As people grow older, they start to value relationships more. Mainly because it’s difficult to maintain friendships when you stop seeing certain people for six hours a day, five times a week. However, those who do stay with you through adulthood are those you value the most.
YouTuber Qiu Wen (秋雯) is no exception. She is well-liked by her fellow YouTubers and influencers, but one of her closest friends is MaoMao (毛毛). Apparently, they’ve been friends since primary school!
MaoMao turned 26 on 28th February, much to the delight of her friends and family. As always, many flocked to Instagram to wish her well, Qiu Wen included. “10 years old to 26 years old,” she stated, commemorating how long they’d known each other. “Happy birthday, baby!” MaoMao cheekily responded, “Accompany me until (I’m) 86,” and Qiu Wen teased her back, saying, “Can’t you live till 96?”
It’s supposedly been 16 years since the two met and became friends. According to Qiu Wen, they’ve been in the same class since Standard 4 in primary school. They later attended the same secondary school but separated during college. However, they reunited when they realised both of them had chosen the same career.
MaoMao and Qiu Wen have often collaborated on projects and videos. They’ve both been there for each other during their careers and their lasting friendship really shows. “Celebrate your birthday with me, (you) don’t need to grow up,” Qiu Wen said to her. “We will become rich, beautiful and happy together.” Qiu Wen also hopes her friend will find someone who will look after her and cherish her.
Having a new car and new experiences like fine dining are great, but friendship that lasts is rare and more worthwhile. Hopefully, the two treasure it and continue to keep in touch as they grow in their careers!
