There is a rumor that Mao Anying was cooking fried rice when he was killed in an airstrike and that the smoke from his cook fire betrayed his position. This is why it's a sensitive subject.

The really funny part of this whole thing is that I never knew about the rumor you mentioned until this whole thing happened. Streisand effect much?
Is this for real? Why is this dude's death so important to people?
This whole article left me like "wat?"
Which is a bitch move by Winnie the pooh.
I suspect that it is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
I also suspect that they’d rather have people getting upset over fried rice than the current disease outbreak they’re having.
I heard he choked on the fried rice before the air strike even hit.
The Streisand Effect in action.
Before reading this article I had never heard that Mao Zedong's son got himself killed over some fried rice.
I have now added Nov 25th as Mao's kid was an idiot day to my calender. Looks like ~~meat~~ Egg fried rice is back on the menu boys
That’s the point of this. Make people remember November 25th for the rice thing and not for what happened on that date last year.
Da fuq? How the hell is this at all controversial?
Angry nationalists accused Wang of using the video to mock the death of Mao Zedong’s eldest son, Mao Anying, who was killed in an American air strike during the Korean War on November 25, 1950.
Well, guess I am making egg fried rice for dinner tomorrow.
Angry nationalists accused Wang of using the video to mock the death of Mao Zedong’s eldest son, Mao Anying, who was killed in an American air strike during the Korean War on November 25, 1950.
Can someone explain to me what that has to do with egg fried rice?
Mao Anying was killed in a bombing run on 25 November 1950. He was assigned to a place that the then PVA commander felt would be safe from UN air raids. He was supposedly in a makeshift shelter near some caves when the bombs struck. Some rebel groups or anti-government people say that the man was cooking food in daylight, which was against Army regulations, and that gave away their position to the enemy.
Some Chinese citizens and groups who oppose Mao Zedong commemorate the anniversary of Mao Anying's death by eating egg fried rice. According to some sources, on the morning of 25 November 1950, Mao Anying, alongside staff officers Gao Ruixun and Cheng Pu, cooked egg fried rice for breakfast in the office of Peng Dehuai, despite orders only to cook at night for fear of American air raids. It is alleged that their preparation of that meal drew the attention of American bombers, contributing to the deaths of Mao and Gao. Taken from Wikipedia.

Shark fin.... I have no regrets whatsoever eating meat... But shark fin is animal cruelty on a quite high level.
deleted by creator
The problem with shark fin as an ingredient is that the fishermen normally catch a shark, cut off the fin and throw it back alive... and it slowly dies in agony.
If we're going to kill to eat we could at least try to let the animal suffer as little as possible and use as much of the animal we can.
Why do they keep the sharks alive? I imagine its harder to cut the fins when its alive and thrashing than to kill it first. Whats up with that?
Cheaper, they catch them and hang them upside down, cut the fins and drop them back in the ocean. No disposal, and quicker.
That make sense and paints a horrible picture. I imagine the sharks can't swim without the fin? Just float until it starves to death? Fuck. Ruins my day.
I'd rather they cut an artery or something before dropping them so it can atleast die quicker.
If I would write about this topic as I feel about it this would end in extreme hate-speech about the demographics who eat them and those who do those unbelievable deeds. It's a beyond vile, absolute devoid of any value, twisted & sick industry. Just read the wikipedia entry for shark-finning.
In addition to causing immeasurable suffering and death to a mindboggling number of sharks, with up to 70-80% reduction within a lot of shark-species, they're setting the fate of other marine ecosystems too...
The main task of sharks is to balance out those systems by hunting too numerous species. A Sea-Wolf. Now there's a constant flow of rotting shark carcasses which will possibly let the wrong species thrive which won't be regulated anymore. But those 400 million years old species time has come anyway in the very near future because it won't have anything to regulate anymore.
Look up what happened in Yellowstone with the reintroduction of the wolf (that was killed off previously in 1930) and the resulting self-regulating system. In the adjacent Montana they shoot up to half of the wolf population and in surrounding states the "game" is coyotes and foxes. With cruel traps like sadistic trappers do. Now they have to mow down super-boar herds with MGs. Instead of finding better ways to co-exist with natures ranger-creatures which are doing a way better job in Yellowstone than hunters.
It's the wolfs merit that beavers, foxes, songbirds and willows came back just by regulating elk and deer populations. But in a completely different way than hunters. Disclaimer: I'm from Europe and only read up on that so I may have recited a few things incorrect.
Don't wanted to discuss this topic and I don't expect an answer. Just wanted to vent.
I can't answer your question and wikipedia doesn't as well. I guess it has something to do with speed. Would fit those pieces of walking excrements who run that industry.

What the actual fuck? Bizarre dystopian nightmare every fucking day.
Anyone else really want some fried rice?
Good month for it
All my homies hate Mao.
Looking forward to the June 3rd pancake video
I'll continue to enjoy whatever food I like.
you are so brave
I madr some egg fried rice in honor of this story
I interact with many Chinese people from all across the country, including hardcore critics of the government. No one has even heard of this story about Mao’s son. My girlfriend had egg fried rice the other day. Idk what’s going on here, but I don’t think it’s as simple as the article would imply. There’s no nationalistic sentiment about egg fried rice in China at large. Maybe it’s only in a specific province?
Feel like I'm reading Phillip K Dick
Whatever, serve me up please.
🥱
Imagine caring about what losers say on the internet.
Maybe they want their freedom fry rice back? I dunno.
