Where does the “Jia Junpeng, Come Home for Dinner!” meme come from?

The meme originated on July 16, 2009, on the Baidu Tieba forum dedicated to World of Warcraft. An anonymous user posted a thread titled “Jia Junpeng, your mother calls you to come home and eat.” The post content was just “RT,” meaning “read the title.” This simplicity triggered a massive chain reaction: tens of thousands of replies appeared within hours, reaching hundreds of thousands of views. Netizens created a fictional character, Jia Junpeng, and invented a story around his waiting mother. Some accounts even replied as the protagonist, claiming to stay at an internet cafe, though their authenticity was questionable as they were created after the initial post. No traditional media or public figures were involved; it was a purely community-driven and anonymous creation.
