Tea eggs have suddenly become a hot "Internet magic weapon" from a variety show broadcast by a Taiwanese TV station in 2011, in which the host and guests talked freely about their experiences in the mainland and their impressions of the mainland, and the talk was full of misunderstandings and sarcasm, and the guest of honor of the show, Gao Zhi-bin, a professor at the Taipei Institute of Gastronomy, said in the show that people in the mainland could not afford to consume tea eggs with their low incomes. In the program, the guest of honor, professor of Taipei Gourmet College, Kao Chi-Bin, claimed that the mainland people could not afford to consume tea eggs with low income.

This program was uploaded by mainland netizens in that year, and in 2014, after the "new fried cold rice" triggered a hot debate, a "laugh at the poor" tea eggs hurt the hearts of countless netizens on the mainland. Since then, the tea egg spoof paragraph more like a spring. Netizens have to tea eggs as the subject of banter, and sunshine their own eating tea eggs photos "show off". See main entry: Gao Zhi-Bin

Program guest Gao Zhi-Bin, a professor at the Taipei Gourmet College, recalled that in 2011 he participated in the taping of a program on Taiwan's CCTV in his capacity as an industrial counseling instructor for the "Council of Labor Affairs". At that time, a student proposed to go to the mainland to sell tea eggs, he reminded that not every place in the mainland people eat tea eggs, there are some places where the per capita income is very low, to pay attention to thinking about regional differences and marketing strategies. Because the program was short and there were many participating guests, he did not have enough time to speak clearly and express himself not very adequately.

He said he had no subjective malice and was trying to remind students that people in those poor places can't buy your tea eggs every day. The internet screenshot is a cropped video footage that created a misunderstanding. It is embarrassing to make mainland netizens unhappy! Gao Zhibin said he has been more than ten years have not come to the mainland, but through the network and often go to the mainland friends, the progress of the mainland over the years is still very understanding, and he himself really do not have any want to belittle, discriminate against the mainland's economic achievements and people's lives of the subjective malice.
