This Weibo post is like a bomb that left everyone dumbfounded.
Of course, many people's first reaction was disbelief.
The old man looked so pitiful in the video, crying with such sincerity and kindness; it was obviously genuine sadness, how could it be fake?
So the netizens started with the sarcastic remarks:
Who would believe such an obvious attempt at damage control? The poster should fix their brain and come back, stop embarrassing themselves.
It's clearly staged; not even understanding such attempts is as stupid as it gets.
These methods are from eight hundred years ago; the poster should evolve a bit before coming back.
...
The poster was also dumbfounded. How could it be completely different from what was imagined? It was indeed high traffic, but the traffic was almost entirely insults. Where was the promised praise for the poster's wit?
All lies!
Now, everyone was criticizing Tong Yan even more harshly.
