The 'Xue Hua Piao Piao' meme originated from a video of Chinese actor Zhang Aiqin, known as 'Eggman' for his unique head shape, singing the classic track 'Yi Jian Mei' by Fei Yu-ching in the snow. The clip went viral internationally in 2020 after being shared on TikTok and YouTube. The poetic lyrics describe snowflakes fluttering and the north wind blowing, which users adopted to represent feelings of melancholy, defeat, or ironic sadness. It is often used to respond to complaints or to signify a dramatic, snowy resignation to one's fate.
