Na Yina

Zhai Geying (; born July 11, 1967, in Zhongxiang), known by her stage name Na Yina or sometimes Lady Nana, is a Chinese internet personality and singer. She gained attention on Chinese short-video platforms as "@俄罗斯娜娜" , portraying herself as a Russian woman using exaggerated accents and face-swapping filters. Her content often featured singing, juxtaposing Russian negativity with Chinese positivity, while monetizing her platform through the sale of Russian products. After her behavior drew criticism from Chinese internet users and state media, her previous account was banned by Douyin. She rebranded as "@大中国娜娜" and went viral within China's queer community for a video of her clashing with two fellow Douyin influencers, helping her song "Love Like Fire" gain meme popularity and prompting her to pursue a music career.

Career Russian Nana Zhai initially appeared on several short-video platforms in 2021, disguising as a stereotypical Russian woman, and gained significant attention after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In her usual videos, she presented facial features typical of Caucasians, greeted audience with Russian, and spoke with a heavily affected, Russian-accented Mandarin. She often praised China by disparaging Russia, occasionally presenting hearsay as facts about Russia. Unlike her spoken Chinese, she performed Chinese songs with accurate pronunciation. On the evening of April 1, 2022, Douyin announced that her account had been permanently banned for "misusing platform tools, impersonating a false persona, and inappropriately obtaining traffic and followers." In response, Zhai claimed that her previous content had simply been performance art. Following the success of "Love Like Fire", Zhai released numerous songs, such as "HOTNANA" and "谁能给我爱" .

Zhai attempted to break into the mainstream but faced challenges, partly due to the heavily regulated media environment in China. In 2023, she appeared on the variety show Star EDM Alliance, co-produced by Youku and Shenzhen TV. However, in 2024 and 2025, respectively, she tried in vain to participate in Hunan TV reality competition shows Ride the Wind 2024 and Singer.

In May 2025, during a concert in Hangzhou, Zhai was accused of lip-syncing when a child's voice was heard during her performance of the song "苹果香" . In response, she claimed the sound engineer had "played the wrong audio", and explained that the incident was intended as a humorous "meme interaction".
