Suddenly, a baker from Taiwan "fired" in the mainland.
His name is Wu Baochun. He won the World Bread Championship in 2010 and has dominated Taiwan's baking industry ever since.
In the past few days, the opening of its new store in Shanghai has caused quite a stir. There is no other reason for
—before and after the opening of the new store, Wu Baochun was picked up by netizens who threatened to “don’t care about the mainland market” and suspected “Taiwan independence” remarks. As a result, he was praised by the green media as the “light of Taiwan”...
Wu Baochun
In order to appease the emotions of mainland netizens, Wu Baochun issued a statement yesterday (10th) saying that he was born in Taiwan, China and was not a "Taiwan independence element."
However, this confession did not prevent the further fermentation of the incident...
He denied that he said, "I will never come to the mainland if I starve to death."
"I am a baker born in Taiwan, China. As a Chinese, it is me. The pride of China, "A family on both sides of the strait" is my persistent attitude." In the statement on the 10th of
, Wu Baochun confessed affectionately.
However, compared with the controversy caused by him and his own bakery in the past few days, this confession was a bit late and a little bit abrupt. On the 7th, a netizen posted a picture on Weibo showing that Wu Baochun Bakery "Wu Baochun Maifang" Store" opened its first store in mainland China. From the picture, the business in the store is quite prosperous, and many consumers have queued up. The screenshot of
on Weibo of netizens
is exactly this scene that confuses many netizens. After all, this baker, who was once touted by the green media on the island, is not a "male classmate without a story."
As early as 2016, Wu Baochun said in an interview with Taiwanese media: "Although the Chinese (Mainland) market has 1.3 billion, but the world has more than 7 billion, I will not only look at China (Mainland)."
This kind of "statement" type of conversation immediately made some people excited. While his remarks made a lot of noise, Wu Baochun was even praised as the "light of Taiwan", and was even once deduced as "I will starve to death without going to the mainland". Speech. Thanks to the "step by step" of some Taiwanese media, a "typical" boycotting the mainland seems to have been born.
Taiwan media previously reported that the screenshot
was also because of this, Wu Baochun, who was coming to the mainland to open a store in March this year, has never been recognized by mainland netizens.
So, on the 7th, the new store "detonated" the network as soon as it opened. The most intuitive scene of
appeared on the "Dianping" homepage of this bakery. In addition to expressing dissatisfaction with negative reviews and one-star ratings, a large number of netizens also modified the "customer recommended menu". The original bread varieties in the store were marked as "Taiwan independence bread", "Mainlanders stupid money and more bags", and "Hungry." s does not come to the mainland package"...

In the message area, netizens left words of anger and sarcasm:
Amidst the boycott, the "Dianping" app will then "Wu Baochun Maifang" "From the platform. After
's anger spread, the above statement of Wu Baochun came into being.
In this statement published on the company’s official website, Wu Baochun denied that he was a “Taiwan independence element”, saying that he had never made any remarks that “you will not come to the mainland if you starve to death” and supported the “92 Consensus”.

"I'm really not'Taiwan independence', some people still don't believe it, what should I do?"
When Wu Baochun and his bakery caused an uproar on the mainland, there was no moment of silence on the island.
According to Taiwan’s “ETtoday News Cloud” report, in the face of doubts and feel rushed, Wu Baochun urgently called for help from the quasi-Kaohsiung Mayor Han Guoyu.
reported that after thinking about the Korean Yujing, "Wu Baochun Bakery is a Kaohsiung store, and now he has been elected mayor, of course he has the responsibility to protect the citizens", so he decided to accompany Wu Baochun to hold a press conference in Kaohsiung this afternoon (11th). .
But what makes Wu Baochun feel a headache is that this morning, before the press conference was held, the leader of the Taiwan authorities, Tsai Ing-wen, rushed to "put in."
According to Taiwan’s "United Daily News", at a media meeting in the morning, Tsai Ing-wen talked aboutWu Baochun publicly supported the "92 Consensus", saying that "this matter is very serious", and took the opportunity to criticize that "the mainland uses politics to distort the economy and trade, and Taiwanese will not accept it."
But even more "embarrassing" is that at the press conference held at about 1 pm, both Han Guoyu and Wu Baochun did not mention Tsai Ing-wen's remarks, but simply emphasized that "businessmen develop their careers and hope that the people on both sides of the strait will bless you. ".

