Pamela Anderson, the actor's co-star in 'The Naked Gun', seems to think a late-career stint in comedy awaits him.
Robyn Qiu filming for a video streaming session in her parents' metal parts factory in Nantong, China . Qiu said the reaction to her videos has been 'amazing', with more than 500 buyers contacting her since May this year, and more than 150,000 users following her Instagram page.
"Even when they were starting the factory, their goal for me, their expectation for me is to really get a good education and break out of the cycle of farmers," Qiu said of her parents, who come from agricultural communities. In her videos, a cheerful Qiu speaks in fluent English, narrating as she buys street snacks in Shanghai or listing China’s key manufacturing zones while walking along a factory assembly line.Qiu’s parents, who founded the factory in the 1990s, were part of a massive wave of entrepreneurship that marked the first decades of China’s reform and opening up, when the country transformed into the world’s factory – and eventually, its second largest economy.
The Qius have adapted – they recently purchased more advanced equipment to automate more of the manufacturing process. Law runs her own shampoo brand, with packaging and formulas inspired by traditional Chinese herbal remedies. Her online success is mirrored by other"Changerdai", the Chinese name for second-generation factory owners – a play on"Fuerdai", a phrase used to describe often idle scions of generational wealth.On Instagram, Guangzhou-based LC Sign has drawn half a million followers through videos in which a man,"Tony", shows off LED signs and does impressions of former US president Donald Trump.
When Robyn Qiu was a child, her parents encouraged her to aim for a white-collar office job far from the dust and din of the factory floor. — AFP
