Saturday, March 10, 8 pm | 60 RMB
Despite its massive population and ubiquitous “hair salons,” sex remains a largely taboo subject in China. Even writing about it can prove sensitive for some, with women, in particular, risking backlash from prudish readers and conservative authorities simply for discussing their sex lives. In this lively panel, we examine why and how writers write about sex, and discuss issues surrounding sexuality in China, from harassment to homosexuality, polyamory to prostitution. Moderated by Robert Foyle Hunwick, in conversation with Zhang Lijia, Evangeline Zhang and James Palmer. In association with SupChina.
Lijia Zhang is a factory-worker-turned writer, social
commentator and public speaker. Her articles have appeared in The Guardian, The South China Morning Post, Newsweek and The New York Times. She is the
author of the critically acclaimed memoir Socialism
Is Great!, about her rocket factory experience, and the novel Lotus, about prostitution in
contemporary China. She is the recipient of a prestigious fellowship in the
International Writer’s Program at the University of Iowa.
Evangeline Zhang/ 玖姑 is a feminist activist and social innovator. She founded a program called
“女力:Femployee” which interviews females about
their experiences of being the minority in male-dominated
industries, such as rap, comedy, racing, and gourmet cooking. Inspired by
these interviews, Evangeline pursued her
own goals of using stand-up comedy and rapping to promote feminism via
performance. In 2017, she produced a Chinese rap MV called “Our
Vagina, Ourselves”, which received 218K views on Facebook.
She appeared in local English open mics regularly in Beijing as the only native
Chinese female to discuss gender inequality and white supremacy.
James Palmer is
the Asia editor at Foreign Policy,
which he joined in the winter of 2016. He was born in Manchester, U.K., and
educated at Cambridge, before moving to Korea in 2002 and then China in 2003.
He won the Shiva Naipaul Memorial Prize for travel writing in 2003, for his
work on South Korea. He has written two books — The Bloody White Baron and Heaven
Cracks, Earth Shakes — and is working on a third.

Hunwick is a writer and media consultant in Beijing who has written for a wide
