Hong Meiling, everybody's favourite guard of the SDM, since her debut in Touhou 6 she has been seen as an overall silly character. But what if I told you this character has secret depths nobody knows about. That's right, Hong Meiling is a traitor to the American Dream, she's:
A COMMUNIST
Now you may be wondering:
"What? How can the lovevable and private ownership loving Meiling, be a commie?"
Well, after a series of deepdives into Meiling I have found and compiled here all the reasons why Hong Meiling is a communist.
1. Her Name
The characters for her name 紅 美鈴 just screams out communism. First 紅(Hong) which means red in Chinese, I don't even need to elaborate the connections between red and communism. Plus her name being literally Red and her being a guard forms 'Red Guard' a Chinese student revolutionary force (more elaboration on it later)
Second,美鈴(MeiLing) which means Beautiful Chime in Chinese
ZUN thought he could hide this blatant reference to Olomouc's Communist Clock located in Czechia.
If you take all the number of letters in Hong Meiling's name (including the space in between, duh) you get 12 letters and what was Olomouc's Communist Clock known for?
It was known for its noon(12) event where 12 CHIMES are hammered out by little COMMUNISTS. I literally don't know what to tell you, the connection is right there in your face.
2. Design
This is one of the most well known analogies that are made between MeiLing and communism.
Her green dress is inspired by the design of the Red Guard and if you squint your eyes, her clothes look olive green, just like the military uniforms used by the communist revolutionaries in Cuba. Her red hair obviously very Communist. Even her famous green beret is a clear symbol for her love of the communist doctrine and it's leaders. Clearly, MeiLing wears a green beret with a star symbol in honor of her idol, Che Guevara who also wore a green beret with a star(he's communist by the way).
3. Personality
MeiLing has been consistently shown to be prideful of her country China in every aspect (including communism).
Have you seen Hong Meiling with private property or supporting capitalist views?
I think that with this post i have proven Meiling's love for communism.
You're welcome to fight me, but you'll be wrong.
Meiling is commie
