In an oversaturated digital landscape, one Chinese salesman has cracked the code to virality. Known as Tony, 26-year-old Zhu Yu blends satire and uncanny accents (from Texas to Birmingham) in short sketches that all lead to one ending – selling signage products the company he works for makes. Dubbed the "most viral man on the internet" and hailed as a "marketing genius," Tony has gotten his fans curious about the man behind the persona. CGTN meets the young man in Guangzhou to find out.
