From the name of the main character in Lu Xun's novella The True Story of Ah Q (《阿Q正傳》/《阿Q正传》) who believes his defeats are victories.
In the story, it was stated that the original pronunciation of the character's name was "Quei", which should be written as "Guì" in modern Pinyin, but was shortened to "Q" because the protagonist did not know with which character his name should be written (possibly 貴 /贵 or 桂 in context of given names).

lang

《阿Q正傳》/《阿Q正传》

《阿Q正傳》/《阿Q正传》

Whatever Ah Q thought he was sure to tell people later; thus almost all who made fun of Ah Q knew that he had this means of winning a psychological victory.

魯迅 Lu Xun, 《阿Q正傳》 The True Story of Ah Q, 1921; translation by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang.

阿Q想在心裏的，後來每每說出口來，所以凡是和阿Q玩笑的人們，幾乎全知道他有這一種精神上的勝利法。

You must not have a hasty, crowd-pleasing, "Krikun"-style attitude, but you ought to do your work with a responsible, prudent and solemn attitude.

1948, 刘少奇, 对华北记者团的谈话

你们不能采取轻率的、哗众取宠的、“客里空”式的态度，而应当采取负责的、谨慎的、严肃的态度去做工作。

"Krikun" has been an absolute taboo in news reporting; the news agencies, the persons involved in the story and the audience all abhor fake news reports.

藍藍路

/län³⁵ län³⁵ lu⁵¹/

From and popularized by the Chinese title, “最终鬼畜蓝蓝路” (“Final Demon Ran-Ran-Rū”), of a Japanese parody video, 「M.C.ドナルドはダンスに夢中なのか？最終鬼畜道化師ドナルド・Ｍ」 (“M.C. Donald Was Obsessed with Dance? Final Demon Clown Ronald M.”), whereby this phrase, ran-ran-rū (“らんらんるー”), and a number of other meaningless noises are excessively repeated and arranged into the tune of 「U.N.オーエンは彼女なのか」 (“U.N. Owen Was Her?”), a piece of background music from the Touhou Project, for parodic effect.
The original quote where this phrase was from is the follows: 「ランランルー！ドナルドは嬉しくなると、ついやっちゃうんだ！みんなも一緒にやってみようよ、いくよ！ランランルー」 ("Ran-ran-rū! Whenever Ronald McDonald gets happy he can't help but moves like this! Everybody let's try it together, come on! Ran-ran-rū!")
