The "He" that dresses like a "She" and constantly blurs the lines of division between male and female has ignited a fierce debate in China.
Liu Zhu wants to be a television star after having earned some fame in a television talent contest that he was eliminated from.
The 19-year-old young man who looks and sounds every bit like a young woman was a smash hit on "Happy Boy," China's all-male talent show equivalent to "American Idol."
His name returns more than 19 million results hits on leading Chinese search engine Baidu while his blog has received 3 million hits.
