This director is vindictive.

Actually, at this point in the event, the benefits are one aspect, but the key is that this wave of popularity has been created.

For many netizens, whether or not there are benefits is actually secondary.

At least they had a lot of fun these past few days.

Some people found old friends they hadn't seen for years, had a small gathering, enjoyed the joy of reunion, and chatted about their current situation and the past.

Some people may not necessarily find love by mustering their courage, but at least they will not leave any regrets in their youth and will gain a profound memory that will last for many years.

Of course, some people find love but lose their marriage certificate and gain a marriage certificate instead.
Some people have also made peace with themselves, their friends, and their family.
During this time, some people rejoiced at reunions, while others suffered the pain of parting, but that's life.

As a new day dawns and the welfare week draws to a close, netizens are filled with both anticipation and reluctance to see it end.

Such activities are not uncommon, but whether an event with such widespread public participation and influence can be replicated after Chen Mo's retirement from the entertainment industry remains to be seen.

A new day's social media theme has been released, simple yet heartwarming: [Smile].

The official statement reads: "Today, let's all show off our most infectious smiles!"
Some say that people who smile often have good luck, others say that a smile makes you ten years younger, and there's an old saying that you can't hit a smiling face. Whether it's a stranger's kind smile on the subway in the early morning or a heartwarming smile when you see your family leaving the light on after working overtime late at night, behind every smile lies a warm story.

Special call for submissions:

#MostHealingSmiles# (Pet's silly smile/Baby's cute smile/Elderly's kind smile)
#ProfessionalSmileChallenge# (See whose smile is more standard: flight attendant or bank teller)
#FunnyMomentsThatMakeYouLaughSoHard# (Sharing those moments when you laugh so hard the camera shakes)

Friendly reminder: We recommend using the original camera app for selfies, since a smile with beauty filters will look like an instant noodle package – just for reference!

Remember: the most beautiful smiles come from the heart, as natural as the morning sun!
As soon as the event was announced, netizens left numerous comments.

"I just tried to fake a smile for a client for two hours, and now my facial nerves are twitching. Is this considered a work-related injury?"

"My Corgi's smile = tongue crooked to the left + crazy butt shaking, has been voted the best healing smile in the neighborhood for three consecutive years."

"I suggest adding a #ForcedSmile# category. I want to submit a video of a professional smile that was asked to be revised 20 times by the client."

As the first rays of sunlight illuminated the earth, the "Smile" campaign officially began.

Netizen @WinterSunshine took a series of photos at the subway station:
An elderly woman with gray hair was bending over and slowly squatting down to help a little girl tie her untied shoelaces.

The little girl was still crying, but the old lady tied her up while gently coaxing her.

The little girl's mother was standing nearby, busy on the phone, and didn't even notice that her child's shoelaces were undone.

After tying her shoelaces, the old lady looked up and grinned at the little girl—who was missing a front tooth, making her smile especially adorable, like sunlight suddenly breaking through a cloudy day.

The little girl paused for a moment, then grinned, tears still clinging to her face.

One netizen captioned the post: "The old lady's smile is warmer than the heating in the subway. I quickly stood up and gave her my seat."

These photos, taken by commuters on the subway, unexpectedly went viral online.

It is hailed as the most heartwarming smile.

Netizens left comments expressing their amazement.

"That smile is so heartwarming! This old lady isn't missing teeth, she's missing a touch of human kindness!"

"The little girl's mother said: 'My phone shows me the whole world, but I missed the warmest moment right in front of me.'"

"I suggest we put an award for 'Best Subway Smile of the Year,' it's more heartwarming than any advertisement!"

Grandma: I'm missing teeth, but some people lack this kind of patience.

There are the most heartwarming smiles, and the most healing smiles.

Pet blogger @DogLifeWinner posted a video that will instantly melt your heart:
A golden retriever, carrying a tattered teddy bear in its mouth, darted towards its owner, who had just come home from get off work, like a golden cannonball.

The owner suddenly fell to the ground as if playing a prank. The golden retriever braked sharply, the teddy bear fell to the ground with a "thud," and the whole dog rushed over in a panic—its fluffy head desperately nuzzling against its owner's face, its ears flapping like little wings, its mouth almost reaching the back of its head, and its big pink tongue panting like an out-of-control windshield wiper.

The blogger's caption was a high-energy rant: "Based on my personal experience as an office worker, this dog's smile can cure all kinds of dissatisfaction—it cures low blood pressure (watching it run wildly will instantly raise your heart rate to 120), it cures emo (if its tongue is smeared in your face, what's with the emo?), and it cures clients (I suggest playing this video on a loop in the meeting room of your partners; it's ten times more effective than begging for revisions).

The furry friend's silly smile instantly healed countless netizens.

