Zheng Tianyuan, 32, from Shenzhen in southern China’s Guangdong province went viral after he crocheted a baby blue qipao, also known as a cheongsam, for his girlfriend.
Zheng is a typical “slash youth” who juggles different roles. Coming from an educational background in classical music, Zheng works as a full-time radio disc jockey.
He is also a fitness fanatic, having achieved sixth place in his group in the Bodybuilding National Championship held by the China Body Building Association this year.
Now, Zheng has a third title, China’s “best boyfriend”.
In August, he published a post of a baby blue qipao he crocheted for his girlfriend as a birthday gift.
It was the first time Zheng had crocheted and he did so by following a qipao crochet diagram he bought online.
