Wu Xin (Chinese: 吴昕; born 29 January 1983),[1] also known by her English name Orfila (Chinese: 奥尔菲拉), is a Chinese television host, actress, model and businesswoman famous for co-hosting the variety show Happy Camp on Hunan Satellite TV from 2006 to 2021.[2]

Wu Xin was born in Shenyang, Liaoning on January 29, 1983. She attended Northeast Yucai School and Shenyang 120 High School (沈阳市第120中学), and graduated from Dalian University of Foreign Language, where she majored in French Language.[3]

In June 2003, Dalian TV was scouting for a part-time host from local colleges for its fashion show, and Wu signed up for the interview with encouragement from her teacher, successfully winning the role.

In September 2005, Wu applied for Hunan TV's write-in ballot show Shining New Host (闪亮新主播) for selecting new hosts for its flagship variety show Happy Camp after one of the show's original hosts, Li Xiang, decided to leave the show in 2004 and get married. Wu won second place in the final round in November, behind fellow Shenyang host Du Haitao, and was subsequently inducted as a new co-host of the restructured Happy Camp in 2006. Nicknamed the "Northeastern Hepburn" for her good looks, she would stay as one of the show's five ensemble hosts along with He Jiong, Li Weijia, Xie Na and Du Haitao, collectively known as the "Happy Family" (快乐家族), until the show was cancelled in 2021.

Outside of her Hunan TV host career, Wu also performed supporting roles in a number of films and television series, as well as being a guest host/participant/performer in other variety and game shows. Outside of the entertainment industry, she is also an accomplished entrepreneur who owns eight franchised Thai restaurants in Hunan, Guangdong, Tianjin and Shanxi,[4] and is a leading e-commerce celebrity endorser of fashion products on RedNote.[5]
