“There’s a merchant in this place who’s not afraid to die, ah, self-service soy sauce big bones, 58 a piece. My God, this boss is too young. “
“Friends, today we give a lesson to the young sauce big bone. “
The lesson means that the bubble dragon is going to use the amount of food to make the owner of the restaurant witness the limits of the diners.
At the end of the video, the camera flashes over a table full of sucked up bones and the restaurant owner who stays in place dumbfounded.
With out-of-the-loop lines and a mature video routine, the sizeable bubble dragon and his partner’s fan base is growing. On just one platform, Jitterbug, he has 2.63 million followers, Garlic Tao has 2.3 million followers, and the video shooter, Red Rain, has 13.5 million followers.

Moreover, there will be businessmen commenting under the video, the cooperation with the two is very pleasant, “Dragon are realistic to finish eating, the effect is very good”.
Xu Wenbo, a fan who has been following Bubble Dragon for two years, said that unlike other Big Gulps where there are fakes such as fake eating, Bubble Dragon has been eating for real for the past two years. This makes him feel interesting and is the motivation for its continued attention.
“How to determine fake eating or real eating? “
“Garlic Tao is gaining weight, Bubble Dragon’s passing also shows this”, Xu Wenbo said.
Similar to the views of many fans, he believes that the prolonged gorging is one of the reasons for Bubble Dragon’s premature death.
At this point, though, it has been difficult to determine what directly caused Bubbles to pass away. In a widely circulated obituary, Bubble Dragon passed away after working long and intense hours filming an anti-telecom fraud video for the police. Red Rain wrote that his death was “glorious”, ” The last of his Life left a few positive videos”.
The government agency changed its Home page profile to “Tonghua County Anti-Fraud Center” in the afternoon of March 10, on the official ShakeYin account. anti-fraud public welfare netizen Yu Hailong (bubble dragon) tribute”.
However, when interviewed by the media, Tonghua County Anti-Fraud Center staff said that Bubble Dragon is “normal filming, may be the night back to rest (died). “
Some fans have doubts about the discrepancies in the caliber.
Xu Wenbo and other fans on social media platforms to voice questions: Tonghua County anti-fraud six video release date were November 23, 2020, November 25, November 28, December 4, December 12, March 10, 2021, and five videos are in the sunny daytime.
“Given the frequency of release, what’s the high intensity? “
To the same displeasure of the fans, Bubbles has sold out to eat and drink in the past, but the blogger who shot the videos, Red Rain, has several times the number of followers.
They are based on the fact that the latter’s shake to shoot the content of the bubble dragon, has sat on 13.5 million fans. The two main characters, “Bubble Dragon” and ” Garlic Tao” short video account, respectively, only about 2.63 million, 2.3 million fans.
Enterprise data shows that there are two companies associated with Bubble Dragon, named Liaoning succulent Culture media, Liaoning red rain culture and entertainment, were established in May and June 2019. Both companies have a registered capital of 3 million yuan.
Red Rain, on the other hand, has been establishing itself as the driving force behind the incubation of the two big weblebrities.
He has publicly recalled that in early 2019, he went to a buffet dumpling restaurant with Bubble Dragon and Garlic Tao. Due to excessive food consumption, the trio had a verbal argument with the dumpling store owner. He uploaded the unintentionally filmed video to the short video platform, and the number of plays broke ten million in one night.
The video accidental fire, so the three people completely on the “eat and drink” the road of net popularity. Red rain did behind the scenes, became a video shoot and pay for the meal people.
Bubble Dragon and Garlic Tao are responsible for appearing on camera, going to major buffet restaurants to inhale large amounts of grease and carbohydrates, in the road to heavy obesity never return.
“If you eat any more, you will die.”
“Over the years, found his change and unchanged. What has not changed is eating more, what has changed is that the hair is getting less and less, the face is getting worse, and the body is getting harder to control,” said a highly praised comment in Zhihu.
Someone sharp-eyed noticed that since early 2021, Bubble Dragon gradually began to curb his appetite, he did not often gobble up meat in front of the camera, but appropriately divided the work with Garlic Tao.
When Garlic Tao ate Chengdu spicy hot pot in the hotel room, he went to the front of the store to drink free dessert, giving the reason – “I only eat without money “. Partner in Hainan coconut chicken store sweaty chicken casserole, while he is outside with a knife to chop coconut. Coconut chopped, Garlic Tao also finished the meat, he could only leave the scene with a regretful face.
Now looking back, people agree with hindsight: bubble dragon’s body then from discomfort, “have not been able to eat”.
