The "Jiafei" photograph depicts Dai Dai smiling on a balcony in Sanya, China

Jiafei is the name given to a viral photograph of Chinese model Dai Dai.

History

The photo was posted by Dai on WeChat in 2020 but became an Internet meme in 2021 when it was appropriated by online retail accounts using her likeness to advertise products on TikTok. The subject of the photo remained unknown for years and received the name "Jiafei" from rumors that it was a digital composite of singers Jia and Fei. Dai confirmed that the photo was of herself in 2023 after being told by a friend that she resembled the meme.^[1]

Comparisons of the mysterious woman to famous celebrities led to Jiafei being idolized on the Internet, with fans even praying to the photo before important exams or job interviews.^[2] The perceived absurdity of advertisements featuring Jiafei has inspired a widespread obsession with the image and bizarre video recreations.^[3] In 2023, a musical parody of Jiafei played inside an Aeon Mall in Malaysia when a fan's phone accidentally connected to the mall's speaker system.^[4]
