Ms Yeah

Some videos feature product placement; at a cost of 500,000 CNY, a product will be shown in the video. Unusually for a Chinese celebrity, the channel is more popular overseas than with domestic viewers, having 2.8 million followers on Facebook compared to 2.55 million on Weibo as of July 2017. Due to lack of narration, the videos have almost no language barrier. Furthermore, Ms Yeah and the production team use English on foreign social media, and in public appearances she appears to be fluent in English. This may explain the videos' popularity abroad.[4] As of September 2019, Ms Yeah has more than 7.51 million subscribers, making her one of the most successful Chinese YouTubers ever, despite the fact that access to YouTube has been restricted in China since 2008.

In 2019, two girls aged 12 and 14 from Shandong, were injured, one of them fatally, after allegedly attempting to copy one of Ms Yeah's videos. Ms Yeah paid a compensation for the hospital bills of the girls, but denied responsibility, as she warned users not to copy the videos, and the girl did not copy the exact method.[5] Following the accident, she reportedly considered quitting the video series after netizens blamed her for being responsible for the girl's death, but after a one month hiatus she continued uploading.[6][7] The video that was reportedly imitated has since been removed from the channel.[5]

Growing up, Zhou learned cooking from her father, who managed a hotel.[8]

She holds a degree in choreography from Sichuan Normal University[9] and a major in video directing. Her first job was an internship at Chengdu Radio & Television (成都电视台) as a video director, followed by a job as a wedding planner until working for her current employer.[10]
