In 2018, 22-year old TikTok/Douyin dancer Chen Qiaofeng was killed in the middle of a busy

city centre in China. She had shot to internet fame only 2 months before her death after she

filmed a viral video that made her an influencer overnight. But in the months leading up to

her murder, her boyfriend Wu Yidong had been subjecting her to a life of abuse. And since

she became viral online, his abuse and obsession over her intensified. Because not only

was she his girlfriend, but now she would become his income.


When Qiaofeng couldn’t take his exploitative abuse any longer, she tried to escape. But

weeks later, he would end her life. In front of an audience of passers-by, ready with their

phones out to capture the influencer’s dying moments.
