Identical twin sisters who were separated at birth reconnected online after 30 years, but have since lost contact due to personal conflicts.
As reported by Mail Online, Zhang Li and Cheng Keke from Henan, China, found each other on social media in 2021 after noticing their striking resemblance. A DNA test confirmed they were identical twins, and their families admitted they had been separated at birth.
Initially, the two formed a close bond, with their story going viral in China. They even tried to capitalize on their fame by launching an e-commerce business together, but frequent disagreements quickly arose.
Their relationship lasted only three years, and the sisters are no longer in touch. Keke shared that during live-stream events to promote their products, Li would often leave without notice, disappearing for days at a time. “She’d leave without saying anything, and I could never reach her. That’s not the kind of work ethic I appreciate,” Keke explained.
Tensions escalated further when Li moved their shared belongings out of their apartment while Keke was away, sparking a major argument.
Keke claimed she had been paying for rent, food, and other expenses during business trips, despite Li’s initial agreement to split costs equally.
Li described their personalities as very different: she was direct, while Keke tended to withhold her feelings. Li also blamed Keke for the failure of many of their live-streaming projects, stating they lost nearly 600,000 Chinese Yuan (about £65,000). Ultimately, Li decided to stop live-streaming with Keke.
After the e-commerce setback, Li opened a physical store in Dengfeng. Keke visited to support her, but more disagreements emerged over managing the store and financial contributions.
Their relationship finally broke down after a work-related argument in January 2023, marking the last time they saw each other.
