    First Lady of China

Why she might be annoying:

    She is Xi's second wife.

    A photo of her singing to helmeted and rifle-bearing guards following the crackdown was scrubbed from the internet (2013).
    She tried to downplay her glamorous image with a beehive-do and military dresses after becoming First Lady.
    A music video about her marriage - 'Xi Dada Loves Peng Mama' - went viral.
    She softens her husband's image in what could arguably be called state propaganda.

    She enlisted in the People’s Liberation Army at age 18.
    She became famous singing for the Chinese troops and won numerous contests with her ability.
