Lee Ziqi's "Life of a Radish" kimchi-making video was mobbed by Korean netizens, why?

A few days ago, Li Ziqi posted the last video of the "Lifetime Series" series on top of Youtube. The theme of this installment was the life of a radish.

With radish as the main character, she introduced the process of radish from sowing, growing to harvesting, and finally being made into dried radish, pickled radish dish, sour and spicy cabbage, and steamed dumplings with braised pork in pickled cabbage. The idyllic video, which continues Li Ziqi's usual style, was not expected to draw a collective climax from Korean netizens this time. The reason for the Korean netizens' anger was simply because they thought kimchi was Korean and that Li Ziqi, who is Chinese, couldn't make a video about making kimchi.

So Li Ziqi's video was stepped on more than 30,000 times, and more than 6,000 Korean comments were left in the comment section, almost all of which were invectives and attacks:

"Do you think that by doing this we, kimchi, have become yours? Remember, kimchi is a traditional Korean food!"

"It's really gotten to the point where it's disgusting, why hasn't China changed? Is it that much of a fan of our Korean culture?"

There are also all sorts of slams against the Chinese system, denigration of Chinese society, insults to Chinese culture, and yin and yang cursing of Chinese people, which makes one's blood pressure helicopter. What's outrageous is that from start to finish the video doesn't even remotely reflect the question about kimchi ownership, but this group of Korean netizens are jumping around like cats whose tails have been stepped on.

Look at their theories, which really make people laugh. The origin of kimchi was first seen in the Book of Songs and has been around for at least 3,100 years. How did kimchi become uniquely Korean in modern times? Taking a step back, Korea imports 99 percent of its kimchi ingredients from China, Japan and the United States. Without China's exports, how could they eat kimchi so easily? Korea's kimchi has been influenced by China from time immemorial, yet many Koreans are as ignorant and arrogant as frogs in a well, as if they invented it as long as it is a pickled vegetable.

Liaoning TV host Zhu Xia disliked it well: "In the Northeast, kimchi is an enclosing dish, and it has to be removed when the main dish is served.

Because they have done so many cheeky things in the past, Chinese netizens were not surprised that they had to say "kimchi is Korean, and Li Ziqi can't do it," almost as if they were listening to a joke.

Over the past nearly two decades, Koreans want to turn Chinese culture into Korean culture attempts, has not stopped. For example, in the case of the Dragon Boat Festival, Korea's successful "Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival" is a festival that takes place during the Dragon Boat Festival in Gangwon Province. The scene is probably like this:

And our Chinese Dragon Boat Festival customs, such as eating rice dumplings, rowing dragon boats, commemorating Qu Yuan, and they have nothing to do. But after the successful bid, their netizens automatically defaulted to all that is related to the Dragon Boat Festival is theirs. Even when Li Ziqi posted a video of making dumplings, it was frantically reported by them until it was taken off the shelves.

This kind of farce is really not the first time. Small countries, in order to increase the national self-confidence, naturally want to find ways to increase their own historical depth. The first thing you need to do is to graft the history of other countries onto your own.
