Hibiscus Older Sister
Chinese blogger Furong Jiejie (芙蓉??) also known as Hibiscus Older Sister, Sister Hibiscus, or Sister Furong is the center of attention of the Chinese government—they’re trying to erase her presense on the internet.
From Wired:
“Sister Furong started the craze by posting pictures of herself—draped back-down over a stone ball, bent at the knees with her chest thrust out suggestively and in other poses—on internet bulletin boards of two top Beijing universities to which she had tried but failed to gain entrance.
The shots, and accompanying captions and passages she wrote proclaiming her own beauty and talent, became a campus sensation.
But when her cult status began to sweep the whole country, Beijing stepped in.
“They’ve cracked down on me,” Sister Furong, a 28-year-old girl next door whose real name is Shi Hengxia, told Reuters.
In late July, authorities told the country’s top blog host to move Furong-related content to low-profile parts of the site. Her pictures can still be found online, but links to them and chatrooms about her have disappeared from the front pages of major web portals.”
