Li Tianyou (personality)

Li Tianyou (Chinese: 李天佑; born August 7, 1990, also known as MC Tianyou) is a former Chinese MC and livestreamer. He is considered a controversial figure for his influence on Chinese youth for Hanmai culture.

His career started off on YY.com, where he gained fame for Hanmai and contributing to the popularization of the Chinese internet subculture. During his peak era, he gained over 20 million followers on YY and 40 million followers on Kuaishou at the time of his ban. In 2018, after Chinese national news channel CCTV exposed his actions of promoting and beautifying drugs during his broadcasting, Li Tianyou was permanently banned by all livestreaming and music platforms for breaking new regulations introduced by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) in 2016.
