Starting with smashing public intellectuals, we'll flatten the entertainment industry. A Gen Z online troll leader born in 2005, reborn in 1998.

Men and women, directors and producers, they're all trash. The boy fairly tortured everyone, and then rose up in rebellion in a fit of rage. It's time to give the Chinese entertainment industry a shock from a higher dimension! P. S.: As long as I criticize everyone fairly, who dares to call me a troll?

"The newlyweds entered the room, and the matchmaker was thrown over the wall." "I'd rather believe in ghosts than in a matchmaker's words."

The above three sentences clearly demonstrate how awkward the position of matchmakers is in the eyes of the Chinese people.

In less than six months, Jiang Feng became the most famous matchmaker in the surrounding area, receiving red envelopes and gifts every day.
