The "Jing Xiaoran" you've been asking for is here—

"The Last Poem" character concept draft for "Jing Xiaoran" unveiled!

As one of the protagonists of "Christmas Tina", the young Jing Xiaoran once traveled far to Japan alone for his university dream, silently saving up for tuition in a foreign land . In the winter of 1988, during his time with Kanna and Emi, Jing Xiaoran found something even more important than his dream...

" This probably... cannot be called love. But I think, in this era, in this place, this is a kind of 'fate' between us... "

In the new work "The Last Poem", Jing Xiaoran has entered his thirties. This youth, seemingly dull but actually warm-hearted, continues on his path of protection and perseverance.

Once went to Tokyo for work after failing the college entrance exam, and by chance got to know Emi and her older sister Kanna, living together for about a year.

After the bubble economy ended, he returned to China to take care of his sick uncle.

Although he hadn't been to Japan for several years thereafter, he remained in contact with Ms. Sakura.

In 1998, his uncle eventually passed away from illness, and the small restaurant Xiao Ran opened in his hometown also closed down due to poor management.

After an unexpected reunion with Jiang Xiaomo, he decided to go to Tokyo again.
