There are many influencers who present rural China as an idyllic place. But Rose Mary Adikin – or Rose, as she is simply known – is a unique figure in the People’s Republic’s lucrative streaming and vlogging sphere simply because of her origins. The 30-year-old from Uganda has settled in a village in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang. Here, she shoots videos in perfect Mandarin with a local dialect, which have taken the Chinese internet by storm. Viewers are particularly fascinated by her cooking skills. She masters Chinese classics such as stinky tofu or roasted duck, just like her homeland’s popular jollof rice.
