Passage 15 洪荒少女——傅园慧
A picture of a facial expression soon went hot on China's social media platforms during the 2016 Rio Olympics. Fu Yuanhui, a 1996-born girl,became the second most popular word on the hot topic list because of her ecstatic(狂喜的) reaction to her performance.
In less than 24 hours, Fu has been discussed thousands of times on Weibo, WeChat and other platforms. Her photos have been used as emoticons(表情符号) and in cartoons. Her fans went from 100,000 to over 2.7 million on her Weibo in just two days.
“I did not reserve my strength. I have tried my best... I am very satisfied with the result and I have never thought about the final,”Fu said in her interview after the semi-final(半决赛).
Fu was quite humorous in the interview. She used a phrase called “Hong Huang Zhi Li” to describe the great efforts she had made in preparing for the match, which also became a popular word on the Internet.
“Hong Huang Zhi Li” means “the strength which can separate the heaven from the earth in the chaotic(混沌的)world of ancient times”. While “Hong Huang” refers to “the chaotic state in the ancient times”,“Li” refers to “strength” in Chinese. 1. What made Fu Yuanhui so popular on the Internet?
