Fan Zihe, a 20-year-old Chinese influencer of Pakistani origin, has won the hearts of people in both China and Pakistan with her touching life story and recent marriage. Fan’s journey began in Pakistan, where she was abandoned as a baby in a cardboard box. Her life took a turn when a Chinese couple working in Pakistan adopted her. They had no children of their own and decided to raise her as their daughter. Fan grew up in rural Henan province, China, living a modest life on a farm.

Her life changed in late 2023 when a short video of her eating noodles in her strong Henan accent went viral online. The video captured attention for its simplicity and authenticity. Soon, Fan became a social media sensation, gaining over 1.8 million followers. People admired not only her beauty but also her humble attitude and the way she stayed close to her roots. She often shares glimpses of her farm life and uses her platform to promote local produce, helping her community grow.

Amid her growing fame, Fan met her now-husband, Lyu Xiaoshuai, who had been one of her earliest fans. Impressed by her kindness and strength, Lyu gradually became an important part of her life. Their bond grew over the years, starting from a friendship through mutual friends and blossoming into love. Lyu supported Fan in her influencer journey, helping with editing videos, managing equipment, and even assisting her adoptive parents on the farm.

After being together for three years, the couple tied the knot on September 17 in a simple and traditional wedding. The ceremony was live-streamed on social media and gained huge attention. Unlike many weddings, there was no bride price, and both families fully supported their union. In a sweet gesture, Lyu decorated the wedding with an ocean theme, symbolising the sea Fan had never seen before.

Their marriage has been described as a “fairy tale” by fans online, who call Fan their “Henan princess” and encourage Lyu to cherish her forever. What makes this love story even more special is Fan’s journey from an abandoned child to a celebrated influencer who continues to inspire people with her resilience, humility, and now, her happily-ever-after.
