On March 1, 2025, actress Yang Zi accidentally became popular after posting a 10-second dance video on social media platforms. Wearing a black bow top and jeans, she mimicked South Korean star Lee Hsi Seung's dance “Bills” with slightly stiff movements. Netizens dubbed it “Lee Hsi Seung's march”, and with the “Once Upon a Time” soundtrack, it presented a comedic effect of “awkwardness and headiness”. Yang Zi at the end of the video clasped her fists and apologized, “I'm sorry everyone,” but triggered a wave of parodies across the network, the number of plays quickly exceeded 1 billion times.

This dance is used by local culture and tourism departments to promote local tourism, nearly 100 culture and tourism accounts across the country to join the secondary creation, covering more than ten provincial administrative regions. For example, Zhejiang Literature and Tourism combined with the “thousand years waiting for a time” to show the West Lake scenery, Chongqing Literature and Tourism into the local nursery rhymes, Beijing Literature and Tourism to “dong dong dong dong” rhythm call for tourists, and Tibet Literature and Tourism will be the dance steps and plateau scenery seamless integration. Netizens teased Yang Zi “one day dance tour of the country”, and even jokingly said that she “with their own strength to complete the KPIs of cultural tourism around the world”.
