Yooupi is a Chinese outdoor video creator born in Luzhou, Sichuan, and currently residing in France. She is active on platforms like Bilibili (2.3M subscribers) and YouTube (420k subscribers). Her videos cover beachcombing, dumpster diving, local markets, and food. Known for her stunning looks, humorous language, and lively personality, she has gained a massive following ranging from the elderly to children.

According to a Bilibili documentary, Yooupi's real name is "Ge Xingchen". She grew up in a middle-class family with a loving father and a strict mother. She was closer to her father and would always consult him first about anything. Her mother, while deeply caring, was also very strict. Whenever the mother-daughter relationship grew tense, her father would always step in to mediate. Her mother considers her someone who doesn't easily reveal her inner world, being "comparatively introverted". In 2013, with her father's support, Yooupi went to study in France. Unfortunately, during this time, her father passed away from illness, which became a lifelong pain for her. To soothe her endless grief, she started creating self-media content in 2020 to distract herself. After her father's passing, Yooupi and her mother both realized that they are each other's dearest and most loved person in the world; even if they have occasional friction, they will actively make up for it afterwards.

Yooupi herself says she has an extraverted personality with multiple "buffs" stacked: ENTP, Gemini, and being from Sichuan. She is indeed very talkative, forthright, quirky, and a natural social butterfly. This trait has allowed her to stand out among video creators. Additionally, Yooupi possesses strong copywriting skills and a great sense of the camera; she is a perfectionist who constantly strives for excellence in her work. Influenced by her circle of friends, her Mandarin carries a slight Dongbei (Northeast Chinese) accent, which became even more noticeable when she wore braces during her dental alignment. Aside from minor orthodontics, she has not undergone any plastic surgery. A major reason she didn't choose to study in an English-speaking country was that her English proficiency was relatively poor at the time, so she switched to learning French (which is actually harder). At the same time, the cost of studying in European countries is lower than in major English-speaking countries, though the requirements for students are higher.

After graduating in 2021, Yooupi started working in a French company doing 3D model design and scene layout. As income from her videos increased, she is now a full-time content creator. Besides work, she loves playing games. She used to play MMOs, especially World of Warcraft, but due to time constraints, she now mainly plays Steam single-player games. Long screen time during her student days led to a high myopia of -5.50 diopters (550度); she wears framed glasses daily but switches to contact lenses when filming. She occasionally wears colored contacts.

In addition to uploading videos, she occasionally livestreams on Bilibili about 3-4 times a year.

"Yooupi" is derived from the French interjection "Youppie" or "Youpi", used to express joy, excitement, or cheerfulness. It is also used when taking photos to help adjust the mouth shape and posture, similar to saying "Cheese" in English. The word itself has no specific meaning, but as a nickname, it fits Yooupi's lively personality perfectly.

Meaning of Real Name "Ge Xingchen"
Ge (葛): An ancient Chinese surname, originating from the descendants of the nobles of the State of Ge during the Zhou Dynasty.
Xingchen (星晨): Derived from the idiom "Liáo Rú Chén Xīng" (Sparse as morning stars), referring to the stars at dawn. It symbolizes rarity, excellence, and being outstanding.

In 2021, she reached 100,000 followers on Bilibili. In 2022, she hit 1 million subscribers on Bilibili. In January 2024, she was selected as one of Bilibili's "Top 100 Uploaders of 2023".

In many videos, Yooupi appears wearing a hat. Common hats in her videos include knit pom-pom beanies, bucket hats (unbranded from Taobao), and Los Angeles Dodgers (LA) baseball caps. The primary function of the hat is, of course, to block the sun and prevent getting tanned. At the same time, in the early days, it might have been to keep her hair in place and for on-camera effects. When she first arrived in France, Yooupi had waist-length hair, but it was ruined by a near-disastrous perm experience. Since then, she dared not trust French barbers anymore, and for a long time, she cut her own hair in France. She prefers large wavy curls, but improperly managed hair could lead to poor filming effects and inconvenience during outdoor activities. Gradually, however, the bucket hat (later changed to a baseball cap) and twin braids became her highly recognizable signature look, and Yooupi has maintained this styling for a considerable period of time.

