The Good China Story, by Li Zu Chi

Li represents another version of the Disney-esque exotic Orient, a Cinderella of the East. In China, she embodies a romanticized and timeless past unburdened by history. She's creating this utopian idea of the countryside if we could ignore industrialization,. Maoism and the Great Leap Forward, opening up and reform the countryside brain drain. Li Zu Chi disappeared from online life in July; her assistant made a cryptic post on Weibo to address her silence.
