Netizen blogger Cao Yewen recently posted a video about his working experience, which caused a lot of anger among netizens.
In the video, Cao says, “I’m going to experience a day as a bricklayer, it’s my own construction project, and the site workers don’t know the identity of my group’s Missy.
When she arrived at the construction site, she was greeted by the project director, project manager, and technical staff, all dressed in their helmets, and she even said proudly, “There is a fine of 200 for not wearing a helmet. Afterwards, Cao said, “I’m not tired of working, because my waist muscles are very flexible after years of equestrian training.
After working for a day, Cao said, “I want to tell my father that I want a certain house in a certain building, because I nailed some of the nails there. Finally, the worker at the construction site transfers the money to Cao, and Cao shows him his bank balance, which is more than 10 million.
The title of Cao’s video is: Are you tired? Tired is right, comfort is reserved for the rich. After being challenged by users, she changed the title to: Good Morning, Beating Workers.
A few excerpts from the highly praised comment.
- Not only create your pain, but also laugh at your pain. What’s worse is to consume your pain and finally tell you that your pain is justified. You want to cry out for pain, but you can’t make a sound.
The most disgusting thing is that you have to give yourself a proper brand, if you really want to experience life, it is recommended that you work at a construction site for a year, almost.
- Children of rich families go to work = exercise, contact with the community, increase communication, understanding of the market, taste the hardships of the folk, watch monkey show, anyway, you can get out of the way at any time, we are different, we hit workers do not go to work that can only drink the northwest wind, what do you call hitting workers?

On October 24, when the Internet stunt “Beating the Worker” was hot, one of the B station’s UPs, @CaoYiWeniris, uploaded a video called “Are You Tired? The “Tired is Right, Comfort is for the Rich” video, which was controversial for its name alone, was indeed “hot”, but in the end it was also a “hit”. The “flip”.
The biggest difference between this self-proclaimed “group lady”, @CaoYiWeniris, and other B-streamers is that she is a “rich second generation,” and most of the videos she has posted on B-stream since 2018 show “another world of life” that is completely different from ordinary people.
For example, she has posted her “My Million Dollar Wardrobe” series, in which she shows a lot of luxury dresses, diamond rings, and bags worth millions of dollars, and these luxury items cost 10W+, making them unattainable for ordinary people.
In “Are You Tired? In the video “Tired is Right, Comfort is for the Rich”, @CaoYiWeniris, either intentionally or unintentionally, shows off his wealth, frivolity, sarcasm, cynicism, etc. This social issue, which is already somewhat serious and even sensitive, has been turned into a reality show, provoking “worker beating”. The issue of social class confrontation and class entrenchment is already extremely sensitive behind the network stalk.
Some netizens said that after watching the video, they felt that the “rich daughter” was more like “paying a private visit to the people”, and that this “sense of detachment” was the main reason for the anger of many netizens.
A media investigation found that @caoiris was featured in a magazine with the “Huawei daughter”, who comes from a “family of architects”.
Not long ago, Cao and Ren Zhengfei’s daughter, Yao Siwei, were featured on the cover of the September issue of Tatler magazine, and almost all of the people on the cover are the “second generation” of their parents who have achieved success. The magazine says that Cao comes from an architectural family. Among other things, the magazine said that Cao comes from a family of architects and that her family has been involved in important construction projects at home and abroad since her grandfather’s generation, such as the construction of Shanghai Disneyland. Cao said in an interview that she has an older brother and that she has not succeeded the family business, but that she can’t completely deviate from it either. The two companies she founded, Yifeng Culture and Pegatron Education, will incubate IPs in various fields of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and then use the convergence effect of IPs to create a platform for small-bourgeois lifestyle to feed the family business. In addition, Cao was a historical shareholder of Shanghai Hongtao Construction Development Co. –Red Star News｜Cao Yewen’s company responded to the netizens’ outrage after the release of his video: very alarmed and dealing with the situation
Some netizens believe that @CaoYiWeniris’s video has had a sort of “accelerationist” effect, that she has accelerated an already highly inflamed society in China’s public opinion. The class conflict, which makes the real workers “insulted” and “humiliated”, is a class conflict. “The mind is broken” and “class consciousness is awakened. “. In the comments section of @CaoYiWeniris’s video, many netizens expressed anger like these
But don’t the “proletarians” who call themselves “workers’ grandparents” lack the same sense of reality as @caoiris?
After it exploded on the Internet, @CaoYiWeniris changed the title of the video to “Good Morning, Beating Workers” and then topped it with an apology comment.
The “chief accelerator” has already warned: “Don’t look at the fun you’re having today, but beware of pulling lists in the future!
