Boasting of "leading humanity," the scene reveals a "drowsy and tired demeanor": a young man uses a phrase, "er lang zi," to tear off Xi Jinping's leader filter

An overseas-circulated 19-second video features a young man using a dialect phrase "er lang zi" to criticize Xi Jinping for being lethargic, accompanied by a video of Xi's distracted appearance at a diplomatic event in Fiji, piercing the official narrative and the gap between reality.

In official propaganda, Xi Jinping is always portrayed as omnipotent, often claiming to "show the direction to the world." However, a recently popular 19-second short video on overseas networks uses the most authentic and intuitive footage to pour cold water on this "great leader."

In the video, a young man wearing glasses speaks bluntly, directly using the northern dialect phrase "er lang zi" to mock Xi Jinping's "sitting without posture and being lethargic" in public.

To prove he is not just talking nonsense, the young man attaches a real video in the second half: in 2014, Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony in Fiji, wearing a local floral shirt and sitting in the audience. At the time, the performance on stage was lively, but Xi Jinping in the video stared blankly, his face rigid, like a bystander, completely out of tune with the cheerful atmosphere on site.

This video has gone viral because the young man uses the most down-to-earth language to say what everyone wants to say but the officials dare not release: the truth.

The officials spend a lot of money on propaganda every day, trying to portray the leader as a perfect "god." But gods are also human, and humans get tired, stare blankly, and pretend. The more the propaganda machine praises him, the greater the contrast with this unedited video of him being distracted, making it look more ironic.

Although the Great Firewall blocks it, most people in China cannot see this video, but it still pierces the official lies like a small knife: when lofty slogans meet extremely real footage of being distracted, the so-called "leader's dignity" instantly becomes a ridiculous joke.
