該事件發生當日11點，梁相宜在全國兩會記者提問環節與全美電視臺臺長張慧君同時舉手提問，着紅衣張慧君獲得了提問機會。但由她問題描述冗長不清，梁相宜忍不住接連翻了多個白眼，表示自己對張慧君不滿。全過程被中國中央電視臺直播，12點該消息傳遍中國互聯網。社交媒體流傳微信聊天記錄截圖顯示，梁相宜在得知自己翻白眼被直播後，對朋友說：“你愁（瞅）她那德行，問問題比回答的還多。”又二人當時衣着恰好一紅一藍，對比因此成爲了網絡熱點，有關兩人文章在各種網媒，尤其微信公衆號上層出不窮。《環球時報》總編輯胡錫進發微博說：“第一財經女記者梁相宜火了。她對旁邊提冗長問題的記者翻白眼，被電視直播了出來，笑翻網民。希望這樣的花絮能在網上留的住，別被刪掉。老百姓就是喜歡這種東西，人性的這種DNA改不了。黨員幹部要隨時講政治，但普通人不必。普通人看政治的視角也喜歡花絮化，但這無傷大雅。”然而言論之後急速收緊，16時起，“藍衣記者”已經成爲新浪微博敏感詞，不可進行搜索，胡錫進所發微博也遭審查人員刪除。
At 11 o'clock on the day of the incident, Liang Xiangyi raised his hand to ask questions at the same time as Zhang Huijun, the director of the National Television Station, in the question session of reporters at the National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, and Zhang Huijun, who was dressed in red, was given the opportunity to ask questions. But from the long and unclear description of her problem, Liang Xiangyi couldn't help but roll her eyes many times one after another, expressing her dissatisfaction with Zhang Huijun. The whole process was broadcast live by China Central Television, and at 12 o'clock the news spread throughout the Chinese Internet. Screenshots of WeChat chat records circulating on social media show that Liang Xiangyi said to a friend after learning that she rolled her eyes and was broadcast live: "Worry about her virtue, ask more questions than answers." The two of them happened to be dressed in red and blue at the time, and the comparison became a hot topic on the Internet, and articles about the two appeared in various online media, especially on WeChat public accounts. Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Global Times, posted on Weibo and said: Lin Yicai, a female reporter from the first financial network, Liang Xiangyi is on fire. She rolled her eyes at the reporter next to her who asked a lengthy question, and was broadcast live on TV, laughing at netizens. I hope that such tidbits can stay on the Internet and not be deleted. Ordinary people just like this kind of thing, and this DNA of human nature can't be changed. Party members and cadres should talk about politics at any time, but ordinary people don't. Ordinary people also like to look at the perspective of politics, but it doesn't hurt. Lin However, after his remarks, he quickly tightened up, and from 16 o'clock, a wisp of blue-clad reporter's anger had become a sensitive word on Sina Weibo, which could not be searched, and Hu Xijin's Weibo was also deleted by censors.
