A woman in China has gone viral online after she was repeatedly told her face suggested a personality that could help her future husband become wealthy and successful.
Video clips of the woman sitting at a dining table have been circulating on mainland social media for several days, with people flocking to comment that she has a wang fu xiang, or “a face that brings her husband good luck”.
The 29-year-old woman, from central China’s Henan province, posted the video on her Douyin account @Huaxianpengyuyan in January. It has since attracted 570,000 likes and 76,000 comments.
The belief that certain kinds of female facial features can bring good fortune is a tradition that has existed since feudal times in China.
