While Xiaomi's prominent founder Lei Jun garnered cheers from reporters at the two sessions, Zhou Yunjie, CEO of Haier, standing beside him, was caught on camera sporting a subtly "resigned expression". Zhou's expression quickly turned into a trending meme that strongly resonated with introverted internet users. On March 21, Zhou was found publishing debut posts on his newly-opened social media accounts.
