Recently, some netizens have discovered that the previously banned Douyin internet celebrity "Xiucai" with millions of fans has appeared in multiple accounts, suspected of "resuming under a borrowed identity". Some netizens claimed that the Douyin account "Wanglaosi" had posted several videos of "Xiucai" collaborating, with "Xiucai" appearing in his iconic image, with captions marking "collaboration with Xiucai teacher" and the "Xiucai" tag. However, as of the time of writing, a search by a journalist from The Paper found that all related videos featuring Xiucai on that account had been deleted. The pinned video still showed "Wanglaosi" imitating Xiucai, and the tag still indicated the word "Xiucai". On August 7th, a responsible person from Douyin told the reporter that the account of "Xiucai" is still in a banned state, and there is no situation of "resurrecting under a borrowed identity".
