Internet Sensation

Li Fugui, a 27-year-old tofu seller from Xinxiang, has gained internet fame in China for her videos showcasing her work and rural life. Starting her day at 5 a.m., she delivers tofu and other necessities to elderly residents in rural villages. Beyond selling goods, Li assists the elderly, helping them with tasks and connecting them with family. Her videos highlight the beauty of the countryside and her genuine community care, resonating with viewers who appreciate her authenticity and hard work.

A four-second video propelled Peking University’s Professor Wei Dongyi (“Wei Shen”) to internet fame. Dubbed “The Unassuming Monk,” his modest appearance, contrasting with his mathematical genius, captivated millions. Wei’s simple lifestyle and recent video, including his missing teeth, sparked online discussion. The clip’s release, timed with China’s Gaokao, drew hopeful comments, symbolizing aspirations for academic success.
