Fourth picture: The word above Hope Flute's head changed to Ke Yi'er, his face was swollen from being beaten, and he was kneeling on one knee, serving tea to his father.
Since the meme creator also thoughtfully translated it into an English version full of local flavor, once posted, it went viral on major gaming sections of media like Twitter and TikTok.

Before long, the nickname 'Ke Yi'er' even became popular worldwide.
Although the mockery was more prevalent, it served as a backlash to the various public relations efforts previously made by Hope Flute.

While the mockery did not impact its own industrial products, the company most certainly lost face.