Yooupi has worked with 3 cameramen in France:
1. The first cameraman quit halfway.
2. The second cameraman was Chinese and returned to China during the pandemic (after she hit 100k fans on Bilibili).
3. The third cameraman has collaborated the longest (since at least 2021). He is a long-time friend, born in 1998, a French-born Chinese. He is bilingual in French and Chinese (native level) and is introverted. He has a full-time job and films part-time.

Additionally, Yooupi also works with a cameraman in China. He is from Chengdu, can sing, and plays multiple musical instruments. Videos in China, Indonesia, etc., are filmed by him.

Livestream Assistant: The companion who appeared in Yooupi's first livestream in 2021 was a male classmate. Since the cameraman didn't go to Brittany, the classmate acted as a helper. He had a girlfriend at the time, but some fans mistakenly thought he was the cameraman.

"Brittany" is the region in northwestern France where Yooupi filmed her earliest and most frequent beachcombing videos. "Air Force" (空军) is Chinese fishing slang for returning empty-handed. Because Yooupi often catches nothing in her hunting videos, fans jokingly call her the "Queen of the Empty Catch in Brittany." Although her skills may need improvement, her authentic style is widely loved.

Meaning "Leader of the Beggars' Sect," this nickname relates to her dumpster diving series. In these videos, Yooupi finds discarded but safe-to-eat food or reusable items in French dumpsters. She shares practical tips to help people understand how someone in financial difficulty can improve their life through these discarded items.

ENTP is one of the 16 MBTI personality types, and Yooupi has this personality. ENTPs usually possess a brilliant mind and agile thinking. They never hide these advantages, enjoy debating with others, and love tossing out novel and shocking viewpoints, often becoming the center of attention in social situations. As extraverts (E), social activities leave them energized and vibrant. Female ENTPs are extremely rare, making up only about 1-2% of the general population, making it one of the most highly favored personality types. ENTPs always instinctively and subtly exert influence on others to control the situation. At the same time, ENTPs are characterized by being warm on the outside but cool on the inside, and they are often unbound by secular morality, showing little concern for things that ordinary people value.

Yooupi's videos need to cater to the broadest audience, including children and the elderly, and convey positive values. Therefore, her image in the videos is the result of careful planning, screening, and editing. What is presented in the videos is only a part of Yooupi, or the "Yooupi in the audience's imagination". In her livestreams, the audience can see a more multi-dimensional and real Yooupi. Generally speaking, the temperament and image presented in the videos and livestreams are basically consistent, just a bit less "well-behaved" and a bit more "casual". She will occasionally roast her fans, making the livestream feel more like a chat between friends, giving people a relaxed and pleasant feeling. In reality, she is "a bit crazier" and "more sharp-tongued" than in the livestreams, and will crack "dark jokes" with friends. Therefore, although she has many friends, there are not many close ones. She has a straightforward personality and is always ready to help others. She once had people think she wasn't cautious enough for posting to help a fan find a doctor for a seriously ill family member, but she believes there are still more good people in the world. In recent years, she has also grown, saying she is "no longer that kid who knows nothing".

She is a soft-hearted and kind person who will shed tears for the elderly in difficulties and never abandons her severely ill pets. She has good moral character, cherishes her reputation, feels responsible for her fans, and is very cautious when taking promotional sponsorships, preferring quality over quantity. She also does not encourage fans to send virtual gifts during livestreams. Her private life is restrained, and she adheres to her principles and bottom lines. Over the years, she has had no negative news, making her a creator with almost no dark history.

She places great value on family and friendship, and prefers men with calm and mature personalities. She once stated that she would probably marry very late; love is necessary, but it will only take up a "very small part" of her life. As of November 2025, she remains single, with neither a husband nor a boyfriend.

Offline, Yooupi appears much taller than many people imagine, with a visual height of over 170cm, and is on the slim side; she looks even better in person than in her videos. She enjoys meeting people with different stories and visiting places she has never been to. She is not very averse to meeting fans, sometimes taking the initiative to organize gatherings, and will gladly accept valuable filming invitations. Although she has a wide circle of friends, the circle she interacts with is relatively closed. In her free time, she plays video games. For her, gaming is another kind of life.
