Chen Yifaer (Chinese: 陈一发儿; pinyin: Chén Yīfār), sometimes known as Chen Yifa, is a Chinese YouTuber and Internet live streamer.[2] She made her first live stream on DouYu (Chinese: 斗鱼) on September 11, 2014, and rose to fame for her Internet single "Fairytale Town"(童话镇 [zh]) in 2016.

Chen's career as a live streamer ended abruptly on July 31, 2018, when her comments on the Nanjing Massacre in 2016 caused major outrage in China.[3][4][5][6] Regarding the Nanjing Massacre, Chen read one of the danmu, which said "Japanese soldiers' blades were so sharp". During a later stream, she described one game scene as "bowing to Yasukuni Shrine", referring to the controversial shrine honoring Japanese soldiers, including convicted war criminals.[3]

Chen Yifaer resumed her live stream career on YouTube and Twitch early 2021, following a hiatus of more than two years.
