Creators Spark Global Interest In Chinese Lifestyle

In late 2025, Chinese American creator Sherry XiiRuii launched #BecomingChinese, a series of more than 20 humorous tutorials that averaged about 1 million views per video within two months and drew celebrity participation and widespread imitation across TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. Observers attribute the viral trend to Gen Z wellness focus, interest in traditional practices, and China's rising soft power, noting its role in grassroots cultural exchange and global perception shifts.
