SHANGHAI, CHINA — A female reporter broke the Chinese internet when she rolled her eyes during China's annual parliament session Tuesday morning. <br /><br />As China's annual session of the country's legislature marched into week two, the often scripted media Q&A session proved too much for one journalist. <br /><br />When listening to a fellow reporter speak to a Chinese official, Yicai[f] financial news reporter Liang Xiangyi[g] was so unimpressed by the long-winded question that took some 40 seconds to ask. To show her disgust, Liang rolled her eyes.<br /><br />After Liang's reaction was captured by China's CCTV, the moment quickly spread across Chinese social media like wildfire. Gifs and videos inspired by Liang's epic eye-roll flooded Chinese social media, but unfortunately they were all later deleted by China's censors. <br /><br />Liang's name also ended up becoming one of the most-censored terms on Chinese social media platform Weibo, guess that's quite an accomplishment for a reporter.<br /><br />The original question was basically about how China is going to supervise overseas assets, but there appeared to really long boring build-up before the reporter actually got to the question.
