The Brightest Girl in The Past Three Centuries

Luo Yufeng (born 1985) (Chinese: 羅玉鳳/罗玉凤; pinyin: luō yùfèng) (or Yufeng Luo / Luo Yufeng) (also referred to as "Sister Feng" (Feng Jie) or "Sister Phoenix") is a Chinese woman who became an Internet celebrity and meme in China and beyond in late 2009.

She first gained attention in November 2009, after passing out flyers in Shanghai seeking a marriageable boyfriend, who was required to meet excessive requirements. For example, she specified that such boyfriend "must be an elite with a degree in economics or similar from Peking University or Tsinghua University" and "must also be 176 to 183 centimeters tall and good looking." At the same time, she was working as a cashier at a Carrefour in Shanghai (she claimed she "works for a Fortune 500 company"). Her penchant for outrageous comments continued to bring her attention, for example, she "called herself the brightest human being in the past three centuries, and added that she would remain the smartest person for the next 300 years."

In January 2010, she appeared on the popular television talk show Renjian with her "boyfriend" and "ex-boyfriend" about their "love triangle," though later were both confirmed to be actors, and the coverage of her increased with that exposure.

She is considered one of the biggest internet "celebrities" to emerge in China in 2009, and has been widely covered by Chinese media. An announcement that she would get plastic surgery in March 2010 resulted in a bonanza of photoshopped pictures of her appearing on Baidu. In May 2010, she appeared on China's Got Talent, and was pelted with an egg.

As of September 2011, she had relocated to New York City, where she is working as a manicurist, and was profiled in the New York Post. It was also noted that she has also 1.4 million followers on Weibo (the Chinese version of Twitter).

In November 2011, an English version of her original dating flyer was being handed out in Zuccotti Park during Occupy Wall Street. Her flyer was handed out on February 2, 2012, at Columbia University. Her flyer was handed out near Harvard University on March 19, 2012
