Thai KOL hails bare hand opening of spiky durians by China live-streamers ‘new kung fu’
- Thai woman marries Chinese man, posts videos sharing cultural quirks
A key opinion leader from Thailand has been captivated by durian sellers in China who open the fruit with their bare hands and estimate its weight – calling their skills the “new kung fu”.
Mina, who is in her 20s, married a Chinese man five years ago and settled in Beijing. She often posts YouTube videos documenting the cultural differences in their relationship.
On May 30, she posted a video saying that she had recently become obsessed with watching Chinese durian live-streaming.
On Douyin, sellers can be seen surrounded by dozens of durians, enthusiastically introducing their taste, origin and the latest promotional deals to audiences.
One such live-stream can attract up to 10,000 viewers.
“I find the Chinese sellers are very friendly. They call me sister or baby, creating a great atmosphere, which makes me very happy to watch,” Mina said.
