According to the South China Morning Post, the man from Beijing is married to a woman named Fenghua, who belongs to an affluent family in Japan.

Chinese man’s ‘kept man’ lifestyle goes viral
The man revealed that his wife gives him a daily pocket money of about Rs 1 lakh. Speaking of how he helps his wife, the Chinese man said that he makes her feel comfortable daily by doing small things. Though he usually wakes up at 7 am, he remains in bed till his wife decides to get up. He believes that she might get anxious with his early morning rise. Another thing that he does for his wife is to give her the chance to shower first every single day as he does not want her mood to be affected by the wet bathroom tiles.
“You will not last long if you’re just doing things to be nice to her; you’ll eventually burn out. Willpower is limited. You need to discover a way for both of you to live together harmoniously; what I do is not just for her, but also for me. That is my ultimate philosophy as a kept man,” said the man, according to the South China Morning Post.
