Xin Rong was active as the [[Slayer]] in the year 1900. She was a skilled Slayer who was very close to her family, and knew of her destiny. On June 18, 1900, the [[vampires]] [[Angelus]], [[Darla]], [[Spike]], and [[Drusilla]] came to Peking (now transcribed in English as Beijing), China during the Boxer Rebellion. The Slayer fought Spike in a Buddhist temple and managed to physically scar him over his left eyebrow with her sword despite his vampiric healing factor. She had Spike pinned up against a wall, ready to stake him but an explosion outside rocked the building and she lost control of the situation. In the end, Spike won. Before he killed her, her last words were, "Tell my mother I'm sorry," (trad. 告訴我媽媽對不起 simp. 告诉我妈妈对不起) in Chinese, to which Spike replies, "Sorry love, I don't speak Chinese." He then drained her of her blood, leaving her in the temple to burn after feeding some of her blood to his lover [[Drusilla]].

Spike was able to knock her stake from her hand, catch her, and bite her neck. When Buffy Summers questioned him how he killed Xin Rong, he explained: "Lesson the first: a Slayer must always reach for her weapon. I've already got mine."[2]

Xin Rong's last dying words were, in Chinese: "Tell my mother I'm sorry." (trad. 告訴我媽媽對不起 simp. 告诉我妈妈对不起), to which Spike replied: "Sorry love, I don't speak Chinese." He threw her in the ground and left her body in the temple,[2] having killed the first of two Slayers that would give him notoriety as a Slayer hunter.[3]
