Translator perfectly explained the whole Zhan Jinlai, but forgot the most crucial part.

How do we go from "I'm happy to see Mokou, through it reminds me of that moment in Journey to the West where Sun Wukong scratches his nose" to two flowers?

Look at the quote more carefully:

"It will be a **twin blossom** of both art and physical elegance, and a promotion of Chinese culture. Please support me."

To be perfectly fair, and much as I adore this artist's portrayal of Mokou, it is utterly impossible for outsiders to know whether the criticisms of the actor are valid or the equivalent of democratic youtube comments.

He seems like a grade-a asshat, so ribbing on his behavior is valid if nothing else. There's making fun of a person's political position, and there's a person being such a bizarre character that it begins to overtake him.

Oh this is a hard one, prepare for the absurdly long translation note.

EDIT: Phew. It's done. Do fix the broken English if you have the chance. I was...not thinking right for the moment.

Touched up a few bits here and there, but it was mostly alright before I started so yeah.

Thanks for the absurdly long translation note. These insights into chinese internet culture are great.

That being said, Zhangposting kind of reminds me of Toddposting.

Asian languages in general have a ton of crazy insults and curses whose meaning you can't replicate in the English language. It is seriously a fine art to insult someone there, which is only amplified by how important body language is there also

Insulting people in Chinese appears to be a fine art, as opposed to simply calling someone an asshat.

You're wrong, it's a meme for taunting a hypocritical actor in China.