Jitterbug fans “good people”, with “the smell of the same “to explain the reason for liking Bubble Dragon. He believes that the bubble dragon’s style of action has the northeast ordinary people’s simplicity and real, “look at his dinner is happy”.
Just, “good man” also has a selfish, see bubble dragon become popular, he hopes he earned enough money on “hurry up and lose weight” and try to transform. “Normal people can see that the black spots on his face is not a good thing. “
In professional terms, Bubble Dragon’s black spots are called acanthosis nigricans, which is a skin disease. A doctor said in a media interview that this type of condition is related to obesity and endocrine, and about 50% of those who develop it after middle age have combined tumors.
Xu Wenbo said that the body of the eating bloggers he follows, bubble dragon looks the worst. He left several messages at the bottom of the video, telling Bubble Dragon to check his health when he had Time, otherwise he would be prone to four highs and a heavy fatty liver.
He was angry that Red Rain just “disliked you as a black fan when he heard anyone mention health problems. Over time, he stopped commenting on it.
Outsiders are concerned about the health of the eater himself, the team is acting lightly. At the end of August last year, in the face of netizens “for the video ride health is not worth it” message, red rain response, said. “(He) is much healthier than before, now running (steps) everywhere”. By February 14 this year, red rain also responded in the comments section: “people inherently a death, or heavier than a mountain or lighter than a feather. “
In comparison, he put on the incubation of the Netflix much stronger. When taking bubble dragon and garlic Tao to the star hot pot restaurant, he would remind the two to bring gifts – they gave Zheng Kai a pair of Gold chopsticks, Du Haitao a set of gold bowls and chopsticks. The length of the bill for the three people’s consumption can go around the table most of the way.
This became both a video and a publicity stunt for the hot pot restaurant.
On October 25, 2020, someone left a message at the bottom of the video, “I want to enter 300 (pounds), can Mr. Red Rain take me? “
He replied quickly, “300 words need more than 5 meals a day, more fried puffed carbohydrates, more drinks and less exercise. “
The ordinary people who are propped up
Before becoming a netizen, Yu Hailong was an ordinary man delivering take-out in his hometown of Tieling, Liaoning, “earning 1500 yuan a month,” he had on August 13, 2020 wrote on his Weibo account.
He described himself as weak and sickly since childhood, grew to 300 pounds as a side effect of Medicine, had no friends in real life, and never had a girlfriend.
After becoming famous, Yu Hailong was portrayed as a model of a small person turning around and giving back to society. He helped the mayor of Fuxin, Liaoning Province, sell goods and made public service videos for the Tonghua County Public Security Bureau. He was quoted in the obituary released by Red Rain as saying, “I used to be a delivery man, and now so many people are concerned about me, so if there is any need in society, I’m sure I’ll do my best. “
Only, Xu Wenbo, who is also from the northeast, believes that he has the color of a typical local underclassman – uneducated and can only earn money by selling physical strength. Watching him eat the feeling gradually turned into “heartache” “pity”.
And such a group, precisely became the protagonist of many eating videos. Eat broadcast industry threshold is low, in the audience hunting and ugly mentality, relying on a large number of eating, or swallowing odd food to obtain traffic cash, attracting a batch of “bubble dragon” The red carpet of net popularity.
Only two months ago, on January 22, Sun Yixuan, a 19-year-old young man who was also a food blogger, passed away due to cerebral hemorrhage. His personal account had 500,000 followers at the cost of his “eating three staples for every meal”.
In June 2020, another** food blogger surnamed Wang from Shenyang suddenly felt sick while live** and died a week after being sent to hospital. In an interview with the media, his wife revealed that during the six months of dry eating, he ate only one meal a day, once every two days live. The skyrocketing food intake during the live broadcast allowed him to grow to 280 pounds.
His wife said that the business was not doing well leading to a lot of pressure on him. And do eat broadcast seems more appropriate – he usually love meat, and eat a surprising amount, “two or three minutes to destroy a pound of elbow “.
Persistent overeating makes anchors eventually pay the price of life.
In the face of such deaths, some netizens blame the flow of capital operations behind, and there are angry voices calling for the complete outlawing of the Big Gastric King eating broadcast. There are even people who ask: every netizen who likes this in front of the cell phone screen is the murderer of the tragedy.
The bubble dragon once said that the delivery days, “life is not a little color”. After making the video, he became “a normal person full of aspirations for life” He was also “much healthier than before”.
But six months later, he passed away suddenly.
The sad thing about these recurring “accidents,” as one user put it, is that “In times of famine, when people finally got food, some people would die. Now, with the great abundance of material goods, people have endless food, and still some people will die. “
Baidu posters have a user summary: a delivery, take life to fight the future.
Failure.
