How exactly did a young Chinese girl talking into a camera in her bedroom secure 12 million RMB ($1.84 million USD) in investment?
Overnight internet sensation Papi Jiang did it by posting funny videos of her doing things like mixing Shanghai Dialect with English.
旁友，papi醬把普通話、上海閒話和ENGLISH捏一捏，語速做做快，寶寶們就稀奇勿色啦……
This begs the question—how many long-time Shanghai expats are sitting on Papi Jiang levels of talent, just waiting to be embraced by the loving arms of the Chinese netizen population?
Still think Shanghai natives are the only ones who can speak the dialect? Check out this impressive video to see some Western friends spit Shanghainese like a local.
熬油，生活在魔都的老外們多麼臥虎藏龍，不看你絕對不知道。戳視頻笑到你233333……
