This week's Memecoin Narrative Radar 👀
One meme has been getting a lot of attention in the Chinese crypto community this week:
“Chinese People Can Fly” (#
中国人能飞#)
But what exactly is it, and why did it suddenly take off?
The meme originally came from a freestyle by Chinese rapper Lambo, featuring the line:
“Chinese people can fly, yellow skin is the way, speak Chinese and you can fly, China is beautiful.”
The melody was so catchy that it quickly became a viral meme in China. Basically, whenever something “takes off,” this BGM fits.
But what really brought the meme back this week was MediaStorm.
On Sep. 21, they announced a special livery for an upcoming rocket launch:
From a distance, it reads “Chinese People Can Fly.”
Up close, every pixel is made from real photos submitted by the community.
A meme that started online is now, quite literally, going to space.
The on-chain market reacted fast too, with a same-name Meme launching on BSC and quickly gaining attention across the Chinese crypto community.
Why did it spread so fast?
Viral internet meme + real-world event + community participation + ongoing Chinese Meme momentum
From a freestyle, to internet remixes, to a real rocket, and finally on-chain.
That’s the story behind this week’s “Chinese People Can Fly” narrative.
