Wu Liufang, a former federal gymnast-turned-influencer, posted provocative dance videos online in China that caused a social media frenzy, with one fellow country member accusing her of breaking the law and tarnishing the sport’s reputation.  ,
Before retiring in 2013, Wu, 29, won a number of medals at international competitions, including metal in the floor and balance beam competitions at the 2010 Doha World Cup.
However, her new online behavior has drawn attention to her.
Wu frequently uploads dance material to the well-known short video app Twitter under the alias” 56 xue jie.” According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), she is generally seen dancing in small pants, mini skirts, and boots.  ,
Since the majority of her films have been deleted, it is unclear when she started uploading them. According to local media website 21st Century Business Herald, she likewise began livestreaming the same content in March.
However, the controversy just became public in recent days when Guan Chenchen, a fellow ex-Chinese gymnast, expressed disapproval of Wu’s actions, according to a separate regional news outlet, Shanghai Daily.
Screengrabs of the trade showed 20-year-old Guan-  , an Olympic hero who retired in 2022 to focus on reports- commenting on one of Wu’s video on Friday.

Wu fired up at Guan, accusing her of being” acidic fruits”.  ,
Guan after rudely retorted that Wu was “awesome” and that she was “envious” of the older retired performer. ” Jiejie (older sister ) is awesome! We should learn from her” ! ,

Previous senior police officer Vikram Singh remarked,” The worship of manhood that permeates every police station needs to end.”

” I do suggest that we do no”.
