Sounds like some people have some emotional damage…

Uncle Rogers favourite Chinese chef

Imagine not being able to cook a dish, because someone gets upset about someone cooking it in the past, and stuffing up in wartime. That’s just nuts. Especially if they believe the story is false. Talk about social paranoia.

… bit of the official line is that man’s son wasn’t making fried rice, then how can chef guy be disrespecting him?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

A Chinese celebrity chef has apologised after he was accused of insulting the memory of Mao Zedong’s son by posting a video about how to cook egg fried rice.

“As a chef, I will never make fried rice again,” Wang said in his apology on Monday after taking down the video.

Mao Anying, a Chinese military officer, was killed by US bombers on 25 November 1950 during the Korean war.

A persistent but frequently denied rumour says he was trying to cook egg fried rice instead of taking shelter, and the smoke from the fire exposed his position to enemy forces.

The Chinese Academy of History has said the claim about Mao Anying is a “most vicious rumour”, but the story remains popular.

The rumour – and references to egg fried rice – are now a taboo topic in China’s highly sensitive and controlled political environment.
