A blogger's bid to chronicle the life of China's beloved moon rover has enhanced public interest in space science but will likely leave fans sad when the Jade Rabbit 'dies'. Zhao Lei reports.

Zong Weiyi is a 24-year-old woman who works at Guokr.com, one of the country's top science websites, and talks to more than half a million people each week on Sina Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter.

Beauty and wealth aren't exactly driving her popularity. Rather, she is famed for working as a bridge between "earthlings" and a rabbit that is roaming the moon. Yes, Zong is the "voice of Yutu".