"This dog's smile is 'healing to the point of being an occupational injury'—"

Healing effect: Five stars!

Side effect: The tail wagging creates afterimages that sweep away surrounding objects; the fun is free, but dog hair flies everywhere, so you'll need a vacuum cleaner.

"It is most urgent to include it in the medical insurance program."

Registration fee: One sausage (imported beef flavor, 50% reimbursement)

Treatment: Three times a day, each time for 10 minutes after being tackled by the dog (be careful to avoid getting your face spitted on).

"No comparison, no harm!"

My cat's cold smile when he looks at me.jpg

His eyes were filled with disdain, as if 'this two-legged creature can't even open a can properly'!

Its tail tip flicked impatiently, as if to say, "You're just a waste of cat food."

Golden Retriever: My smile is worth a million!
Actual cost: 2 bags of dog food per month + 3000 yuan for damage to the house (but the owner said the emotional value is incalculable)

"While humans are still paying for 'fake smile training courses,' dogs have already mastered the 'head tilt and tongue sticking out killer move'—natural and unpretentious, all thanks to talent!" If the previous ones all belonged to the category of genuine smiles, then what follows belongs to the category of fake smiles.

A bank teller posted a CCTV video:
In the video, an elderly man stands in front of the counter, insisting on withdrawing 200 million yuan in cash. The bank teller smiles throughout and asks why he wants to withdraw so much money.
The old man stated matter-of-factly: "I'm buying breakfast."

The young female clerk's lips twitched slightly, but she still maintained a standard eight-tooth professional smile.

The video caption reads: "The consecutive banknotes you requested are being transferred from the head office. We suggest you try the 6-yuan jianbing guozi next door first (professional smile)."

After the video quickly went viral, one netizen's comment became the top comment: "This clerk's smile deserves full marks! Three points are the politeness of a 'professional fake smile,' three points are the restraint of an 'inner breakdown,' and the remaining four points are all about 'Sir, do you have some misunderstanding about breakfast prices?'"

However, the comments below went in all directions.

"That kind of professional smile is actually the most hurtful. I remember last time I went to withdraw money, I was asked a dozen questions, and the person in question had a professional smile the whole time. Their attitude was so professional. I was so angry inside, but I had nowhere to vent my anger!"

One netizen shared their experience: "Last month, I went to the bank to withdraw 30 yuan in cash. The teller smiled throughout, but asked more detailed questions than if they were checking my household registration—'What is the purpose of the withdrawal?' 'Do you know the recipient?' 'Are you considering investing?'"

I explained that I needed to pay for renovations, and she immediately called over the manager, saying something like, "Large cash withdrawals require prior appointments." I was so angry that I blurted out, "Then I'll just transfer all the money to the head office of the bank next door," but the manager, still smiling, replied, "Okay, sir, but cross-bank transfers also require information verification."

Someone immediately chimed in: "I know this bank's tricks all too well! When you withdraw money, they treat you like a suspect, but when you deposit, they treat you like royalty. Last time I saw the teller smiling while secretly pressing the alarm button—she's more skilled at it than my wife hiding her secret stash of money!"

What's even more disheartening are the comparison jokes from netizens: "Buying breakfast with 200 million? Even screenwriters wouldn't dare write that! In reality, if you withdraw more than 5, you start going through an 'anti-fraud assembly line'—first, they smile and ask, then they secretly scrutinize you, and finally the supervisor comes out to play the good cop and say 'for the safety of your funds.' If you don't know better, you'll think you're withdrawing money, but if you don't, you'll think you're untying a bomb!"

Some people even mimicked classic bank sales pitches: "We're not preventing you from withdrawing money (smile), we just suggest you consider electronic payments (smile). Of course, if you insist on cash, we'll fully cooperate (smile). But for large withdrawals, you need to make an appointment in advance (death smile)."

The most amazing thing is that a netizen posted a chat log: he complained to his friend about the difficulty of withdrawing money, and his friend replied instantly: "Be grateful! Now even scammers have to get past the 'smiling interrogation' hurdle before they can withdraw money. You've got VIP-level anti-fraud service!"

Furthermore, don't be hostile towards the teller; they're just following procedures! If your money is stolen from her, do you really think a temporary worker can solve the problem? You might lose money, but she'll lose her job!

Soon after, a former bank teller appeared to give his account.

"As a former bank teller, I want to say that we also want to serve the public better and faster, but there's nothing we can do. The procedures are fixed. It's not that the bank doesn't want you to withdraw money, nor is it that we tellers don't allow it. After all, that money isn't ours. But just like when you're working, you have to be responsible for any money you handle and any signatures you make. Why am I a former bank employee? Because someone transferred money through me, but I didn't follow the procedures, and in the end, the other person was scammed. So, he lost his money, and I lost my job!"

