On the Chinese lifestyle app, several mainland creators living in Malaysia are pitching the country as a softer landing for family life.
They highlight international schools, Mandarin-speaking clinics, familiar food, and lower living costs in Malaysia, addressing the anxieties of their compatriots about schooling, affordability and leaving China without giving up language or cultural comfort.
That lifestyle pitch overlaps neatly with Malaysia’s own effort to sell itself to Chinese travellers as much more than a holiday destination.
Zhi Zhi, a Malaysia-based parent and content creator with 19,500 followers, is one of those making the case through the language of family life.
In a widely seen video posted on Wednesday, Zhi Zhi said children in Malaysia’s international schools seemed more relaxed than those caught in China’s “involution”, a term widely used to describe exhausting competition in schools and workplaces.
