Chinese Grandmother Turns Gaming Curiosity Into Online Fame

Zhong Juanjuan is a woman in China who is known online as Auntie Juan.

Years ago, she worried that her son was spending too much time playing games and that his schoolwork was suffering.

In 2020, she saw him playing again and decided to try games so she could understand why he liked them.

Her son taught her, though she found moving around in the games difficult at first.

She also had trouble with her eyesight and slower reactions.

She kept practising and started livestreaming her games in 2022.

She mainly plays shooting games and has played for more than 8,000 hours.

One report says she has about 527,000 followers and that her livestreams draw thousands of viewers.

She became more widely known after playing in an online Counter-Strike exhibition match in December 2024.
