LOL the Shandong chauvinist throway2 / observer_t is starting to spewing out weird outlandish claims yet again.

Neither Henan nor Jiangnan resembles Guangdong/Guangxi, in fact Henan and Jiangnan probably have more resemblances with each other than either has with the Far South. Both look significantly more northern compared to people from Lingnan. Historically speaking Jiangnan was the major destination of Sinitic migrants, particularly those from Henan. And genetically according to the results from Wegene / 23Mofang a lot of people in Jiangnan score around 60-70% Northern Han (with the reference pop of Northern Han located somewhere in Henan), whereas those from Lingnan particularly the Canto/Yue speakers from Western GD and GX usually score less than 10% Northern Han.

Canto/Yue speakers have the greatest overlap with Tai-Kradai peoples from Far South / Southwest China and Northern SE Asia like Dong, Hlai, Zhuang, Bouyei, Mulam, Tai Lue, Tay Nung, Tai Yuan, Isan, and various other Northern Thai peoples. Not only do they resemble these Tai-Kradai peoples in terms of appearance (a narrowish face with relatively large eyes and eyebrows set close to the eyes which give out a deep-eyed impression), but linguistically and genetically they are also related and have great overlaps. Sinitic ethno-centrists need to acknowledge and accept the fact that Cantonese are mostly of native descent.

A well-known Chinese Douyin celebrity Yi Guangbian, who is a Tai Lue girl from Sipsong Panna / Xishuang Banna. It's not hard to see that her facial features have a lot of resemblances to the GD/GX girls that I've posted in this thread before.
