is the Chinese sentence issued by Musk, which unexpectedly made netizens in China begin to guess what the real meaning is, and finally made Xiaomi founder Lei Jun .
As the world's richest man, how could Musk be in a quarrel with the senior Chinese media person Hu Xi?
Why did all Chinese netizens translate the true meaning behind this Chinese sentence?
Let’s take a look at the whole process of the whole thing.
1. Hu Xijin warned Musk that the indulgence of speech would be very miserable. Musk immediately threw out a Chinese angrily slammed
In the early morning of October 5, Hu Xijin commented on a Musk vote on the Russian-Ukrainian war on the Internet.
In the comments, as China's most well-known media person, Hu Xijin warned the world's richest man: " Elon Musk is too indulgent in his personality, thinking that the speech of European and American countries is not restricted, and he must be careful that his fate will be miserable."
You should know that Musk and Hu Xijin have no intersection at all, as celebrities in their respective countries.
But this time it collides with an extremely strong smell of gunpowder.
Musk immediately forwarded Hu Xijin's post and directly made a Chinese rebuttal: "People who have their hands inserted into their pockets as a whole are too confident."
Musk's Chinese rebuttal immediately poured in more than 60,000 netizens' comments and interactions, and thousands of netizens left comments and comments.
2. All Chinese netizens are interpreting Musk's Chinese sentence: What does it mean?
What people unexpectedly expected was that this rare debate between China and the United States soon attracted the attention of netizens across China.
But the focus is not on the debate itself, but on the Chinese rebuttal issued by Musk: "The person who puts his hands in his pocket as a whole is too confident."
"What is the true meaning of this" has become a question for all Chinese netizens, and they have started speculation.
Some netizens believe that this is Musk mocking Hu Xijin for having blind confidence.
"I am obviously just a bystander in the Russian-Ukrainian war, but I show my confusion."
"Musk's meaning should be that Hu Xijin, as a bystander, accused a person in the authorities."
Other netizens think that Musk's meaning is very simple: "The Russian-Ukrainian war has nothing to do with you, and what I say is more about your business."
even netizens believe that Musk is using this Chinese sentence to mean that Hu Xijin is a typical "ignorant and fearless."
"A person who puts his hands in his pockets and doesn't understand anything, but thinks he is invincible in the world."
"I'm idle all day long, but I'm content with it."
3. Advanced interpretation: This is a famous saying of Confucius , and someone has sent a photo of Lei Jun with his hands in his pockets
In this all-China netizens' observation interpretation, a high-level version of the interpretation also appears - extending this Chinese to a famous saying of Confucius that has been circulated in Western society for a long time.
A netizen sent out the following cultural T-shirt with Confucius' avatar printed on it and the English version of Musk's sentence.
"This is a fake Confucius quote that is widely circulated in European and American society. It is the same as some Chinese people like to forge Lu Xun's quotes. Musk probably thinks that quoting Confucius' quotes to criticize Editor-in-Chief Hu would look very advanced."
Finally, some netizens posted a photo of Musk and Xiaomi founder Lei Jun, accompanied by Musk's Chinese passage: "People who have their hands inserted into their pockets as a whole are too confident."
In the photo, Lei Jun put his hands in his jeans pockets, looking at the camera with a smile, looking very relaxed.
