He enjoyed listening to his mother's stories of "mother-in-law tattooing characters" from a young age, and also enjoyed listening to the storytelling "The Legend of Yue Fei" from a young age. "Being loyal and serving the country" has always been his goal.
According to public media reports, in the past 10 years, Shenjinke has organized more than 210 news release activities. During his 10 year tenure, Shen Jinke was the military news spokesperson who made the most public appearances wearing camouflage uniforms. Especially in the news release work of police patrols in the East China Sea, war patrols in the South China Sea, military exercises in the Taiwan Strait, and military exercises in the open sea, Shen Jinke often releases information at first tier airports, grasping the international discourse power and public opinion initiative. He also hosted multiple international news release events with the participation of air force leaders from multiple countries such as Russia and Pakistan, exploring and proposing the communication concept of "grasping the initiative of public opinion not only requires frequent strategic discussions, but also more tactical actions". He also stated, "The position of military news spokesperson is on the battlefield."
According to China News Network, in 2014, Shen Jinke issued a one-year speech as a spokesperson for his performance, stating, "It is my basic responsibility to convey the voice of the Air Force and tell the story of the Air Force well. I hope that through hard work and learning, I will not disappoint the trust and training of the organization, the support and help of comrades in arms, the attention of journalists and friends, and the expectations of the public. The 'Three Lives Up' are my efforts, and I earnestly request everyone's support and help."
Since September 2018, while serving as the spokesperson for the Air Force, Shen Jinke has also served as the deputy director in charge of news and public opinion, online public opinion, and news publishing at the Air Force Propaganda Bureau.

Colonel Shen Jinke stated that the J-20 has spread throughout the southeast, northwest, and central regions, with more and more trains and flying farther and farther. The magnificent flight paths of the J-20 flapping its wings in the East China Sea, South China Sea, and Taiwan Strait have drawn a concentric circle of a strong country and a strong military. In the Taiwan Strait, domestically produced fighter jets such as the J-20, J-16, H-6K, and Y-20 have soared high, enhancing their ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
On the morning of September 16, 2022, the ninth batch of 88 remains of Chinese People's Volunteer Army martyrs in South Korea returned to their homeland.
