The meme means “lend me 50 RMB to go to KFC”. This meme-like sentence corresponds to KFC's Crazy Thursday event held every Thursday in China, where some of the products are sold at very low prices that day, and people can  enjoy a very good meal for just around about 50 RMB.

Over time, the event went viral in China and became a meme template on Chinese social media, and this is also why a lot of Chinese gaming companies have recently partnered with KFC.
