| Teen Lookalike of Cecilia Cheung Becomes Online Sensation – But Mum Says ‘No Showbiz Just Yet’ |
“Like Cecilia Cheung’s daughter that never existed” – Chinese netizens are totally losing it over a 15-year-old girl from Henan who’s suddenly gone viral for her jaw-dropping visuals.
Known only as Qiqi, the teen became a trending topic after a casual street video of her – filmed by a local content creator – hit social media and racked up nearly 6 million views in just a few days.

What got everyone talking? Her innocent, almost ethereal visuals that had people comparing her to a mix of Hong Kong superstar Cecilia Cheung, actress Song Zuer, and model Angelababy.
Some even joked that Qiqi looked like the imaginary daughter of Cecilia and Nicholas Tse, who famously share two sons, Lucas and Quintus.
The clip shows Qiqi shyly smiling and strolling through town with an effortlessly clean and elegant look. No heavy makeup, no flashy fashion – just that soft, old-school movie star glow.
But it didn’t stop with just online buzz.

Famed Chinese producer Yu Zheng – the man behind mega-hit period drama Story of Yanxi Palace – was so intrigued by Qiqi that he personally contacted her mother to offer a potential shot in the entertainment world.
However, according to Yu Zheng, Qiqi’s mum politely declined, saying her daughter should stay focused on school for now.
“She wants Qiqi to continue her studies. No rush into entertainment,” Yu Zheng shared via Weibo.

That didn’t stop fans from rooting for her future. Many are already predicting she’s got top star potential, and producers will be lining up with offers once she’s ready. A few even dubbed her a future “Goddess of the New Generation”.
On Chinese social media, hashtags like #QiqiLooksLikeCeciliaCheung and #StreetBeautyHenan were trending for hours, with thousands commenting on how “clean”, “pure” and “natural” she looked compared to today’s overproduced influencer scene.
