In a short online video, a Chinese man with a round face and a buzz cut pops open a beer cap with a single chopstick.
After a sip, he quickly lifts the bottle to his mouth while giving it a few sharp turns.
A small "tornado" forms in the bottle, and Hebei Pangzai, or"Fatty from Hebei province", as the 34-year-old is known on Twitter, drinks it all in seconds.
Hebei Pangzai's real name is Liu Shichao. The odd-job labourer hails from Zhengyuansi, a nondescript village where everyone knows everyone.
Liu now has over 130,000 followers on Twitter, drawn to his beer-drinking clips.
His claim to fame was an old video of Liu's shared on Twitter in August. It went viral, gaining 12 million views.
In the video, Liu opens a beer bottle with a chopstick, mixes the beer with several other liquors, including baijiu, a potent Chinese liquor made from grain.
He lights the concoction, uses his finger to carry off a bit of the flame to light his cigarette, then drinks the whole thing.
At the peak of his fame on the Chinese internet, he had more than 400,000 Kuaishou followers. When he held live broadcasts, he could earn up to 300 yuan on a good day.
As for his current fame, Liu remains sceptical about becoming a career influencer.
"You can't depend on this for a living. This is just for when I have some free time."
