Most people know Piyou for two words: traffic.

With more than 20 million followers, along with Ducatis, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins and more, Piyou on camera is the kind of “cool and bold girl” favored by algorithms — leather jackets, helmets, heavy motorcycles, and a stern side profile.

This public portrayal is far too marketable, so much so that even she herself has grown tired of hearing it.

“Others only notice I ride a Ducati, but what I care about is whether this bike can drift.”

But in the dictionary of APAxpo, there is no such term as “top influencer”, only “player”; there is no such thing as “public persona”, only “passion”.

The event will be held at Foshan Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center from October 16th to 18th. We will introduce the “Super Player Group” of this exhibition to the world one after another.

Today, the first player to make an appearance is Piyou, the girl you think only exists in short videos.

“Wuhu Drift”: She Turns Stunts into Art

Recently, Piyou starred in an automobile blockbuster produced by Beijing Speed Festival Automobile Development Co., Ltd. In the film, she drove a professionally modified S2000 to finish all the stunt shots throughout the whole production. No stunt doubles, no green screens—she is not just a prop in front of the camera, but the master behind the steering wheel.

Qinglong, Guizhou, she locked the rear-wheel drive of the GTR.

Late 2025, Qinglong, Guizhou.

While people across the country were buzzing about the “Village GT”, Piyou did not stand aside to take group photos. Instead, she sat in the driver’s seat of the Nissan GT-R (GTR35) and drifted straight on the mountain roads.

Onlookers screamed, and her companions filmed videos. She climbed out of the car with messy hair and a grin, exuding an intense competitive aura. At that moment,

the title “Motorcycle Goddess” vanished completely.

What remained was merely a racer eager to countersteer at every bend.

“I’ve been into racing for so long, and I’m finally going to own a drift car of my own.”

She said this herself on Douyin.

Then she did something her agent thought would not look good on camera.

With her budget ready, she headed for a gathering spot for scrapped racing cars in Beijing.

She was not picking up a brand-new car from an exhibition hall, nor taking elaborately retouched photos. Instead, she went to a place where sheet metal faded under blazing sunlight, engines lay exposed, and headlights were often missing, checking one discarded car after another carefully.

In the end, amid the wreckage of this so-called “racing car graveyard”, she negotiated the price of this Nissan Silvia S13 — an iconic chassis revered in the drifting community — down to a six-figure sum. She stubbornly claimed her initial budget was only 5,000 yuan, yet she ended up paying roughly 60,000 yuan in full. She transferred the payment on the spot, arranged for a flatbed truck, and sent the vehicle to David DC Town in Shanghai for comprehensive renovation and the Little Devil paint job.

Across the whole of China, you can count on two hands the number of young women who know the location of David DC Town and understand the significance of the pop-up headlights on an S13.

And she picked out the car all by herself, squatting down in the junkyard.

So, who exactly have we invited?

That is precisely what this official announcement intends to clarify.

Piyou is invited to APAxpo 2026 not because she boasts over 20 million followers.

The real reason is as follows:

Instead of renting cars, she buys them. She spends her own money to purchase an S13 regarded by others as a beat-up old car, solely for its drifting capability.

She never merely watches races from the sidelines; she steps onto the track as a driver. Her drifting feats with the GTR, fireworks strapped to vehicles, stunts on the 24 hairpin bends of Qinglong and drifting in Wuhu are all achieved through countless tough runs on the vehicle body.

She is a genuine car enthusiast, not a manufactured public persona.

Owing to her obsession with machinery, APAxpo 2026 has decided to place her at center stage.

Piyou will no longer be merely the admired “goddess” under the spotlight, but a core participant in the APA competition:
