| Chongqing University Student Gains 28K Followers After Being Compared to Late Actress Barbie Hsu |
A 24-year-old medical student from Chongqing Medical University has taken Chinese social media by storm after netizens started calling her the spitting image of late Taiwanese superstar Barbie Hsu, better known to fans as Dae S.
It all started when the student—whose identity remains under wraps—shared a handful of serene travel snaps from her recent trip to Qinghai.

The vibe was low-key, but her ethereal visuals didn’t go unnoticed. Within days, netizens flooded the comments saying she looked like a “parallel world version of Barbie Hsu.”
And they weren’t joking. From her side-profile to her gentle gaze, many reckoned it felt like seeing Dae S all over again—just in scrubs instead of the spotlight.
Since joining social media last month, the student has only made eight posts—but the response has been anything but average. She's racked up 28,000 followers in under two weeks, and one of her posts alone has blown up with over 100,000 likes.

The now-viral student finally responded to the whirlwind attention in a calm and gracious tone. Posting through her account, she thanked everyone for the unexpected love but made it clear that she’s just a regular med student with zero showbiz ambitions.
“I really appreciate the kindness and support, but honestly, I’m just a normal student,” she wrote. “The photos were all taken with my phone, no fancy filters or edits. The resemblance to Barbie Hsu? Pure coincidence—probably just angles or lighting.”
She also gently addressed any speculation about image crafting, saying she’s always admired Barbie Hsu but never had plans to copy her, let alone profit from the likeness.
“I do like Barbie [Hsu], but I never intended to imitate her—definitely not riding on the resemblance,” she clarified.

And to cap it off, she took a firm stance on one hot topic often linked to visuals: cosmetic surgery. She assured followers that she’s content with her appearance as it is.
“I’m genuinely satisfied with how I look. I’ve never had plastic surgery, and I don’t plan on having any in the future either,” she added.
For now, the young woman seems to be handling the spotlight with grace, balancing her medical studies with this unexpected brush with online fame. Whether she’ll stick around in the influencer sphere or fade back into student life is anyone’s guess—but one thing’s for sure, the internet loves a doppelgänger moment.
