# Wu Liufang

Wu Liufang (Chinese: 吴柳芳; pinyin: Wú Liǔfāng), born on 22 December 1994, is a retired Chinese gymnast. Post retirement, she became a teacher before turning into an online influencer in 2024.

## Career
### Gymnastics career

Wu Liufang made the Chinese national team in 2008. At the 11th Chinese national games in September 2009, she achieved bronze for uneven bars and silver for the team event (as part of Guangdong team).
Wu participated in the 2010 Doha World Cup, where she won gold on balance beam and floor, and silver on uneven bars. She also won beam gold at the 17th Internationaux de France world cup held in Paris Bercy.
At the 2010 Chinese national championships, Wu Liufang, participating for the Guangdong team, won silver in all-round, and came 4th in uneven bars and 4th in beam.
Wu Liufang retired from gymnastics in October 2013.

### Post gymnastics

After retiring, Wu further her studies at Beijing Sport University before becoming a teacher. She would also involve herself in gymnastics related activities such as refereeing at gymnastics youth competitions, teaching, etc.
In March 2024, she took her first step into being an influencer on Douyin, signing on with Da Hai Xing Chen, a multi-channel network soon after as her account gained followers exponentially. Wu would frequently upload video clips of herself dancing in short shorts, mini skirts and stockings. This eventually led to Guan Chenchen, Wu's junior in the national gymnastics team, criticising Wu publicly and turning public attention to Wu's current job. Despite a public apology, Wu's account was taken down by the platform in November 2024, censured and returned with most of her videos removed. On 24 December 2024, her Douyin account, along with 11 other accounts, was banned, and its monetization privileges were revoked. In addition to the ban, the platform removed her substantial number of followers as part of its effort to “maintain a clean online environment.” The multi-channel network representing Wu faced a 30-day restriction on account management after Douyin's safety center accused them of leveraging accounts to disseminate “vulgar content to attract followers, causing significant negative impact.” After the restrictions was lifted and despite proactively deleting her own content that would be deemed as controversial, her followers count would exceed 6 million which led to further intervention and restrictions by the platform. This left her with 44,000 followers and her not updating her account for the time being.
