In the first two weeks since this video of Liu Zhu was posted, it has been viewed just over 4 million times, with an overwhelming majority supporting it. Liu Zhu was born on January 9, 1991, in Nanchong, Sichuan province. He is currently a student of Sichuan Conservatory of Music. This is a Youku video, for the YouTube version, click here.
Wearing a dress, long wavy hair and some makeup, on the stage of Hunan TV's popular all male singing talent show Super Boy (or Happy Boy, inspired by UK's Pop idol), Liu Zhu (刘著) appears as a sweet-looking college girl. However, he (yes, he) has not come to compete at the wrong show, as he is indeed a boy.

I tend to dismiss anything in show biz, as being show biz in the first place.
