13-1-6 – 1

Artist: Rebel Pepper A proud rooster, defying his encroaching enemy, stands tall on a rock inscribed with the words “Southern Weekly.” Rebel Pepper explains his cartoon: “The vampires hopelessly strangle one rooster after another, just to stave off the coming of the dawn.” This cartoon draws inspiration from the investigative work of Shen Yachuan, who made his name uncovering the assassination of a whistle-blowing schoolteacher. On the 10-year anniversary of Shen’s triumph last April, @ShenzhenLaocui said, “Even if you kill every last rooster, the sun will still rise!”
