Biography

Jia was born 贾裕玲 (Jiǎ Yùlíng) in 1982 into a poor peasant family in Xiangyang, Hubei Province. After graduating from the Central Academy of Drama in 2003 where she studied Xiangsheng performance, she worked with crosstalk performer Feng Gong appearing a series of short sketches. In the same year she participated in China's National Comic sketch Tournament (全国相声小品邀请赛) winning first place.[3]

In 2010 she made her television debut during the 2010 CCTV New Year's Gala where she appeared in a segment called Gala Talk which was later voted the third favorite performance of the night. Later in 2015 she performed a controversial sketch of Hua Mulan where she implied Mulan to be a coward that was duped into joining the army. Her performance was described as inappropriate and defiling the nation's culture to which Jia later apologized for causing offense.[4]

gollark: I mean, as far as I can tell there isn't really a faster *and* more storage-efficient way to do search than the inverted-index page_tokens thing.
gollark: ```sqlCREATE TABLE crawl_queue ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, url TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, lockTime INTEGER, added INTEGER NOT NULL, referrer TEXT);CREATE TABLE pages ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, url TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE, rawContent BLOB NOT NULL, rawFormat TEXT NOT NULL, textContent TEXT NOT NULL, updated INTEGER NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE page_tokens ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, page INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES pages(id), token TEXT NOT NULL, weight REAL NOT NULL);CREATE TABLE links ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, toURL TEXT NOT NULL, fromURL TEXT NOT NULL, lastSeen INTEGER NOT NULL, UNIQUE (toURL, fromURL))```Here is the database.
gollark: To be fair, the text content field isn't that necessary, as for search it uses the page_tokens table anyway and it can be rebuilt from the HTML if I need it.
gollark: The frequency of every word *must* be stored for quick (O(log n) time or something) search, the raw HTML or at least might be needed if I come up with a better way to weight frequency or something, the links are useful for (future) better search ranking algorithms.
gollark: But I suppose I could drop the text bit, that can be reconstructed later™ and search doesn't really need it.
