| Jackson Yee Proves Silence Can Trend: 14M Watch Him Stack Rocks |
When most livestreamers fight to keep their chat lively, Jackson Yee just proved silence might be the loudest flex.
The 24-year-old actor and singer — known worldwide as a member of TFBoys and a rising name in Chinese cinema — casually jumped on a livestream.
After greeting fans with a quick hello, he proceeded to… stack stones.
No music, no filters, no chatter.
Just 17 minutes of Jackson Yee quietly balancing one rock on top of another.
Sounds like a recipe for instant boredom? Not quite.
Within the first eight minutes, more than 13.7 million viewers were glued to their screens, waiting to see what he’d do next.

By the time he wrapped up with a cheeky: “The big one looks too ugly. So boring. I am done. Bye” — the numbers had soared past 14 million.
That’s right.
Fourteen million people just tuned in to watch one of China’s biggest stars do what looked suspiciously like a mindfulness exercise.
One fan even counted his words. The grand total? Less than 30 words.
Social media quickly exploded with theories.
“Was he forced to do it?” one confused viewer.
Others came to his defence: “If you’re a fan, you already know Jackson’s not much of a talker.”
Another added, “Just be yourself. Loving you is our job.”
"I think he needs help".

Critics, meanwhile, rolled their eyes at what they saw as a waste of time.
But even they couldn’t deny the sheer spectacle: millions staying hooked for a stone-stacking session that looked more like performance art than entertainment.
Jackson Yee has always carried an aura of quiet charisma, but this livestream might have taken that reputation to a new level.
In an online culture where content creators scramble for attention with noise and gimmicks, his minimalist approach somehow worked — and brilliantly.
Call it zen. Call it trolling. Call it modern art.
Either way, Jackson Yee once again proved he’s got the power to captivate audiences, even when saying almost nothing at all.
