This young tourist is a college student from Zhengzhou, Henan.  Ku Ke （库珂）is studying to be a broadcasting host at Huanghe Science and Technology College, a private institution.  She was on vacation for a week in Beijing with one of her friends.  Most of her time was spent around Nanluoguxiang and Houhai.

When Plastered tee-shirts first opened shop on Nanluoguxiang, I thought it would appeal mainly to foreign tourists looking for a hip gift.  In fact,  I directed several of my guests to the shop.  The appeal that the brand, started by a Brit about two years ago, has had for Chinese tourists and locals is quite impressive.  I have seen the shirts incorporated into very fashionable ensembles at at parties all over town.

So was it Mao that said “women can be heroes too” （女人也能当英雄）？
