James Cage White

**James Cage White** (Chinese: Cheng Xi; born October 15, 1984) is a Chinese internet personality. He first rose to prominence on the social media app Vine and gained hundreds of thousands of followers from a mostly Western audience. After the app shut down he moved to Twitter and Instagram, continuing to find success as he shared daily updates to his life as a single, blue-collar salary man. Once praised for his sincere behavior and positive outlook, he soon developed a reputation of being too open about his life and flaunting many of his regressive habits. Combined with a few controversial incidents and a failed marriage, James is now constantly mocked by the very fan base he worked so hard to cultivate.

While James' vine account came first, his Twitter has exponentially more information about his life and is frequently studied on this fan wiki. This is because he often shares details about his personal life with little to no filter, for better or for worse. At first he only spoke about his mother, who is overbearing and controls his love life, and sometimes his father, who suffered a stroke and is now bedridden. Throughout James' failed marriage of 2022, new characters came and went such as his now divorced ex-wife, his antagonistic father-in-law, and his very own son.

## History

The history of James can be summed up into 4 parts. His early history before social media, his rise to fame on vine and continued success, his marriage, and finally post-marriage.

### Early History

James Cage White was born in October 15, 1984 in Chongqing City to his mother and father. He seems to have had a normal childhood, going to school and playing computer games like most other children in the 90's. James picked up drawing as a hobby in Elementary school, a passion he has kept throughout his whole life. In 2003. he graduated high school and went to Sichuan International Studies to major in English.

Not too much is known about James' siblings, but we do know that he has a brother and more than one sister. James has mentioned that all his siblings are already married and started families of their own, making him feel more unaccomplished. According to his mother, he comes from a family of "intellectuals" and "highly talented scholars", which could be true for his siblings but harder to see in James himself.

#### First Usage of Social Media

In December 2011, James signed up on Twitter. His first ever tweet was replying to WWE wrestling star Randy Orton. Most of his other early tweets also replied to WWE idols like John Cena, even once telling Donald Trump to "Shut up". His early tweets were also very religious, which is very odd considering his current stance on Christianity. James would continue to use Twitter for the next decade, although it was not the platform where he would find most of his internet fame.

### Rise to Social Media Fame

In February 25, 2014 James signed up on Vine. From early on James was vocal about his attraction to White women, stating on his many platforms that he wanted to find a White woman to marry.

#### Unsuccessful Love Life

James' twitter wasn't always in the state it currently is. It was mostly just modest updates about his life and simple jokes. By 2018 James eventually began to post more frequently about some of his problems, like having a hard time at work or not being able to finding a girlfriend. Early on it was easier to sympathize with James as his issues were pretty relatable and he did seem like he was trying hard to fix them. going on dates frequently and trying again and again. He even once went on a dating show.

By 2019 James' efforts to find a girlfriend were becoming more and more futile. Often times he felt like the girls he were talking to did not have any interest for him, one girl refused to even hold his hand. Another one of his dates left just after 10 minutes. It should be noted that James wasn't entirely without blame, as often he depended on his own mother to find him dates and even once told a girl that his mother thought she was fat. James also had the strange habit of making his partner take pictures of him alone on their dates, for some reason never taking a picture of the two of them together. Nevertheless, James began to feel hopeless and it was at this time he started to believe in concepts like fate having already decided his future (although he called it "destiny" back then).

In 2020 James' love life got even worse. He was dating a girl in a library and then suddenly told her to leave. He rejects another girl for not giving him an umbrella. He got angry at another girl for also not sharing her umbrella. The recurring "umbrella" thing became a meme in his community, and one of the first memes directly mocking James. At this time, James' community was still mostly supporters with a few trolls beginning to appear. If you want to get a sense of the positive feedback James often received, look at the replies of this post where he announced that he stands with Black Lives Matter. Sure, at the time it was a popular topic on the platform, but today if he posted something like this it would be endlessly mocked.

### Marriage

Suddenly on April 19, 2021, without warning, James announces that he has a girlfriend he plans to marry in just a few weeks. Many fans were taken back by this news, as just a month earlier he was still as single as ever and lamented not having a girlfriend. It appears James had finally given in and (allegedly) spent 10k for an arranged marriage to take place, securing him his first wife. However this marriage was riddled with failure and we saw his life considerably worsen during it, he lost his job, constantly fought with his father-in-law, and finally divorced her in Feb 2nd 2023. Although perhaps the greatest cost to James during all of this, was losing custody of his only son.

While this was all happening, his fan base had completely turned on him at this point due to his horrible behavior. At least before some people were still trying to give James good advice, but not even a single person was rooting for James any more because of how apparently he was sabotaging his own life with his laziness and stupidity.

### Post Marriage

James' life has totally stagnated after the marriage. Now he doesn't even try to go out on dates. Whatever remaining desire he had to get a job is totally out the window because he no longer has a family to support. Due to all of this, his Twitter is now significantly less interesting. He mostly just posts updates counting how long he's gone without jerking off or buying a video game. Most of his fans continue to mock him as much as ever, but are also waiting for something more noteworthy to happen in his life.
