‘Sisters Who Make Waves 7’ Team Selection — No One Wants Her; Fan Weiqi Breaks Down in Tears: ‘I Knew This Would Happen’

Popular Chinese show ‘Riding the Wind 2026’ (‘Sisters Who Make Waves 7’) has been a hot topic since it premiered. 50-year-old Fan Weiqi, known as a vocal-type singer, found herself not invited to join any team during the team selection round for the fourth public performance in the latest episode, causing her emotions to break down as she cried on the spot.

The popular Chinese show ‘Riding the Wind 2026’ (‘Sisters Who Make Waves 7’) has been constantly discussed since it began airing. This season adopts a completely live broadcast approach, emphasizing no pitch correction and presenting the sisters’ stage skills and reactions in real time, keeping the show’s discussion level high.

50-year-old Fan Weiqi is a vocal-type singer whose dance foundation is relatively weak. Unexpectedly, in the most recent episode during the fourth public performance’s team selection segment, she was not invited by any captain, causing her to break down and cry on stage, sparking heated discussion among netizens.

Later, in the second round where captains pick from the unselected members, Fan Weiqi still was not chosen. When the host announced, ‘No captain is inviting anyone at this time,’ the camera focused on Fan Weiqi. Although she tried hard to maintain a smile, her face was obviously awkward and disappointed, her eyes full of helplessness. What made it more touching was that when member Jiang Yuchen was chosen by captain Tang Yixin, Fan Weiqi clapped and offered her blessing, but immediately lowered her head and couldn’t help but start to cry.

Host Xie Na, sensitive to the change, immediately went over to Fan Weiqi and comforted her with an arm around her shoulder: ‘Because this segment is about dancing…’ she tried to explain. In response, Fan Weiqi leaned on Xie Na’s shoulder, self-deprecatingly whispering, ‘I knew this would happen… It’s alright, it’s alright, I know, I know, Nana, I know, I know.’ These few short words moved many viewers and made them feel for her.
