Ding Zhen has become popular in China because of his appearance, and it has caused debates on whether simply having a pair of "innocent eyes" should earn a person such fame and success. Therefore, some critics of Ding Zhen on Tieba use the word "Yiyan Zhen" to make sarcastic remarks about Ding Zhen. Combining him with "Yiyan Zhen" gives rise to the meme "Yiyan Ding Zhen".
