origin
The earliest origin of picking up soap is the 1994 American nonsensical film "The White-Headed Detective 3". The film tells that he pretended to be a prisoner and went to prison, gained the trust of terrorists and escaped together, and finally solved the crisis by mistake. One of them is that when he first entered the prison, the old man in the prison threw soap for him to pick it up, and found it when he was about to raid him.
Then came the American drama "Prison", formerly known as "OZ". The movie became famous for its famous violence and "if a prisoner bends over to pick up soap, he will be blown away". There are also related advertisements for picking up soap, and the famous animation Crayon Shin-chan also has related descriptions.
Picking up soap has long been a legend in the story of the Taiwan military camp. In 2010, the US military changed its policy to allow homosexuals to serve unconditionally, and the Taiwan military also began to acquiesce to homosexuality. Before enlisting in the army, recruits were told by their seniors to "don't bend over to pick soap" when taking a bath. After the media reports, the word began to enter everyone's field of vision.
According to the report, it has long been an open secret that Taiwanese troops are gay. Professional soldiers know more or less about the seniors and juniors in the same period or the next year, whose sexual orientation is "different from everyone else"; as for recruits, before enlisting in the army, they will be told by seniors to "don't bend over to pick up soap" when taking a bath.
The open-style bathhouse in the new training center is the most dangerous place. Everyone is naked, and it is both water and foam. If soap must be picked, it is best to squat down to pick it, otherwise the consequences of bending over may be unimaginable. When the lower troops were assigned to the bathroom with a door, the soldiers all developed the habit of "must lock the door" and "keep a healthy life".
Due to the popularity of various soap-picking animation pictures and related comics on Weibo, "picking up soap" has gradually become well known to everyone.

Type porous trophy. I was so stubborn that I stuck a finger in a hole and couldn't get it out on the podium for a long time. It was live on TV, so I had to hang up the trophy and shake hands with the presenters, and I almost ended up using soap. When I woke up today, I suddenly understood that the meaning of all this turned out to be: Big V, don't interfere, be careful not to get out, and finally let you pick up the soap.
