal into a feel-good comeback moment.
From “iPartment” Fame to Fan Favourite
Born November 21, 1985, in Jinan, Shandong, Li Jinming – also known by her stage name Kimi Li – studied acting at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.
She shot to fame playing Chen Meijia in the hit sitcom iPartment (爱情公寓), one of China’s biggest rom-coms of the late 2000s.
The role made her a household name, and she’s since worn many hats – actress, TV host, and writer – building a loyal following across platforms.
Even though her projects don’t often reach international screens, her charm and sense of humour have kept fans sticking around for years.
And this week’s chaos just proved how much they still care.
The Rumours Were Just a Mix-Up, Not a Mystery
In the end, all that fuss about her “disappearance” was nothing more than a misunderstanding.
Turns out, Li Jinming was just living her best life offline for a bit – something most people could probably do with.
Her quick, light-hearted comeback post not only killed the rumours but also reminded everyone that sometimes, silence just means someone’s taking a breather.
And fair play to her – she’s earned it.
