DONGGUAN, China (Kashmir English): A young married couple in China became an internet sensation this week after social media users mistook them for twin siblings due to their remarkable resemblance.
They resemble each other so closely that they can hardly be regarded as husband and wife instead of siblings.
Liang Caiyu and He Xiansheng, both in their twenties, operate a traditional herbal medicine shop in Dongguan, Guangdong Province of China.
“Twins” rose to fame through video clips
They rose to fame through short video clips on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.
In the beginning, their small herbal business struggled to attract customers but their fortune changed when they began uploading promotional videos online.
Once Liang noticed that her appearance mirrored that of her husband, she persuaded him to appear in short, humorous clips that emphasised their likeness by wearing identical clothing. These clips soon became the main feature of their business promotion.
Liang explained that in her first meeting with He, she had no idea of any resemblance between them. Over time, after spending nearly every hour together for the past two years — working, eating and resting side by side — she came to realise how alike they had become.
According to Liang, constant companionship had gradually shaped their faces into similar expressions and features.
Although He was shy by nature, he eventually agreed to take part in the videos. In some of them, he even dressed in women’s attire to highlight their weird similarity.
The light-hearted approach drew wide attention of the viewers who started following their page not merely for their herbal products but for the amusement of watching this twin-like husband and wife.
