As the year comes to an end, let's reflect on what went viral in China in 2012.
Here's a disclaimer though, Youku is very different to YouTube.
It doesn't tell you the date when videos are published,
but just a roundabout time like 3 months ago or around a year ago.
So some of the videos may not be published exactly in 2012, but it's close enough.
So after navigating through all the TV series, movies and borderline pornographic content on
Here are the top 5 viral videos of 2012 from China.
With over 6 million views at number 5 is the cake bagging girl.
If you've been a long time fan of Off the Great Wall, you've seen her before.
This girl is incredible.
And no, this video is not sped up.
If cake bagging was a real sport, then she would probably be the Usain Bolt of cake bagging.
I would go to this bakery just to see her do that.
Coming in at number 4 with over 10 million views, the one wheel moped daredevil.
Okay, so this guy thinks he is the shiz.
But seriously, you do not look cool on your moped and in your flip flops.
There are a bunch of mopeds surrounding him and the guy who filmed it is also on a moped.
Is this what a biker gang looks like in China?
The third viral video is a little bit gruesome.
3 million views, 108 surveillance camera car accidents from Heze city in Shandong province.
What I can't believe is that this happened all in the same city.
And according to the video description,
99% of these accidents happened due to traffic law violation.
Okay people, needless to say, please be safe during the holidays.
I want to be able to see all your faces in 2013.
I don't want to watch this anymore.
Coming in at second place with over 30 million views is
I don't particularly like this video because of the very uncreative lyrics.
But what is amazing about this video is that it has more views than the original Gangnam Style video.
The number of views for China Style really shows one thing, sex sells.

And at number one,
the golden leftover women version,
no car, no house.
With over 19 million views, this is the 2012 China viral video of the year.
Okay, these lyrics may sound a little extreme,
but that's the reality of things in China nowadays.
China's women are having higher and higher standards,
and guys are just struggling to provide.
That is why there's a so-called leftover women situation in China now.
