Xu Dongdong’s Halloween Cosplay Brings Joy and Excitement to Shanghai Celebrations

In the midst of the colorful celebrations that filled Shanghai streets during the recent Halloween festivities, there was one cosplay that caught everyone's attention - that of Xu Dongdong. The late arrival of Xu's anticipated Halloween costume brought a wave of laughter and excitement among netizens on Chinese social media platform Weibo.

The buzz around Xu Dongdong's cosplay began with a humorous post that read "Hahahahaha, Halloween cosplay XU Dongdong is late but it's here! When the coconut juice comes out, it will definitely win mud, right?" (Note: The term "coconut juice" is likely a metaphor for something successful or superior.) This post set the tone for a series of reactions from netizens, all of whom seemed to be eagerly awaiting Xu Dongdong's appearance.

Social media users were quick to share their thoughts and responses to Xu Dongdong's cosplay on Weibo. Some used it as an opportunity to express their admiration for the influencer. "Nothing can be imitated except you, but nobody can imitate the appearance of big sister. How many people's goddess is Su Yilu's weibo video" wrote one enthusiastic user. Others posted reminiscent comments about previous cosplay videos by Xu Dongdong, such as "Which TV shows have you watched by Big Sister?" and "This body shock moment is Xu Dongdong, it's just too cool and spicy, who else? Wu Guichi weibo video."

However, not all the reactions to Xu Dongdong's cosplay were positive. Some netizens expressed frustration with China's lack of unique holidays and traditions. One user posted a series of captions that read, "During the Qingming Festival, do not worship ancestors; at Halloween, dress up as ghosts and devils! No vacation on New Year's Eve, shouting for Western holidays to be incorporated into Chinese culture. A series of operations show that they are obsessed with foreigners and dishonorable." This sentiment was echoed by others who lamented about the cultural impact of Halloween and other Western celebrations on Chinese traditions.

Despite these criticisms, it seems that Xu Dongdong's cosplay managed to bring a sense of joy and excitement to many Chinese netizens during their Halloween celebrations. One user shared an image with the caption "Shanghai-style Halloween seems more interesting," while another remarked, "The Halloween in Shanghai is so joyful. Hahaha, the world really needs this much joy!!". There were also those who appreciated Xu Dongdong's unique pose and humor, leading to comments such as "Xu Dongdong's pose is really particularly classic, making me laugh" and "Haha haha classic."

In the end, the anticipation and excitement surrounding Xu Dongdong's Halloween cosplay proved to be a significant part of Shanghai's festivities. It brought people together, sparked conversations about cultural traditions, and even managed to elicit some positive reactions from netizens on Weibo. As one user wisely pointed out, "Anticipation is the root of all heartache. The most reasonable expectations for life are not to have any expectations." This sentiment seems fitting for both Xu Dongdong's cosplay and the broader Halloween celebrations - whether you embraced it or had mixed feelings about its influence, there was no denying that it brought a sense of joy and excitement