Compared to this, another related topic resonated with even more people.

Simply because this topic is the ugliest laugh!

A fake smile from the soul of a corporate slave!
Programmer @BaldWarrior posted a poignant yet comical photo from a company's annual party on Weibo: In the picture, he forces a smile, his lips stiffly curving into a bizarre "√" shape, his eye bags so swollen they could trap a mosquito, and a yellow sticky note that reads "BUG Begone" is stuck under his eyes. In the background, the bright red subtitles on the electronic screen are particularly glaring: "Company net profit to double by 2025!"

The caption is a veritable history of the blood and tears of modern office workers: "The smile in the graduation photo ten years ago was like the morning sun, but now the fake smile at the company's annual party looks like a patient being resuscitated by electroshock therapy."

This Weibo post instantly resonated with the programmer community, and the comment section quickly turned into a real-life rant session:

The top-rated comment was shared by a netizen who posted an even more brutal "professional fake smile assessment form": "Your company's smile difficulty is only three stars. Our bank requires 'showing eight teeth but not gums.' Last week, I practiced until I had facial nerve spasms. When I was taken away by ambulance, I was still twitching and saying 'Welcome.' to the paramedics."

A screenshot of a comment that received 5 likes in a WeChat group chat shows a leader posting inspirational quotes like "Smiles should come from the heart," with the group members replying in neat rows of "Received." However, in private chats, the group is flooded with messages like "My heart is filled with resignation letters and labor arbitration templates."

The most hurtful suggestion came from a netizen: "I suggest holding a 'Professional Fake Smile Olympics,' with bank tellers versus programmers versus customer service representatives. The rules are simple—whoever laughs until they cry first loses, and the prize is a paid day off. However, as usual, the prize will be a 'thank you card handwritten by the boss.'"

Some unscrupulous netizens even photoshopped an electrocardiogram onto the photo: the fluctuation curve of the fake smile was exactly the same as that of a monitor in an emergency room, with the caption "Smile Survival Index of Modern Office Workers".

Some people turned the photos into "smile thermometer" emojis: from the "100℃ scorching" graduation photos to the "-273℃ absolute zero" annual party photos.

Of course, it's not just this kind of helplessness; there's also the most unexpected kind of laughter—laughing and then crying!
A netizen, @人生如戏, uploaded a video of a wedding, capturing a deeply touching moment of interaction between a father and daughter:

During the father's speech at the wedding, the bride's father, dressed in a sharp suit, smiled and said into the microphone, "My daughter has always been a mischievous little monkey."

He had just started speaking when his voice suddenly trembled.

The usually serious middle-aged man suddenly turned around, wiped his face haphazardly with the back of his hand, and smeared his tears and snot all over the cuffs of his custom-made suit.

The camera cuts to the bride—who was originally wearing exquisite makeup and covering her mouth to laugh, but when she sees her father suddenly break down, her mascara instantly smudges into panda eyes. She tries desperately to keep smiling, but her lips twitch, eventually turning into a crumpled "crying-laughing emoji" with a snot bubble effect.

The caption joked: "I promised myself I'd smile beautifully during rehearsals, but I ended up creating a classic meme: #WeddingFailure#".

The comment section exploded instantly.

"This father's acting deserves a negative score! What happened to the tough guy image? Wiping tears from his sleeve is so realistic, hahaha!"

"I recognize that expression on the bride's face! It's like when she was a kid and fell down, afraid of getting scolded, so she cried while forcing a smile!"

"Give the photographer a bonus! He captured the bride's dramatic 0.5-second facial expression shift from 'hahaha' to 'woohoo'!"

"It turns out that even the most expensive makeup can't withstand a father's tear-jerking act. This is the ultimate weapon of fatherly love!"

The video also has a surprise in the last few seconds – the bride's mother, sitting at the main table, is laughing and wiping away tears, and half of her false eyelashes fall off and hang on her face, creating a perfect real-life version of "laughing while crying.jpg".

The emcee quickly intervened, saying, "Let's give a round of applause to this loving family!"

The guests laughed so loudly that it completely drowned out the applause.

As the initiator of the event, Chen Mo also participated.

Yes, the victim is Yang Mi!

The main problem is that this woman is completely different in private and in front of the camera.

Chen Mo released a 4K restored slow-motion video of Yang Mi forcing a smile when a goat licked her feet on a TV show years ago. The slow-motion video freezes the moment her mouth twitches, making her look like she's acting in a "smiling horror movie".

The caption reads: "Yang Mi's fake smile ten years ago vs. the genuine laughter I see in the comments now!"

Therefore: "Your smile won't disappear; it will simply move from your face to the comments section of netizens." (End of Chapter)
