Abstract
This article discusses the cultural effect of a popular Chinese female artist and singer Sammi Cheng and how her persona and stardom might possibly rock the gender values of various Chinese communities. Despite the fact that she openly denies her feminist identity, under the Chinese context, the notion of gender identities is negotiated around her songs and performativity. Culturally unconventional and provoking, Sammi explicitly represents herself as androgynous in the lyrics of her song 'Non Male Non Female'.
本文讨论了中国著名女艺人兼歌手郑sammi的文化影响,以及她的个人形象和明星身份如何可能撼动中国各个社区的性别价值观。尽管她公开否认自己的女权主义身份,但在中国语境下,性别身份的概念是围绕着她的歌曲和表演进行协商的。Sammi在她的歌曲“Non Male Non Female”的歌词中明确地将自己表现为雌雄同体。
