Xie Xiaoxing, 27, won 'best camera image' in the Fujian regional heat of the contest to select Miss China for Miss Universe 2006.
The organisers assumed he was female - but he had only had the first phase of surgery to turn him into a woman.
Mr Xie says the Fashion Beauty Plastic Surgery Hospital in Fuzhou city had offered him a full sex change in exchange for him advertising its services.
"After the first phase of surgery, I stopped for a while to deal with some personal issues, and when I came back last autumn they'd gone bankrupt," he said.
Mr Xie says he isn't sure now whether he's a man or a woman and can't even get a job because he can't confirm his gender.
"Some companies would like to hire me but can't take me, since I can't provide them with an ID card," he added.
Mr Xie says his only hope of leading a normal life is to find a way to complete the second phase of his operation, reports Southeastern News Express.
