People: "Fuck landlords!"
Manhua artists: "Hmmm...yes!"

Me, a well-meaning leftist who hates landlords as a principal: "But what if they were like...super hot?"

Wow, very impressive art style. Premise is not bad either. Has potential.

...girl didn't Mao end this people what are landlords doing there?

So, there were these economic reforms in 1979, led by Deng Xiaoping, that allowed for more private action and inequality and also led to massive economic growth compared to Mao's famines...

Oh for the days of yore when we didn't have landlords, we could sing songs of the great revolutionary hero's as we farmed in the fields living on bugs as we starved to death.
But at least we didn't have landlords.

Huang Qi is a really touchy-feely person. This surprised me because I'm sure it isn't the norm in Asia, at all. Girls don't touch each other so freely and easily. Even less the adults!

Wonderful story and sexy characters, just my thing. And lovely art too. But is it going to be this same release rate from now on - I mean a chapter every nine months? O_o

Might be slightly faster but long regardless. It's a personal project, I think. Not a set release date. Plus they kept making adjustments and they do other work.

It's a little known fact, though, that despite some serious mistakes, the average economic growth through the Mao years was actually about the same as the later years. It's just, they started from such incredible rock bottom before the revolution that by the end of Mao it had just taken them from "everyone freakin' starving and bandits everywhere" to "poor".
Consider--for decades China had been going through invasions, extortion, Britain addicting everyone to opium, civil wars, more invasion, the near collapse of the central government . . . when the Communists took over they must have looked around at what they were now in charge of and said "Well, damn."

A) caveat of trusting Communist GDP numbers, when there are many embedded incentives to lie

B) The "serious mistakes" include contraction of -27% in 1961, and the bigger loss of tens of millions of people starving to death

Apart from that, it's true that you could eyeball this graph https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG?locations=CN and conclude that the post-Leap average growth was the same. OTOH, it gets a lot smoother and more reliable after Deng's market-oriented reforms in 1979.

And some of the reforms started before 1979:

'In agrarian policy, the failures of food supply during the Great Leap were met by a gradual de-collectivization in the 1960s that foreshadowed further de-collectivization under Deng Xiaoping. Political scientist Meredith Jung-En Woo argues: "Unquestionably the regime failed to respond in time to save the lives of millions of peasants, but when it did respond, it ultimately transformed the livelihoods of several hundred million peasants (modestly in the early 1960s, but permanently after Deng Xiaoping's reforms subsequent to 1978)."'

And OTOH, a differently sourced graph shows post-reform GDP growth being much higher than before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_GDP_of_China#/media/File:China's_real_GDP_growth_by_decade.svg

I was about to tell rainbow8 that there never was a de-collectivization in China, still a communist country with a parastatal sector that acts as private business, and that he shouldn't trust all that anti-PRC propaganda he quotes... but you're right. Let's leave him to the mods and go back to squeeing about sweet and wonderful Chinese bǎihé.

Very true. That said, those incentives did not disappear upon Mao's death. For that matter, all countries have similar incentives. Not like capitalism makes governments dedicated truth-tellers.

But anyway . . . that artist lady is really finding herself DRAWN to her new tenant, eh?
