After transitioning from real estate, cooking to blogging, Fu moves to Beijing, capitalising on an uncanny resemblance to the late monarch
A man in China with a striking resemblance to the country’s last feudal emperor, Puyi, has garnered considerable attention on social media.
Fu Qiang, 29, rose to fame last year after releasing a short video in which he donned Puyi’s signature jacket – a Chinese tunic suit, commonly known as a Mao suit – paired with round glasses, while walking through the Forbidden City. The video has amassed over 10 million views, according to the news portal The Cover.
Puyi (1906-1967), the last emperor of the Qing dynasty, is one of the most recognisable emperors among mainland Chinese audiences due to his connection to numerous significant historical events.
The Qing dynasty came to an end in 1912 following the Xinhai Revolution, which established the Republic of China.
