Three Sheep Network Offers Live-Streaming Courses Two Years After Suspension

Three Sheep Network, a social media agency based in eastern Anhui province, is selling live-streaming courses, South China Morning Post reported. The agency was suspended from business operations two years ago after regulators found it had sold mooncakes falsely labeled as a Hong Kong brand. Regulators in Hefei investigated the company in September 2024.

The probe determined that the mooncakes were produced in southern Guangdong province and had never been sold in Hong Kong. Three Sheep Network was established in 2021 by twin brothers Zhang Qingyan and Zhang Kaiyang along with a partner. It owns several popular social media accounts and signs hundreds of live-streamers.

Zhang Qingyan, known as Crazy Younger Brother Yang, has 95 million followers on social media. That figure is down from more than 100 million before the network was punished. His brother, Zhang Kaiyang, who uses the handle @Crazy Older Brother Yang, has 10 million followers.

Before the mooncake controversy, the brothers regularly generated sales exceeding 100 million yuan per live-stream, South China Morning Post reported.
