Zhang Xue, founder of Zhang's Motorcycle, announced on October 30 that he has blocked his mother from communication, following her repeated cooperation with commercial institutions to promote his personal influence after his championship victory. Zhang Xue, who was raised by his grandparents since his early years due to his parents' divorce, expressed extreme disdain for institutions or individuals attempting to exploit his mother as a "traffic entrance." He also stated that he would "cut off" all those who consume his resources without his consent. Zhang Xue's mother, He Qiong, graduated from the Chinese Language Department of Xiamen University through an open education program. She had worked as a writer and magazine editor, serving as the editor of Fujian Youth Knowers and the president of the Faraway Poetry Society, spending most of her time in Fuzhou. Early news suggested that Zhang Xue's parents separated when he was young, causing his mother to leave home for Hainan and Fujian to work while studying at night, eventually earning a degree and focusing on literary work. Zhang Xue's siblings grew up with their grandparents. He Qiong has occasionally provided substantial financial support to Zhang Xue during crucial moments in his life. When Zhang Xue was involved in a traffic accident as a youth, He Qiong took responsibility for the compensation without reproach. In 2016, when Zhang Xue prepared to start his venture, He Qiong mortgaged her only home in Fuzhou, securing a loan of 550,000 RMB to support his business, stating that "the money is not to be repaid." In her husband's debt list, a 550,000 RMB loan from her mother was also recorded. The event sparked extensive online discussion, with users sharply divided in their views. Some questioned He Qiong's absence during Zhang Xue's childhood and her frequent interviews now as an attempt to benefit from his fame at the expense of his son. However, others argued that her willingness to mortgage her home to support him during his career lowpoints demonstrated her love and support, albeit with a different approach to communication.

Public opinion on the matter divided sharply, reflecting different perspectives on the balance between privacy and public recognition. Critics highlighted how He Qiong contributed to public content production, potentially exploiting her son's success for personal gain. However, supporters celebrated He Qiong's significant financial backing during Zhang Xue's challenging periods, suggesting that her intentions were rooted in a deep sense of maternal support rather than merely leveraging his success. This controversial move underscores the complexities in managing the public visibility of a rising star and the challenges of intergenerational communication.
