A seemingly hygiene-conscious chimpanzee named Yuhui was spotted squatting beside a water hole, diligently washing clothes and hands with soap in southern China.

The video was filmed in Chongqing City on December 6.

This exceptional chimpanzee, born in 2001 and known as Yuhui, has spent the last 22 years of its life residing in the zoo.

According to a zookeeper, Yuhui began mimicking the actions of the zookeeper when he was just 8 years old. Over time, he perfected these actions, becoming adept at imitating them with precision. For instance, if you place a bar of soap by the water pool, Yuhui will meticulously rub his hands together, demonstrating a seriousness and standard comparable to those of professional medical practitioners.

Yuhui has been making waves on Chinese social media with his impressive dish-washing ability in April this year.

Yuhui has a particular fondness for washing clothes, spending up to half an hour cleaning a single piece of clothing. After completing the task, he even takes a moment to sniff the garment, checking for any lingering odours.

Yuhui has earned the title of "model worker" in the animal kingdom.

近日，重庆永川一动物园内，一只看起来有洁癖的黑猩猩，蹲在水坑旁用肥皂洗衣服洗手，动作娴熟。
据了解，这只大猩猩叫“渝辉”，是一只2001年出生的雄性大猩猩。22年来，它一直生活在重庆市的永川动物园内，是位地地道道的“重庆居民”。根据饲养员的介绍，“渝辉”从8岁起就开始学习动物园那些饲养员的动作，时间长了就自己模仿了起来，而且还学的像模像样的。比如当你在水池边放上一块肥皂，“渝辉”就会使用肥皂仔细搓手洗手，动作认真又标准，几乎都能与那些专业医务进行媲美，而且“渝辉”还酷爱洗衣服，一件衣服经常能自己洗上半小时，洗完之后还会闻一下有没有异味，被誉为“动物界劳模”。
