From Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan's essay "The Hour Worker" in 2000: "Don't think that you don't know you when you wear a vest."

This mediocre work, which was originally lost in jokes, became the mantra of many people with the actions of Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan on the stage.

Another way of saying it is that the word vest comes from the red vest worn by traders in the stock exchange. Because most traders serve other major shareholders, that is, they are trading puppets of shareholders, vest was later used to describe the ID of the avatar on the forum.
