Many were attracted to her beautiful looks, saying she was like a blend of Hong Kong actress Cheung, model Angelababy and Chinese actress Song Zuer.
In the influencer's video, Qiqi appears to be shy. But many said they were attracted by her unpretentious character.
They also said she had dwarfed the looks of many stars even without wearing make-up.
Some said Qiqi looks like the daughter that Cheung and her ex-husband, the Cantopop star, Nicholas Tse Ting-fung, never had.
