Meaning:

    This is the online nickname of 29-year-old Jiang Yilei, a Shanghai native. She is a student from the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing. Dubbed the “No. 1 online celebrity” on the Chinese mainland now, “papi酱” is known by many more people than her real name. She has more than 8 million followers on Sina Weibo. Calling herself a “poor girl with small breasts,” she shot to fame in October last year after posting original short videos online mocking many aspects of daily life. Young people, especially those born in the 1990s, love her for her candid, hilarious and sometimes vicious criticism. She commented on many topics, like relationships, bad movies and the Chinese tourists’ craze to buy Japanese toilet seats. She and her video team won 12 million yuan of venture capital investment in March.
