        「笑」 is read as “xiào” in Standard Chinese, but 「草」 is read as “cǎo”, not “hua”. The characters mean “laughter” and “grass” respectively.

        In Japanese the characters would be read as “wara” and “kusa” in this context. They’re basically just the equivalents to “lol” and “lmao” in that language. The backstory behind “kusa” in particular is pretty funny.

          Thanks. Yeah, I ended up looking out up and I was confused because it was either grass, but also fuck.

          I didn’t even consider the Japanese meaning, lol.

            TIL 草 is Chinese internet slang for “fuck”

    Obligatory reminder that Japan delegation was invited to the Soviet celebration of the victory over Japan’s own allies 24.06.1945. Here are some pictures, especially the bottom one is fun, you can see Japanese delegate congratulating Zhukov while French, Brits and Usians wait for their turn:
