Jiang's comic video monoblogs poke fun at everyday topics, including relations between men and women in China. For example, Papi Jiang, who successfully raised funding for her act earlier this year, has become the talk of the town,' Meng said. 'In 2016, the so-called Wang Hong economy experienced a boom as a result of video posts. The success of Papi Jiang, with rapid-paced comedy monologues, turned a new chapter for the emerging industry, he added. With the penetration of handheld devices, the outreach of internet video has accelerated to make Wang Hong's road to stardom easier, Meng said.

Some of my classmates may also work in the same line of business,' Huang told VOA.
