Chao, a beautiful young Shanghainese girl, recorded her few days in Guizhou using a comic book approach. The sketching in black and white are vivid, full of energy and emotion. 


Observing the surroundings in her host's bedroom, a faded picture of Chairman Mao pinned next to Taiwan's heartthrob Jay Chou, expired medicine and a rusty mirror, Chao wrote "It is combination of out-dated fashion and tacky modernity. It is very hard to say whether it is local culture or local poverty."
