I want to tell you about a story from China, perhaps the most "emotionally authentic" meme in recent years. This person is called "Fat Cat." In 2024, he was a 20-year-old game booster who, because he fell in love with a girl, continuously transferred money to her over three years, funded 70,000 to open a flower shop, and even the night before jumping into the river, transferred another 66,000 yuan to her, with a note saying "voluntary gift." She replied to him with "calm down for a while," and then, he jumped off the bridge. Afterward, the entire internet commemorated him. Some ordered food deliveries to the riverside to mourn him, some brands released "empty milk tea" and were widely mocked, some netizens called him the "king of simps," and others said he was the "Chinese version of Bonk." Fat Cat is not a hero. He is a loser, a tragic figure, a real character needed by Web3. He symbolizes: The love and cost of young people, the misplacement and collapse of emotions, and how real-world pain transforms into the meme power of the internet.
