From bubble tea sensation to the youngest female billionaire in China, Zhang Shuang has undergone a significant transformation.
Zhang Shuang is no longer an unfamiliar name to Chinese and Vietnamese netizens. A hastily taken photo of her as a student years ago went viral. Holding a cup of bubble tea earned her the affectionate nickname 'bubble tea beauty'. Her name, a beacon of beauty and innocence, continues to captivate even now.
Zhang Shuang once reached such fame that renowned director Zhang Yimou invited her to act in a film and walk the red carpet into the entertainment industry, but she declined. Zhang Shuang, born into wealth and possessing both talent and beauty, graduated from the most prestigious university in China, Thanh Hoa University, and holds a master's degree from King's College, Cambridge.
In 2015, Zhang Shuang once again became the center of media attention when she married Liu Cung Dong - the founder and chairman of JD.com. Given Liu Cung Dong's status as a self-made billionaire, the couple garnered immense attention, even as they maintained a relatively low profile.
In March 2016, the bubble tea beauty gave birth to a daughter. Rather than live a life of luxury at home, she actively participates in her husband's business ventures. Zhang Shuang serves as the principal fashion advisor for JD.com's luxury division. According to New Fortune magazine, in May 2017, Zhang Shuang became the youngest woman on China's billionaire list. Despite material success, her marriage to a man over 20 years her senior faced significant challenges when Liu Cung Dong was accused of sexual assault in Australia.
After a decade of inadvertent fame, the image and life of Zhang Shuang continue to be of public interest. Despite possessing exceptional beauty, recent photos of the mother of one have received mixed reviews. Zhang Shuang has been criticized by netizens for appearing less radiant than before, although still beautiful. Clearly, at the age of 30, she no longer maintains the legendary purity of her beauty from 10 years ago.
