Chinese tourist-site performer portraying poet Li Bai offers advice to burned-out visitors
A young Chinese man is reviving China’s most famous poet Li Bai at a tourist site, and has become millions of visitors’ emotional outlet for burnout. Wang Haonan, 24, amasses more than a million followers online after he went viral playing the role of Li Bai at Hetou Old Street, a Tang dynasty-themed tourist district in Tangshan in northern China’s Hebei province. The Tang dynasty (618–907) is recognised as the golden age of Chinese poetry, and Li Bai (c. 701–762) is widely honoured as the most.
