The mother of the twin sisters Mi Ai and Mi Ni helped them to post a video for the Queen on the social media platform Weibo in which the girls shared their wish to visit the back garden of the Queen's palace, following in the footsteps of Peppa Pig and her friends. They also said they would continue to study hard and help their mom with the housework.

The video soon went viral in China. Britain's Ambassador to China Dame Barbara Woodward replied to the kids on January 11 promising to help them to realize their dream. The ambassador invited them to visit her house in Beijing so they could have tea and scones and talk about how to make their dream come true.
