Identical twin sisters who were separated at birth and met online 30 years later are no longer on speaking terms because they don't like each other.
According to Mail Online, Zhang Li and Cheng Keke, from Henan, China, met on social media in 2021 after noticing how similar they both looked. They later discovered, via a DNA test, that they were identical twins and their families admitted that they had been separated at birth.
The two reconnected and claimed they quickly felt an incredible sisterly connection.
Their story reportedly went viral online in China and Li and Keke decided to use their fame to start an e-commerce business which was later marked by frequent conflicts and disagreements.
Their relationship reportedly lasted only three years with the sisters no longer in talking terms.
According to Keke, whenever they live-streamed to promote their products, Li often left without notice, sometimes disappearing for two or three days at a time.
Keke said: 'She never said anything when she left, and I could never find her. That's not the kind of work attitude I like.'
It was gathered that things got worse one night when Li secretly moved all their shared belongings out of their rental apartment while Keke was away, leading to a major argument between them.
Keke claims that she always had to cover the rent, meals, and other daily expenses whenever they travelled for live-streaming events.
This was despite her sister promising they would split costs equally, which never happened.
From Li's perspective, the two had very different personalities: she was straightforward, while her sister tended to bottle things up and engage in 'silent treatment.'
Li also blamed Keke for the failure of many of their live-streaming ventures, stating that over the years they had lost as much as 600,000 Chinese Yuan (£65,000).
She said: 'So I told her directly that I wouldn't be doing live-streaming with her anymore.'
After their failure in live-streaming, Li decided to open a physical store in her hometown of Dengfeng.
Keke travelled there to support her sister, but their relationship finally collapsed during a heated argument over the store's management and the amount of investment each had contributed.
The relationship between the sisters finally broke down completely after yet another work-related fight in January 2023. This incident was the last time the two sisters saw each other.
