In the past few days, the beautiful Internet celebrity "Russian Nana" has completely caught fire, with a pair of turquoise eyes and a very atmospheric facial outline.
Although he is a foreigner, he has a heart that loves China, and the video is repeated with those few words:
"Hello Chinese brothers and sisters, I came to lovely China, and I have fallen in love with the grass and trees here.
I especially like China, the Chinese people are simple and kind, and I will return to my country in the future to publicize our greatEr China. ”
"Hello Chinese brothers and sisters, I am Russian Nana, and yesterday someone asked me:
Nana, if you choose to be a Chinese or a Russian in the next life, I will say without hesitation, I will still be a Chinese.
I like our harmonious family in China, and I feel very warm everywhere in China. ”
In order to get a Chinese green card, foreigners have to do their best, just like you can get a Tsinghua Peking University. ”
Then he began to put on a sensational song that middle-aged and elderly people liked, and sang to the mouth with indifference.
Good guys, this is to play the traffic password thoroughly, just with such a few short videos, it has gained nearly 2 million fans on the platform.
What is surprising is that this so-called "Russian Nana" is actually not a foreigner at all.
She simply used the AI face-changing props on the short video platform, coupled with a bad Mandarin, which made many people believe it:
"Good afternoon foreign friends! People sing sweet! ”
"Chinese's talking, singing so well!" The friendship between China and Russia lasts forever! ”
Nana began to bring goods along the trend, what Russian beef tendon sausage, Russian imported chocolate, Russian wafer biscuits, sales are amazingly good, make a lot of money.
Are you saying it's because of how clever the scammers are? This is not the case.
Young people with a little bit of Internet common sense often can see that this is the use of AI face-changing technology when they watch the video, because this face is too unnatural and too hades.
And the first part of the video just speaks crappy Mandarin with a little accent, and the later part begins to sing fluent Chinese songs, is this reasonable?
Not to mention that there are often some dew filling moments in her videos, such as props sometimes failing, and there will be several frames that reveal her true appearance:
Look at this native Chinese facial features... It can be said that it has nothing to do with foreigners.
It is precisely because this phenomenon is so outrageous and funny that "Russian Nana" has landed on Weibo as the first hot search.
And the major short video platforms have also quickly announced a complete ban on this Internet celebrity, so that she can no longer come out as a demon.
CCTV also published an article, criticizing bitterly: "Don't let go of this Nana! ”
However, this absurd event, beneath the hilarious surface, lurks a thought-provoking social symptom.
A Russian Nana has nakedly displayed the huge separation between the first-tier cities in the north, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen and the fourth- and fifth-tier rural areas, between young people and middle-aged and elderly people.

Under the comments on the relevant Weibo of Russian Nana, several of the popular ones are saying: The elders in their own families will definitely believe in it.
"My dad should have believed it."
"My grandmother should have believed it and forwarded it to the family group."
I only know that in the mobile phone is a living person talking to himself, so that he has an outlet for emotional catharsis.
In the short video platform, a variety of "low imitation" accounts of celebrities such as "fake Jack Ma" and "fake Andy Lau" that are easy for most people to identify at a glance can still have tens of thousands of fans.
Remember the "fake Jin Dong" incident that was raging before?
A 60-year-old Huang Aunt, as if brainwashed, insisted that she and the big star Jin Dong had a heart to heart.
To this end, he also slept in a separate room with her husband, fought in the Cold War, cut his hair, ran away from home, and lost more than a dozen pounds.
She also told reporters that Jin Dong announced to the whole country that he liked her and wanted to buy her a house of five or six hundred thousand.
The so-called "Jin Dong" is actually the same liar as "Russian Nana".
Some interview videos and TV drama clips of actor Jin Dong are used, plus "dummies" dubbed in the later stage.
Anyone with a little common sense can see that this is an outrageous fake video, but for middle-aged and elderly women who live in rural areas, have a low level of education, and are unfamiliar with new things and technologies such as the Internet and short videos, they simply do not have the ability to detect the scam.
They don't know what "algorithmic distribution" is, they just know that the video is pushed to their homepage:
"This phone is mine, so he sent me this video."
They don't know what "AI" or "artificial intelligence" are, and they can't tell if the dubbed mechanical male voice is Jin Dong.
They don't know what is called fixed speech, precise cutting of leeks, and they don't know that the people in the video don't know themselves at all.
I only know those few sentences, "Sister, I wish you all the best and be happy every day", "Sister, I am Jin Dong, your support is my motivation" let myself listen to it, and the gray and obscure life seemed to be illuminated into a light.
Behind the seemingly absurd scam, there is a large number of middle-aged and elderly people in rural areas who lack emotions, are limited by their cultural level and lack spiritual life.

There was an article before, called "There is no Jin Dong in the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and there is no Li Birthday in the fourth and fifth lines", which made a special impression on me.
The author said: Our material life is folded, in fact, the spiritual life is also folding.
The specific performance is: "White-collar workers in first-tier cities will never like the hottest paragraphs on a short video, on the contrary, the topics that burst in the city have no sound on a short video platform." ”
He square divine comedy, you European and American pop; he crosses the occult, your famous classics; he heaven blesses brother giao, you Degang Li birthday; he is paying tips to lao tie on live broadcast, and you listen to financial forums in online classes.
He can't understand Nolan's movies, can't hear the metaphorical memes in Li's talk show, and you can't understand what is good about the live broadcast full of "old iron" and "family".
Two worlds that have no resonance at all and no intersection are like two circles on the same piece of paper, although in the same space, but there is almost no intersection, and it is difficult to flow and communicate between the two circles.
This is the victory of the "trickle-down effect" in economics, and it is also the accurate embodiment of the "information cocoon" in communication.
The American writer Will Rogers said sarcastically: "Give all the money to the rich at the top, hoping that it will flow into the hands of the poor bit by drop." ”
In fact, money and information are intercepted by the rich, and the knowledge gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger.
At the same time, the Internet has created an ocean of information for us, but "algorithms" and "self-selection" are weaving an information cocoon.
The things you see are all what you want to see, and after a long time, you will find that your cognition is becoming more and more solidified, and many people are not even aware of it.
I hope we see more of those on the edge of the internet and society than to sneer and dismiss them from on high.