It is worth mentioning that Wu Baochun is not the only Taiwanese who has been caught in the "Taiwan independence" storm and has suffered from "self-help" recently.
"I'm really not ('Taiwan independence'), so I don't know why everyone thinks I am. I have already talked about it. Some people still don't believe it. What should I do?"
was accepting Sina Entertainment yesterday (10th) During the interview, Taiwan host Tao Jingying's latest response. In the video, she is dressed in cowboy clothes and looks tired and helpless.
And her situation and attitude are generally considered to be one of the aftermaths of the just-concluded 55th Golden Horse Awards. On the night of the
ceremony (November 17), when public opinion focused on mainland actors’ strong remarks on the "China Taiwan Golden Horse Award" and "Affectionate Family", Tao Jingying, a Taiwanese host who mainly sought development in the mainland in recent years, But he became one of the Taiwanese celebrities who accidentally "lay the gun".
Tao Jingying was interviewed.
Many mainland netizens launched a collective "crisis" against it and asked for it to be "banned"-the reason is that when the jury was introduced in the ceremony, she did not mention Gong Li, the chairman of the jury.
In fact, on the night of the incident, Tao Jingying issued an article to deny it: "Oh my God! Wrong! I asked Gong Li if I wanted to say a few words in the ad. She said she didn't want to. She felt that she had said enough. After repeated confirmation, she said. Don't disturb her."
But then she deleted the blog post again.
Regarding Tao Jingying’s performance that night and the call for “banning” later, Xiaorui noticed that at that time there were green media on the island and began to gloat for misfortunes, to the effect that Tao Jingying was planning to move her family to Shanghai to develop her career. "Blocked" and so on. In an interview with Sina Entertainment, Tao Jingying also mentioned her past controversial and inconsistent remarks such as "Chinese girls went to Taiwan to grab boys", arguing with the analogy of blind people touching the elephant: "There are so many things in life. You have to keep learning. , You will know, oh, it turns out that the whole picture is like this."
's statement is not unhumble, and the attitude is not insincere.
However, the response given by mainland netizens is still mixed.
As long as you oppose "Taiwan independence", you are welcome to come to the mainland for development.
How should we treat Wu Baochun and Tao Jingying's alleged "Taiwan independence" storm? Some netizens of
believe that the reason they caused the controversy and then denied it was just to make money in the mainland.
However, at the same time, many netizens believe that since the parties have made a clear statement, at least their attitude is worthy of recognition.
In recent years, with the continuous development of the mainland economy and performing arts market, more and more businessmen and entertainers from the other side choose to go west.
Speaking of the purpose of entering the mainland market, whether it is to pursue self-worth or just to "attract money", in Xiaorui's opinion, there is nothing wrong with it, and we can even openly admit that this is also the attraction of the motherland mainland. One of the concrete manifestations of continuous enhancement.
After all, the facts are here: for 40 years of reform and opening up, with the development of the economy and the improvement of overall national strength, we should be more confident and confident when facing the major problems of the reunification of Taiwan Province and the motherland.
This is just as An Fengshan, the spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in response to Wu Baochun’s question about opening a store in the mainland in March this year. The introduction of the Hui-Taiwan measures is to provide Taiwan compatriots with the same treatment as mainland compatriots. Provide better development opportunities.
In addition, An Fengshan mentioned in response to other questions that films with participation by Taiwanese artists who stand for "Taiwan independence" and have "Taiwan independence" words and deeds will not be allowed to be shown on the mainland.
"(But) if these Taiwanese artists realize the mistakes and harms of'Taiwan independence' and change their thinking and actions, we welcome it." An Fengshan also said.
