How a Chinese villager became a Twitter sensation

Hebei Pangzai’s real name is Liu Shichao. The odd job labourer hails from Zhengyuansi. Thanks to the internet, Liu now has over 130,000 followers on Twitter, drawn to his beerdrinking clips. At the peak of his fame on the Chinese internet, he had more than 400,000 Kuaishou followers. When he held live broadcasts, he could earn up to 300 yuan ($42.62).
