Cai Ming's comedy path has not been easy, and she has also suffered various controversies and criticisms.

Causes of controversy
In the 2020 Spring Festival Gala, Cai Ming did not appear in the audience's field of vision, which surprised and disappointed many people. It turned out that Cai Ming took the initiative to give up the opportunity to perform in the Spring Festival Gala because of health problems and the impact of the death of his relatives.
She posted on Weibo to explain the reason and expressed her blessings and gratitude to the Spring Festival Gala. However, this did not quell the doubts and dissatisfaction of netizens, some people thought that she was making excuses for her exit, some people thought that she was looking for a scapegoat for the downturn of the Spring Festival Gala, and some even directly shouted the slogan "Cai Ming get out of the Spring Festival Gala".
