Article is 2 years old, but it's a happy article and I wanted to post it anyways.

EDIT: For anyone curious, here's a link to her Douyin page: https://www.douyin.com/user/MS4wLjABAAAAC-deOgCmNN2bIugq3od6LBI-Ws7Pn8EuLwWBjZg-ghg It says she has 11.151 million followers and 170 million likes, which is awesome.

        i think you need to click on those three characters in the photo (maybe in order?)

        edit: so it would be 4, 2, 3?

        Yeah I gave it a couple good shots, I figure it's telling us to pick out the characters in certain colors or something like that.

          I’ve only encountered the puzzle piece captchas which are relatively easy, but if I encounter something in Chinese that requires an explanation I’ll use the google translate camera function (or iphone camera app works too) to live translate it from simplified Chinese to English. It’s generally pretty accurate I think, and I’ve also managed to order stuff on Taobao this way.

      We can't do the captcha because we're bots
