What about a man carrying a hoe? It’s “to carry something” when used as a verb. Animal stickers often seem harmless enough, so if you’d like to show friendliness or just don’t want to sound harsh, this kind of memes is usually safe to use.Which Chinese character resembles the image that a man carries a lighted candle on his head? The answer is “light”. Since I have a cat, I opt to use cat stickers most of the time. You can find countless stickers based on animals (especially cats and dogs) online that could make you laugh to tears. 6Īnimals are the natural sources of inspiration for people who love to create memes, not only in China but also in the globe. The last picture of a dancing Jerry means “sorry” – but it’s said in a casual and even ironic manner, which usually implies the person who apologizes is just joking or not very sincere. This is quite characteristic of many young people (including me) in China as they refuse to sleep early because of scanning Weibo posts, using Wechat and the like however, they know this habit is unhealthy so they’re always attempting to give it up.Īs for the rest above, their meanings differ from each other so I won’t explain them one by one. In fact, it’s something of self sarcasm when you tell others that you’re staying up late. Are you one of them?” Judged by its literal meaning, you may wonder if it’s used to mock people who go to bed early, but that’s not the case.

Personally, I enjoy using Tom & Jerry stickers very much because they look so cute and vivid. 5ĭo you know the Tom & Jerry animated franchise? Believe it or not, most Chinese young people have watched this animation and consider it as a reminder of childhood. Besides his trademark uneasy grin, Gavin also has other funny facial expressions that are made into Chinese WeChat stickers. Or you could use them to reveal embarrassment when you don’t know what to say in the moment (especially because you don’t agree to what’s been told).

I’ve seen many people use his stickers while chatting, mostly to express embarrassment and powerlessness in a humorous way. Memes for Gavin the “fake smile boy” have gone viral around the internet of China these years.
