Here’s what we know about her.
A woman adopted by a Chinese couple is going viral.
Two decades ago, a couple worked together in Pakistan and found a child abandoned in a cardboard box along the street. They brought her back to their home country, China, where they raised her in their hometown, Henan province, as their own child.
She was named Fan Zihe which means “vigorous and long-lived.”
Fan became a viral sensation in 2021 after her video squatting while eating local noodles made the rounds online. Fans loved her duality, eating casually yet looking so beautiful.
- “She looks like a supermodel until she opens her mouth.”
- “Henan’s Cleopatra.”
Fan Zihe has continued to upload videos about her daily life online. As she lives in a farming village, she posts many videos of her daily chores in the field. She also videos herself eating noodles, asking for lucky money from the elderly in her family, and other normal activities that a Chinese girl would do.
As a Douyin content creator, she earns 4,000 yuan ($550 USD) a month, over double the average salary of a farmer at 1,678 yuan ($232 USD).
Fan Zihe is open about her love for her parents and vice versa. The latter has always defended her when critics made fun of her skin color, saying, “Our daughter’s dark skin is beautiful and healthy.”
Fan, on her end, hopes to one day repay her parent’s love by buying them a flat in the city.
People say loving a person is like growing a flower. I think the best gardeners are my parents.
