The “we” that Ah Tao is talking about are gay men on the island, like him. With the aim of understanding the life of the LGBT community in Hainan, I asked Ah Tao to be my guide. Unlike big cities in China such as Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, the LGBT community in the island located on the southern coast of the mainland 30 km is not really well received, has to live a closed life and hide its bias. sexual orientation towards society. Unlike in Beijing or Shanghai, the LGBT community in Hainan province still faces many prejudices and is not accepted by society. Photo: The Beijinger. Hide your identity 11 years ago, I spent 12 months learning Chinese in Hainan and interacting with the local LGBT community. From that experience, for the past 8 years, I have started researching the lives of gay, bisexual and transgender people in this low-economic and culturally low-value locality. In the past few years, the government has made a lot of efforts to promote tourism in Hainan, but there has not been the same level of investment in other coastal areas. Ah Tao led me out of the square, through an empty market, and into a dark alley. “When you go there, don’t mention homosexuality or heterosexuality,” he warned carefully. Most have to hide their identities to be able to integrate into the community and continue to lead normal lives. Photo: New York Post. I suddenly recalled in 2009, the first time my friends took me to the only gay bar in Haikou – the capital of Hainan province. It was nestled behind an abandoned hotel, hidden by another row of working hotels. Later, I found out that that is the common point of spaces for the LGBT community – discreet, out of sight. To outsiders, these areas are completely invisible, hard to find. But for people like Ah Tao, this is the only place to take off your mask and be true to yourself. “Happy or sad, I always go to these bars to relax. The LGBT community here doesn’t have that much space,” said Xiaomai, a 19-year-old gay man. However, such bars only exist in major cities on the island. In smaller towns, they can only meet and chat at teahouses, convenience stores and parks. The risk of being discovered, stigmatized, affecting honor, family and work is also greater. Therefore, Ah Tao told me not to mention a word related to “gay”. Following Ah Tao’s footsteps into a convenience store at an intersection in a dark alley, I saw three electric mahjong tables surrounded by many people, men and women of all kinds. Seeing Ah Tao, they turned to ask about love and marriage. “It looks like it, but the men sitting here are all gay,” Ah Tao whispered to me. Accordingly, because they want to participate in community activities, many gay people in Hainan accept to hide their identities and pretend to be a different person. The worry of “no wife, no children” “How do you have a wife and children that are so few these days?”, a woman playing mahjong turned to ask Ah Tao. In fact, gay men here often receive such curious questions about marriage. Family pressure, children are always present, reminding Ah Tao that he is living “no wife, no children”. Many people in the community fear that they will be forced to marry and have children according to the expectations of family and society. “I am happy to make friends, get to know many people like me. But what about the future? How should I face my family, how do I explain the fact that I am still unmarried at 20-30 years old?”, Xiaomai’s heart. Some gay people living in Hainan choose to have children through surrogacy, which helps relieve the pressure of marriage and the anxiety of loneliness in old age. Photo: The Guardian. In China, the traditional concept of family still has a profound influence in society. For men, they need to be responsible for getting married and having children at all costs. In addition, due to fear of old age without a caregiver, many gay men accept marriage. “I got married partly because of my parents, partly because I was afraid that I wouldn’t have someone to look after me in my old age,” said 24 year old Liang Zongwei, a gay man living in Haikou. Some individuals like Ah Long (36 years old), a factory owner in northeastern Hainan, choose to have children through surrogacy. However, not everyone has the financial means to do this. In big cities, social organizations are trying to change stereotypes and raise social awareness about the LGBT community. But with provinces and cities that have not yet received economic and cultural investment like Hainan, the presence of homosexuals has not been properly recognized. From the experience of making friends with Ah Tao and being exposed to LGBT culture in Hainan, I reflect more on life, wondering if having to hide my true self is really “living”.

Dance is popular among the Chinese LGBTQ + community. Dance origins The dance form in the dance ball flourished in New York in the 1980s. Before that, the genre had been developed for more than 20 years in Harlem, New York. The term “Balls” refers to an “underground culture”, where disadvantaged people in life choose to “go underground” to show their beauty and dance skills. Balls from a regular dance form gradually become a safe haven for the LGBTQ + community, especially communities that are often looked down upon as colored, Latin, to interact and freely express themselves. The performers are grouped into families. In which, the best or the most responsible person claims to be the mother. Their children may be older than themselves, but depend on each other with strong solidarity. In other words, the drag family, the dance festival is the choice of individuals who have been abandoned by their family members just because they belong to the LGBTQ + community. The Drag Queen is increasingly popular thanks to reality TV and movies. In 1990, pop queen Madonna brought underground culture to mass audiences with her hit song Vogue. Gay and transgender dances are gradually being loved, leading to a series of dance classes in the US and Europe. Today, the culture of drag queen and underground dance is more prevalent and popular thanks to reality TV shows RuPaul’s Drag Race (where the contestants pretend to be girls and compete to compete) and Pose – series on Netflix about underground dance, a hidden corner of the life of the LGBTQ + community in the 1980s. Recently, the Asian community has gradually adopted Western culture, dragging it into a culture imported into Asia, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Vietnam. China promotes the drag queen culture Today, hundreds of young people from the Chinese LGBT community, many of whom are far away, flock to Beijing to attend the ball. With categories including Butch Queen Realness, Drag Queen Lip Sync (Who lip-synced best) and Vogued Open To All, the artists will expose the The best thing for the jury. “This is a playground for the underprivileged,” said Li Yifan, nicknamed Bazi, 27, a party organizer in China. SCMP. Currently, he is considered to be the mainstay of China’s quietly growing dance genre. The drag queen culture is prevalent in China. In 2001, homosexuality