Renowned for his humble and hardworking nature, the doppelgänger has amassed 3 million followers on mainland social media platforms.
Bai Xianying, 43, a stuffed pancake vendor from northern China’s Hebei province, rose to fame in 2020 after customers noticed his striking resemblance to the Taiwanese singer.
Fans affectionately nicknamed him Zhou Binglun, a playful moniker meaning “Porridge and Pancake Jay,” in homage to Chou.
While making pancakes, Bai often played Chou’s music and repeated his beloved catchphrases to entertain fans.
