Since posting her first video last year, Aunty Ru’s TikTok and Douyin clips have sparked a cultural moment. While some critics questioned her pronunciation, fans flooded comments with 💖 and "Queen energy!" Her secret? Relentless optimism. "I sing to make people happy," she says, shrugging off negativity. 💪
From rice fields to viral reels, Aunty Ru’s journey proves it’s never too late to rewrite your story—one off-key bop at a time. 🌾➡️📱
