蔡康永 Kevin Tsai aka Cai Kangyong co-hosts the popular Taiwanese variety-comedy talk show Kangxi Lai Le (literally “Kangxi Arrives” or “Here Comes Kangxi”).
A few days ago, he asked his 20 million Sina Weibo followers for their reflections on the recent 2013 Spring Festival public holiday, which lasted 7 days from February 9-15. At the time of translation, this 9-character Weibo post had 4,259 upvotes, 30,779 re-shares, and 28,252 comments. Most Chinese netizens report holiday hangover.
From Sina Weibo:
@蔡康永: The annual holiday is over…(…add 5 characters)
