Her photo is also being used for the wallpaper image on computers, tablets, smartwatches, and more\u2014as part of Chinese Gen Z\u2019s manifestation for good luck.<\/p>\n<p>How did Jenner, of all people, become a Chinese symbol of good fortune? Chinese influencer Marcelo Wang broke down the trend in <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@marcelowang0527\/video\/7621344681036746015?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">his own viral TikTok<\/a>. He explained that Jenner has long been a popular celebrity in the country, even getting the nickname Tian Hou, or \u201cthe Empress Dowager.\u201d Now, Wang says, many Chinese Gen Zers see Jenner as a symbol of \u201cgood luck, career success, wealth, and confidence all coming your way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"content-chunk\">\n<p>\u201cKris Jenner is one of the hardest-working businesswomen in the U.S., and Chinese people really respect hard work,\u201d he said. \u201cSo cosplaying Kris Jenner is like a Gen Z funny way to manifest success.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"\/>\n<p>Though one particular headshot of Jenner is dominating Chinese social media, some users are also putting their own spin on the image and editing it to reflect their own careers. It\u2019s not unlike a Barbie doll\u2019s ever-changing professions. Scrolling on RedNote, you\u2019ll see Dr. Kris, Chef Kris, Lawyer Kris, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Wang also translated one social media user\u2019s story of Kris-based manifestation in action. \u201cI was literally about to have a mental breakdown last night,\u201d the user wrote. \u201cThen I switched my profile picture to Kris Jenner, and suddenly I feel like I\u2019m slaying. My confidence is through the roof. I feel like I can judge everyone right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/91520520\/china-social-media-kris-jenner-profile-picture-rednote-weibo-douyin\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese spirituality just adopted a new icon: American \u201cmomager\u201d Kris Jenner.
