An online intangible cultural heritage creation competition created a bridge between Su Mianyan and Lin Hengyu.
Su Mianyan, who competed under the Zhiyi account, lost by one vote to Mu Yan, the designer Lin Hengyu who was discovered by netizens.
Lin Hengyu wrote a mocking post because he did not recognize Su Mianyan's innovative ideas. As a result, the two people, who had never met each other, began to confront each other online and became unrelenting online enemies.
