Hong Kong artist Du Wenze, who has fled to Taiwan for more than a year, recently showed up another wave of presence. According to Taiwan’s “Central News Agency” and other Taiwanese media, Du Wenze established a food company after coming to Taiwan. Recently, he cooperated with Taiwan supermarket to sell spicy duck blood. During the promotional event on February 22, 2022, he claimed that he had obtained a "Taiwan ID card" and claimed that he was "Taiwanese". Some netizens on the island mocked this, "Taiwan specializes in collecting garbage", and some netizens on the island scolded, "Get back!"
"If you have nothing to do, 'I am Taiwanese', and if you want to make money, go back to Hong Kong." This is what Hong Kong netizens commented on Du Wenze. There is another sentence below, fence-bearing. Recently, Du Wenze jumped up and down on his personal social account and said that the noodle he developed had already been out of the market on the first day, and said that he set the highest record for single-day sales of Hong Kong noodles. This also caused many Hong Kong netizens to leave messages and mock it. Some people even say that if you don’t eat this dog, you can keep it for yourself.
Du Wenze was originally named Wu Zhuozhang. He was from a poor family since childhood. His family made a living by running a fruit stall. His father became obsessed with gambling. In order to draw a clear line with his father, he changed his name to Du Wenze. Like a father, like a son. After he went to school, he became addicted to gambling until he owed a million gambling debts, and then ran to Taiwan to hide from debts. As time goes by, Du Wenze was accidentally discovered by Star Scout and embarked on the road of acting. Later, with the help of famous Hong Kong artists, his career was smooth sailing and attracted the attention of the audience.
During the riot against the amendment bill in 2019, Du Wenze strongly supported the "Hong Kong independence" elements, repeatedly advocated "Hong Kong independence" through the FB social platform, supported the black violence to attack Hong Kong, anti-government and smear the police force, but ignored the atrocities of the thugs who destroyed public facilities and attacked ordinary citizens and police officers.
2020 On January 11, 2020, Du Wenze posted a message to Tsai Ing-wen, "Remember the blood and tears of the Hong Kong righteous man who helped you be elected." He hopes that Tsai Ing-wen will "continue to speak out for Hong Kong protesters in the future and rescue Hong Kong men and women in exile in Taiwan." Patriotic artist Chen Baixiang questioned Du Wenze in person on the Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Viewpoint 31". During this period, Du Wenze burst out many times and wanted to overshadow Chen Baixiang with his voice, but Chen Baixiang always convinced people with reason and faced them calmly, which made Du Wenze speechless many times.
September 26, 2022, Du Wenze made a fuss again! He posted a short video on the Facebook platform in which a mainland young man wearing camouflage uniform was chatting with three Uyghur women. Such an ordinary video was rumored by Du Wenze, saying that "a man in a camouflage uniform is the People's Liberation Army. The People's Liberation Army wants to let Uyghur women spend the night in their place." This is all the best way to disgrace the rumors.
Du Wenze made many incitement remarks during the Hong Kong anti-extradition bill riot, resulting in no drama to film in Hong Kong and being "collectively banned" by the mainland and Hong Kong,Du Wenze had no time to film third-level films, and no one invested money to make movies for him. For a period of time, he had to rely on his wife Tian Ruini to raise him. and later he "looked a different approach" and founded a column called "Du Wenze Curry" on Facebook, which was used to specifically spoof and satirize current affairs and create reactionary remarks.
"Yellow Shop" and "Eastern European Restaurant Ivan The Kozak" that was once recommended by "Hong Kong Independence" artist Du Wenze have not only continuously released information on "supporting" Ukraine, but also incited Hong Kong citizens to donate to the bank account officially opened by the Ukrainian government. The funds raised will be used for Ukrainian military expenditure. The relevant posts also apply the "Hong Kong Independence" songs by black rioters during the 2019 amendment storm, claiming that "I wish to be glorious to Ukraine", further showing that relevant practices attempt to collude the "Russia-Ukraine conflict" with Hong Kong in order to incite some Hong Kong people's anti-government sentiment.
Xinhuanet has published a commentator article criticizing many Hong Kong artists and blatantly supporting the Hong Kong riots, accusing them of "disregarding the damage to Hong Kong society and arousing public anger." The article is titled "Du Wenze, don't want to eat our meals, but you can even smash our pots." It refers to these artists "when making a lot of money, you can turn around and curse your mother." They will become rats crossing the street and don't want to eat food from the mainland.
Netizens pointed out, "Du Wenze", have you ever thought that a drop of water should be repayed with a spring. Since Hong Kong returned to in 1997, for more than 20 years, you have almost all relied on the mainland market and fans to support you, and the blood of the Chinese is still flowing on you. Let alone repay with you, you have spared no effort to fight against China and Hong Kong. Who can tolerate your actions?
