A TikTok star, 34-year-old Annie Niu, caused a huge stir online after sharing a sad secret. She revealed that for many years, she pretended to be her twin sister, who passed away, to protect her grandparents from sadness. Annie’s twin sister died from viral meningitis five years ago, but her family decided not to tell the grandparents because they were worried it would hurt them too much.
Annie shared in a video that her dad suggested they keep it a secret. To keep the lie going, she even called her grandparents pretending to be her sister during holidays. This year, she finally told her grandmother, who is very ill, about her sister’s death.
Annie explained that they didn’t want to upset their grandparents, who are very old and fragile. After she revealed the truth, her family took down all the photos of her sister. Annie’s grandpa still doesn’t know what happened.
The video received mixed responses online. Some people felt sorry for the family, while others were confused about why they hid such an important truth for so long. One person wished the family well, while another thought it was unfair that they didn’t let the grandparents say goodbye to Annie’s twin
