China eatery owner wears mecha suit to deliver food, dubbed ‘Iron Man’ courier by netizens

A Chinese restaurant owner has gone viral for hitting the streets in a home-made mecha suit to deliver food, earning the nickname “Chinese Iron Man” and leaving netizens in awe.

The blogger known as “Gaosai Armour”, who has almost 100,000 followers on social media, recently went viral after posting a video in which he calmly walks into a milk tea shop clad in a metallic suit of armour and picks up his order, leaving stunned onlookers in awe.

A mecha suit is a large mechanical exoskeleton that enhances human strength and capabilities, often resembling a robot. It is normally used in science fiction.

The man behind the armour, Zhou Gaosai, was born in the 1980s and is from Zhengzhou, Henan province in northern China.

He told Cover News that he is not a full-time food delivery worker and just wanted to experience what it felt like to be one.
