‘Sister Feng’ & ‘Brother Sharp’ Celebrities Were Engineered

Sister Feng & Brother Sharp, China internet celebrities.

We first reported about Sister Feng last year when she became famous on the Chinese internet as the ugly but audacious girl in Shanghai distributing leaflets with a list of high demands seeking a boyfriend and eventual husband. Last month, we discovered that she works in a Carrefour supermarket and that one BMW driver sought a date with her for Valentine’s Day. Her latest news?

From Mop:

Sister Feng hugged and kissed by new boyfriend, hot scene!!

Luo Yufeng, March 9th on a Shanghai television show, with new boyfriend, rumored to be a student at a certain Zhejiang media school, for whom Sister Feng has given up her oath to only marry elite Tsinghua graduates in Economics or similar.

Sister Feng and her new boyfriend?

Netizens have named Sister Feng’s [凤姐 feng jie] boyfriend “Sister’s Husband” [凤姐夫 feng jie fu].

Maybe it is only funny if you understand Chinese.

Comments from Mop:

馒头虫爷:

If this guy does not marry Sister Feng, everyone search out this bastard’s information, so we can go block his door every day and pour shit on his door until he commits suicide in apology.

一声声再见不停再倒带:

Cute Sister Feng,

actually being seized by someone…

Sister Feng, how could you go for him?

- – ! Have the two of them XXOO yet?

Curious~~~

If this man does not marry Sister Feng, he is bound to be killed…

星灭魂:

Good thing I haven’t eaten…gag…this man is too NB…going this far…just to become famous!

放心我不是好人:

This man…is crazy? [crazy 疯 feng is the same sound as Sister Feng's name 凤 feng]

满面狰狞的小白兔:

The guy simply loves those with heavy flavor~

乱舞命衰:

What a tragedy. To contribute towards a new page [of comments]. How can that guy match Sister Feng? What a tragedy. Obama, your woman was stolen… [This commenter is joking that only Obama would be good enough for Sister Feng].

小小黑861128:

There truly are all sorts of people! Liking this kind [of woman], is very special/unique!

烽火火山:

毛恒他爹:

楼主是个杯具:

Too TM disgusting!!!
Asian girl vomiting.

But there is bigger news than Sister Feng with a pretty boy…and this news also involves Brother Sharp, a beggar in Ningbo who suddenly became famous when photographs of him were posted online and Chinese netizens hailed him as the most handsome and trendy beggar. Last week, due to the attention of so many netizens, Brother Sharp was admitted to a hospital and then reunited with his family who have been searching for him for years. What is this bigger news for both Sister Feng and Brother Sharp?

From Xinmin:

Recently, a post-80s generation internet venture/promotions team published a post on a certain famous BBS discussion forum claiming that they were the masterminds behind the Brother Sharp and Sister Feng celebrity phenomenon.

When this information was published, it immediately incited a great uproar — – with a netizen commenting: “Us previously following Brother Sharp and Sister Feng so closely was only because it was engineered. Once thinking they were cups, only to discover now that we were the true cups!”

Sleeping four to five hours each day taking turns refreshing

“Netizens, you have all been deceived, Sister Feng and Brother Sharp were both single-handedly engineered by a certain behind-the-scenes group, and the engineers were us” one netizen whose internet name is “Extraordinary Dreams” revealed all over the Tianya BBS discussion forum, immediately attracting the curiosity of many netizens. Afterward, journalists contacted the poster, Cheng Long, and according to his explanation, they are a venture/promotions group in Shandong, with a total of 4 people, and as the team’s core, he directly participated in making these 2 people “suddenly famous”.

When Sister Feng was still in Lujiazui [Shanghai] handing out leaflets, they had approached her, and after she had participated on the television talk show, they immediately and frenziedly reposted Sister Feng’s quotes/comments. To prevent their posts from sinking down [becoming "buried" by new BBS discussion forum topics], they only slept four to five hours every day taking turns refreshing them [keeping them at the top of the forums].

As for Brother Sharp becoming famous, according to them it was completely by accident. Cheng Long claims that they just happened to encounter the down and out Brother Sharp when they were traveling and then posted his photographs onto the internet, never expecting that they would inadvertently raise and even allow Brother Sharp to overtake Sister Feng.

