Zeng Yike is a young girl who became famous on the internet when she advanced to the Final 20 of the recent Happy Girls singing competition (similar to American Idol). One judge supported her but another judge strongly disagreed and then quit during the show as protest. Many people think her singing is terrible but some people like her because they think her singing is very “pure and innocent.”
A lot of people also think she looks like a man.
So, the photoshops began…
“I am Brother Hu” vs. “I am Brother Zeng”
Zeng Yike and Shen Lihui (the judge who voted for her to enter the Final 20 of Happy Girls singing competition)
“Brother Zeng Pure Man” (photoshop on body of famous Chinese model/actor 胡兵 Hu Bing)
“You can win if you are man enough.” & “Iron-blooded Real Man Zeng Ge (Brother Zeng)”
“I have pectoral muscles, do you? I am now going to hit airplane [attack airplane or masturbate]!”
The third sentence is too difficult to explain.
Who is “true Grandpa?” Who is Spring Brother?
Spring Brother or Brother Chun (春哥), is another famous female singer called Li Yuchun 李宇春 who many people also think looks like a man. So Zeng Yike became Brother Zeng (or sometimes 曾爷, which can mean “Grandpa Zeng” or “Old Man Zeng” or “Man Zeng”) and compared to Brother Chun. 爷，爷们，纯爷们 in a northern Chinese dialect is like “man” or “manly”.
“Just who is the true man?” (and fake SMS voting instructions)
There are many many photoshops of Brother Chun. Here are a few:
“Believe in Brother Chun and Receive The World.”
“Believe in Brother Chun and Receive Everlasting Life.”
These photoshops come from various Mop post topics about Zeng Yike.
