Mengxin, I would like to ask what is the meaning of salted fish?

The meaning of this meme:

"Salted fish" refers to the way ordinary people often laugh at themselves for their mediocre life journey.

The source of this meme:

From Stephen Chow's "Lord of Destruction", Uncle Da said to Master Xing: "If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?" Gradually, self-deprecating sentence patterns were derived, implying that he was just a salted fish without dreams.

Usage of this meme:

Salted fish is often used to describe those people whose lives are ordinary, mediocre, have no great achievements, and are even boring. People who are unable to achieve great success or fame and laugh at themselves are also aware of their own mediocrity. I hope to be able to change myself, and look forward to one day being able to turn around. Salted fish may not always be salted fish, and there will also be opportunities to turn around.
