Khaby Lame meets his match in Jingdezhen

Khaby Lame, an internet celebrity with the most TikTok followers worldwide, visited Jingdezhen, Jiangxi province, on Saturday.

During his visit, he challenged himself to master the porcelain-making craft, but ultimately had to admit that it was much harder than it looked.

"It's tough," he said, sitting on a stool and learning how to shape clay. "They make it look easy, but I can tell you ... You have to train really well to master it."

Lame, who is known for his iconic "speechless and hands-down gesture", also visited the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Museum.

A local artisan taught him in a studio to paint a porcelain plate. As a customized gift, he received a plate featuring his classic shrugging emoji meme.