in China was considered a mental illness. Most of the people in the LGBTQ + community live in fear, including criticism, legal application to homosexuals … Now everything is different. According to Bazi, those who attended a dance felt a very powerful aura flowing through them. This is an opportunity for them to “live the truth”, express their gender and sexual orientation in a unique way. Bazi said that this is “an auxiliary culture in China’s long cultural system”. However, it gradually became a mainstream trend, developed especially in many parts of China, after flourishing in Shanghai. According to Bazi, what he did not expect was the balls and vogue in bloom again, loved by Chinese women. Explaining this, he thinks that women in the land of billions are no different from the LGBTQ + community. They are persecuted by the patriarchy, unable to resist and turn to the ballroom to shake off their feelings of oppression. “I drink water, I have to go to the toilet with a catwalk” Hua Hua, 23, a drag queen performer, said: “Voging, the dance is very young in China but they are gradually dominating, developed by enthusiastic and passionate people.” In 2016, Hua Hua started to approach the prom world. Recalling the first day, the man wearing a feathered wig and evening gown came to join and become loved. Especially, when coming to the ball, they are chosen to transform into many different images. Today, you can be the elegant star of classic Hollywood, tomorrow, the complete participant becomes the supermodel of modern high fashion. And if you want to become a royal, no one has the right to ban you, even be supported, welcomed. “You can freely express gender, sexiness. You step onto the stage with the attitude ‘I’m pretty, elegant, can everyone be like me?’ ”, Hua Hua said. SCMP, at the same time posing and performing typical dance moves. Many artists find comfort after approaching the drag queen and dance culture. For Hua Hua, the dance and the dance made them feel free from the bondage of Chinese society. People from the LGBTQ + community also feel “liberated and truly happy for the first time”, after experiencing an unhappy childhood, being marginalized by the society because of gender identity and sexual orientation. is considered “different people”. “It has become a part of my life. Every day, whether I go to the toilet or even get a drink, I don’t go normally but imagine myself living in a ball, catwalk in a flexible style, ”Hua Hua said proudly. However, under the development of the media and social networks, many people fear that prom culture will be commercialized, easily misinterpreted and negative reviews. The dance has a rather tragic history. This is a form of dance created from the suffering of the generation of racism, depression, people in the LGBTQ + community abandoned by their families and society. “Many people have fallen because of stigma and beatings and are victims of HIV / AIDS. Once you want to learn vogue, you have to contact, learn the culture and history behind “, Hua Hua added.

The wife in the story below shares her thoughts and feelings to ask the online community for advice. She said: “My husband went on a trip with his own company and searched and searched for arousal massage in that area, looking for a girl to call on the spot and a girl to call the island. I do not know how to look, but have gone yet and have had contact with the calling girl yet. Asked, I was tired to sleep early last night. Briefly tell about her situation: 28 years old, her mother has not worked yet, has a 3-month-old daughter. Currently living in a rental apartment alone, the cumulative income of 50-80 million a month (this income in the field of my husband’s career), the husband’s salary to give his wife 30 million monthly. General debt 1 billion 2. My grandmother’s family has no conditions, she currently raises her younger sibling and is about to graduate and lives with her. Talking briefly about my husband: good, comfortable personality with his wife about money issues, not disciplined, knows how to make money but carelessly does housework not to support his wife and children, also loves his children but is lazy and addicted to cigarettes. Doesn’t allow carrying much, or goes out, rarely stays at home. A few months ago, when I was about to go away, my husband also looked for a girl to call the area that was going to be there, I knew it and made it difficult to stay home, this time again. At present, if she divorces, the daughter loses her father and the other debt does not know how to resolve. I am not making a big deal of waiting for my husband to check call history to see if I have called a girl and have sex yet. If we just endure and don’t make a big deal to keep the family, how long will it last? When I found out that I could only hold my baby and cry, be compassionate for my daughter, I have such a husband and a father should not be stigmatized. Someone has experience to help me advise how to solve it, I am so miserable I can’t cry anymore. If you do not sympathize, please do not say bitter words! “. This is a fairly realistic story with many wives who are trapped in burdens that make them not determined enough to let go. Most netizens sympathized and advised her to endure, wait for her older child, and then settle it completely. But perhaps, this husband has such a sick hobby just to serve his sexual needs, not the intention of leaving his wife. Surely he and many other men consider it normal, that is still responsible for his family, still paying his wife fully, the other pleasure is just for “comfort”. Like her wife said, although she was suffering, although this was not the first time, she was still aware of her husband’s “effect” on his family and his strengths. If put on the scale, the amount of money he gives to his wife is not small and her ability to earn money is enough to take care of the mother and daughter’s life. The problem is that they have a large amount of debt in common. Postpartum women are very disadvantaged, this is a time of testing the husband’s love and courage. At this stage, men are most likely to cheat because their wives are decapitated, get used to life and do not meet the husband’s needs. But marriage is about trying together, sharing together and solving difficulties together, not living in anticipation and planning. Thinking, what her wife needs to do is collect enough evidence of her husband’s “crime”, have a frank conversation, not harshly, remove the knots in his heart. “Forcing” him to put himself in his wife’s shoes thinking about how he would feel in return. That conversation is an opportunity for you to open up and show your seriousness, toughness, goodwill to hear your husband confide, and want to heal your family. If necessary, subtly get your parents-in-law involved, let them analyze for him how dangerous a loose lifestyle, “pay off the cake” is. Regardless of the circumstances in which we women, we must be very alert and skillful to benefit us, we should not be too rigid, but maybe we can save it and be “absolutely”, then be clear when needed. to the step of divorce.
