After graduation from a university, Xie Jin joined Deyunshe (德云社), a xiangsheng performing company that operates in China led by Guo Degang (郭德纲).[2] Pursuant to the traditional practice of xiangsheng, the late Wang Shichen (王世臣) became his mentor. As there are 8 teams currently under the company, Xie Jin (usually as the role of penggen) and Li Hedong (李鹤东) (usually as the role of dougen) are the leading duo therein.[3]
In the second half of 2018, Xie Jin and Li Hedong participated in Cross Talk, a xiangsheng show that was aired on Shanghai Dragon Television ranging from 11 August to 27 October. The newly formed duo (since 9 February, 2017) won the second place of the competition.
