Sister Hong takes over social media: Internet cross-dresses as China's ‘Red Uncle' who secretly filmed explicit videos with 1000 men

Time of India6 days ago
The internet rarely takes things seriously, and in yet another bizarre trend sweeping social media, users are now cross-dressing as 'Sister Hong,' aka China's infamous 'Red Uncle.' Yep, that "Red Old Man" who went viral for reportedly disguising himself as a woman to engage in intimate encounters with over 1,000 individuals, allegedly sharing videos of these encounters online.
So, who is Red Uncle, aka Sister Hong, and why has he suddenly become an internet sensation?
Earlier this month, a middle-aged Chinese man sparked global outrage after it was revealed he had allegedly cross-dressed as a woman to lure hundreds of unsuspecting men into intimate encounters, many of which were secretly filmed and shared online.
The bizarre case first gained traction on Chinese social media platform Weibo, where users claimed the man, reportedly in his 60s, had filmed sexual encounters with as many as 1,691 men, most of them heterosexual, at his home. Alongside widespread concerns about HIV transmission and marital infidelity, the videos reportedly racked up millions of views online, turning the scandal into one of the most viral and disturbing internet stories in China this year.
The man, nicknamed 'Sister Hong' or 'Red Uncle' by netizens, was later arrested by police in Nanjing's Jiangning district. Authorities confirmed that a cross-dressing man surnamed Jiao had been taken into custody on suspicion of spreading obscene material. However, police pushed back against several viral claims, clarifying that Jiao was 38 years old, not 60, and denying reports that he had intimate encounters with over a thousand men, though they did not offer a specific number.
Despite official corrections, the internet frenzy hasn't slowed down, with users continuing to parody the 'Red Uncle' figure across platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
Internet starts dressing up as China's Red Uncle, and it's as weird as it sounds
The internet is now cross-dressing as Red Uncle—aka Sister Hong—turning one of China's most bizarre scandals into a full-blown meme. While Sister Hong allegedly had hundreds of victims, he stuck to one now-iconic outfit: a black round-neck jumper, pleated bronze and brown skirts, shiny black bellies, and a wig with bangs glossier than a K-pop photocard. That fit has officially become the internet's new obsession, and don't be surprised if this Halloween, Sister Hong is everywhere.
As for the makeup? He kept it low-effort but unmistakable: a ghostly layer of the whitest foundation possible and bright red lips that sealed the look.
Several viral clips of Sister Hong doing a little dance have also been making the rounds—in them, the 38-year-old strikes poses that feel more C-pop (if not K-pop) coded, all part of his bizarre strategy to lure in 'customers.'
Now, the internet is fully leaning in, recreating the viral look and turning it into a meme. From living rooms to grocery stores, markets, and even airport terminals, people are dressing up as Sister Hong and taking the bizarre trend to the streets. Check out several examples below:
While Sister Hong continues to dominate social media, it's worth noting that this is a deeply bizarre and troubling scandal. Videos allegedly featuring men involved with him have also surfaced online, raising serious concerns about consent and the privacy of those individuals.

China's famous Shaleader is under investigation on suspicion of embezzling funds

China's famous Shaolin Temple announced on Sunday that its abbot is under investigation on suspicion of misappropriation and embezzlement of project funds and temple assets. Local media reported that the abbot had been hit by scandalous accusations in the past.(AP) Shi Yongxin was alleged to have committed criminal offenses and seriously violated the Buddhist precepts by maintaining relationships with multiple women over a long period and fathering at least one child, according to a notice from the temple's authority on its WeChat account. The notice said multiple departments were conducting a joint investigation against Shi Yongxin, and relevant findings would be announced to the public in due course. The fame of the Shaolin Temple, based in the central Chinese province of Henan, has gone beyond a religious institution. It is also famous for its martial arts culture, or kung fu, which has been referenced in many movies and TV dramas, including the 1982 film "The Shaolin Temple,' starring martial arts superstar Jet Li. The news about Shi Yongxin, whose original name Liu Yingcheng, ranked top on Chinese search engine Baidu and X-like social media platform Weibo on Sunday night. Local media reported that the abbot had been hit by scandalous accusations in the past, including claims that he fathered several children and embezzled money. According to news outlet Caixin Global, provincial investigation reports exonerated him of all charges in 2016. Shi Yongxin entered Shaolin Temple in 1981 and became its abbot in 1999, according to the temple's website. Xinhua in 2015 reported that he was known as a 'CEO monk,' as one of the first Chinese monks to obtain an MBA, and he had sparked controversy for developing commercial operations like lucrative kung fu shows and merchandise. Earlier on Sunday, Chinese local media outlets reported that authorities had dismissed an online notice claiming Shi Yongxin was intercepted by authorities while trying to flee with his mistresses and children as fake.

Who is Trisha Chatterjee? Indian-origin immigration lawyer who said ICE gave her Taco Bell number during client crisis — watch video

Trisha Chatterjee (Picture source: LinkedIn) Trisha Chatterjee, an Indian-origin immigration lawyer in Ohio, has alleged she was given the number of a Taco Bell outlet when she called ICE for urgent client support. Chatterjee posted about the incident on TikTok, where it went viral and ultimately led to help from another ICE official. But she says the larger issue lack of clear access to immigration authorities continues to cause serious harm to her clients. "I called and they answered and they said, 'Hello, Taco Bell?' And I said, 'Taco Bell?' And the guy who was working said, 'Yeah, Taco Bell. Ma'am, you called me," Chatterjee recalled. "I was in such disbelief," she said. "So, I called the ICE officer back, just really frustrated with what had just happened. He says, 'Oh, I'm sorry. I was trying to lighten the mood and make you laugh.'" ICE has denied the accusation. Homeland security called it a 'lie and a smear.' Chatterjee stood by her version of events. Who is Trisha Chatterjee? Trisha Chatterjee is an Indian-origin immigration lawyer based in Greater Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio. She graduated from Miami University in 2020 and the University of Dayton School of Law in 2023. She works with the law office of Emily Feliz Garcia, a small immigration firm in Springdale. Before this, she worked at Abdallah law offices. For the last two years, she has handled immigration cases, especially those involving clients detained at the Butler County Jail in Ohio, which has a contract with ICE. Chatterjee was trying to submit "stay of removal" applications—urgent paperwork that can pause deportation for clients with pending immigration cases. ICE requires these to be submitted in person at the Detroit field office, but she hoped to file them locally in Blue Ash. After being unable to reach anyone by phone or email, she finally spoke to an ICE officer who gave her a phone number that turned out to be for Taco Bell. When she called back, the officer reportedly said he was trying to make her laugh. She posted a video about the incident on TikTok, which gained over 38,000 views. Many users sympathised, and one even helped her connect with a helpful ICE official in Blue Ash, who is now assisting her. Chatterjee said the larger problem is the lack of access and communication with ICE. She also highlighted how a stricter bond policy is making it harder for immigrants to stay out of detention during legal proceedings. Bonds can cost up to $50,000 and must be paid upfront. According to Chatterjee, some clients are abandoning their asylum cases or choosing to self-deport out of fear. She mentioned recent local arrests of people attending ICE check-ins, which has only deepened anxiety in immigrant communities.
