Early life

Michelle Jin was born in 1974 in a small village in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. She was raised in a conservative family, where bodybuilding was probably not considered a true career path. In 1987, she moved to the United States. In 1996, she was introduced by a friend to a gym where she began working out and developing her body.
