In China, Male Mermaids Are Making Waves
Defying gender stereotypes, male mermaids are making themselves seen on Chinese social media.

Quote

 

Zhao is now one of the best male mermaids in the country. He won this year’s national male mermaid competition held in Wuxi in the eastern Jiangsu province and leads a male mermaid team of his own, which competes around the country.

“Even if sometimes I lack oxygen when I hold my breath underwater for too long, I still feel calm. It’s a miraculous feeling,” said Zhao.

Quote

 

But as his account drew more followers, doubts began to surface, particularly surrounding his Chinese accent. As the scrutiny intensified, other users on Douyin found that the IP address of his account showed he was in Henan, which also matched up with his Chinese accent. 

In a statement Saturday, Douyin said it has indefinitely suspended the account for spreading misinformation and banned it from making money. At the time, the account had nearly 400,000 followers and had sold at least 210 items through its linked e-commerce store.

Prior to the ban, the account owner had taken down all the videos, and changed his account name from “Baoer Kechatie,” which resembles the protagonist Pavel Korchagin from the Russian novel “How the Steel Was Tempered,” to Wang Kangmei, which translates as “resistance to the United States.”
