About
Kiss Stir Fry, also known as difficultly kissing contest (Chinese: 高难度接吻大赛) and “pattern kiss contest” (Chinese: 花样Kiss大赛), is a Chinese video fad in which a person is bent over in front of a partners waist who proceeds to flip them over into a seated position and kisses them on the lips. Recordings of the maneuver are often shared online in the form of animated GIFs on the Chinese social networking and microblogging site Weibo.
