Hanqing Studio (汗青工作室) is a Chinese creator studio working in generatively produced digital characters under the AI.TALK brand. It was founded by 赵汗青 (Zhao Hanqing), trained at the Tsinghua Academy of Arts and Design and previously at JD.com, eBay and Alibaba.
It produces digital humans as commercial talent. Its digital character Yuri (尤栗), an AI singer built with generative AI and presented as a digital identity rather than a mascot, debuted with the music video SURREAL and has carried endorsement work for The North Face and has been reported at an audience scale above 1.1 million followers across platforms, with cross-links into entertainment IP including the game Wuthering Waves (鸣潮) and the automotive brand Voyah. Yuri has spoken at TEDx and the Bund Summit, and in early 2026 received what was reported as China’s first virtual-idol “digital resident” identity certification, issued by the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area in Yizhuang.