Squatting the “Sister Feng” domain name awaiting business opportunities

As it is understood, these 4 people have already squatted all “Sister Feng”, “Brother Sharp”, and related domain names, with one dating website with the domain name ” Yu Feng Jie [Sister Yu Feng]” having already launched a week ago.

According to their plans, this dating website allows registered male and female members to arrange dates after paying a set fee. Allegedly, in the week since this website was launch, there are already over 200 registered members, with daily pageviews steady at around 500.

Do you believe them or do you believe they are just trying to become famous using Sister Feng and Brother Sharp?

Not the “Yu Feng Jie” dating website. chinaSMACK personals.

  1. Maybe if domains were registered before Sister Feng and Brother Sharp came in prominence. According to what those 4 ppl said, they just used Feng and Sharp popularity. Maybe, they lying about whole stuff just to promote themselves.

  2. Sofawolf??

    Dammmmmmn that girl looks odd. Brother Sharp is a legend btw, just thought I’d say that, true legend.

  3. Wow sounds like a serious case of Chinese being pwned by massive samefagging of a thread.

    • I’m amazed they haven’t built up a resistance to this sort of thing yet.. It’s such a connected culture you would think they can see thru fakeposts and amway and what not but alas, no

      my chinese girlfriend does have a reasonable amount of skepticism, though – she refuses to believe anyone from thailand is actually a female

  4. Well, I actually masterminded the team that engineered Sister Feng and Brother Sharp. So, like, pay attention to me, right?

  5. Sister Feng maybe engineered but brother sharp was a genuine fucking bum. There are enough pictures of random college students who posed with this guy in ninbo.

    I think other people were trying to cash in these 15min celebrities. That’s how the entertainment industry works everywhere.

  6. I am scared of going back to China for holiday now.

  7. Is that guy old enough to drive a BMW?

    He can sit on cushions I suppose :)

    Brother Sharp would look cool driving a Jaguar XKR

  8. Wow. What does engineering and Brother Sharp have to do with this?

  9. This is a real non-story and a new all-time low-point. Booooooorrrrrringggg!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. very good gif vomiting in comment

  11. from the sideshot sis feng looks like quite normal.
    with a big smile like that, i’m happy for her. also i have this urge to jump on her back and ride her too.

  12. I agree with GodsHammer. I like when ChinaSmack covers more important stories. What ever happened to great stories like “China has no man suitable for me.” or “Chinese weiners are too small for my buns.” or “Ching Chang Chong can’t get into my Thing.”

  13. Just plain stupid! It reflects how lowly the mentality is of the local Chinese from China.

  14. I learn more about China from China Smack than any other source. Academic or otherwise. I’m reminded though that the internet encourages information warfare both internally and externally when it gets tricky to work out who is deceiving who.

    Anyway, I like it all.

  15. He’s cute. But I wonder if their relationship is for real.

  16. The Western media makes and breaks celebrities as business. Celebrities are also a form of social control – a way of keeping the masses minds distracts from important issues.

  17. the latter, brother sharp is definitely a true story, as I have encountered him on the streets at least a dozen times in the past 6 years that I’ve lived in Ningbo. Also, there was a segment on the local Ningbo news just this week about his reunion with his family.

  18. It sounds like Sister Feng genuinely handed out fliers and they got in touch with her early on, making some arrangement to make her famous by promoting her online in exchange for also exploiting that fame.

    As for Brother Sharp, it sounds like they’re saying they posted the photos that made him famous (which may not have anything to do with the other netizen who posted photos of him wearing women’s clothes in 2008), and Brother Sharp took off virally more than Sister Feng.

    If so, that means both Sister Feng and Brother Sharp were the real deal, but Sister Feng “sold out” her insanity early on, whereas Brother Sharp remains completely innocent, only exploited.

    The group sounds like any online (viral) marketing team, except they’re claiming two bona fide internet celebrities as evidence of the results they can deliver. I’m inclined to think Sister Feng as an “internet celebrity” was definitely heavily manufactured and maybe they were behind it. As for Brother Sharp, I think he was more inherently and genuinely viral, though I wouldn’t discount someone (maybe this group) contributing to it by the methods they describe.
