    Abstract

    Han Han, the handsome 28-year-old race car driver, bestselling novelist, publisher, singer and Chinas most popular blogger, has never been known for delicate restraint. Articles such as The Literary Scene is One Big Fart: Cut the Pretentiousness and Why Do Modern Chinese Poetry and Poets Even Exist?, as well as speeches such as the one to university students into which he dropped Samuel Johnsons quotation Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, have won Han Han cult status as a cultural provocateur.
