Overseasidol.com — Chinese actor Ma Tianyu is once again trending online. This time, not for a new drama, but for his surprising side job.
In the variety show “My Little One 2025”, he revealed that he owns a small chicken farm on the outskirts of Beijing.
The farm now houses 300 to 400 chickens. Every morning, Ma personally collects the eggs, with production reaching over 100 eggs per day.
Actress Sun Yi, who visited the farm, was shocked and called the experience “truly impressive.”
This passion project actually started earlier. Back in 2024, reports mentioned that he only raised a few dozen chickens.
But by 2025, the farm expanded rapidly to hundreds of birds. The eggs are not only for his own consumption but are also frequently shared with friends and family.
No wonder he has become the “egg supplier” of his social circle.
The story quickly sent Ma Tianyu to the top of social media trends in China.
Many netizens praised his simple and healthy lifestyle. Some jokingly commented, “If he ever quits acting, he can start an organic egg business right away!,”.
