What does Tom Yum Kung mean?

Tom Yum Kung actually means hot and sour shrimp soup, and the word "COVID-19" is added to express his feelings after getting COVID-19. The story of Tom Yum Goong: Legend has it that during the Thonburi Dynasty in Thailand in the 18th century, the Chinese King Taksin was in power. Princess Miaoyun was sick and didn’t want to eat anything. King Taksin asked the royal chef to make some appetizer soup for the princess. Unexpectedly, after the princess drank this bowl of soup, her appetite increased and her illness gradually improved, so King Zheng Xin named it Tom Yum Goong soup and designated it as the national soup.
