China’s long history and modern life have produced stories that are strange, inventive, and sometimes unsettling. In this collection, two bank managers try to repay stolen money with lottery winnings, two sets of identical twins keep a restaurant open for 21 hours a day, and a convenience store hangs from a cliff. Ancient customs, mythical creatures, and remarkable people round out these 50 more bizarre facts about China. Catch up with Part 1 and Part 2.
1 Sun Yaoting China’s Last Imperial Enuch
Sun Yaoting, the last surviving eunuch of China’s imperial court, was castrated by his father at age eight without anesthesia. While he recovered, China’s last emperor abdicated, and the country became a republic. Sun died in 1996, but he could not be buried with his preserved genitals as a “complete man”: his family had thrown them away during the Cultural Revolution, fearing persecution if they were found.
2. In 2005, Chinese lottery ticket seller Zhao Liqun discovered that a flaw let him buy tickets with the winning numbers for five minutes after the results were announced. He repeatedly exploited it and had friends and neighbors collect the prizes, claiming 28 million yuan ($3.76 million). After authorities uncovered the fraud, a court sentenced him to life in prison and confiscated his property.
3. Because eight is considered lucky in Chinese culture, a man in Zhengzhou reportedly spent one million yuan, about $145,000 at the time, on a license plate reading “88888” for his pickup truck. On his first day using it, police stopped him eight times because they suspected the unusually valuable plate was fake.
4. In 2010, a division of China’s People’s Liberation Army began training 10,000 messenger pigeons to carry military communications if war disabled modern systems. The birds were expected to fly at speeds of up to 75 mph (120 km/h) while carrying loads of up to 3.5 ounces (100 g).
5. In 2016, Lady Gaga was reportedly added to a Chinese Communist Party list of “hostile foreign forces” after meeting the Dalai Lama in Indianapolis to discuss yoga, meditation, and mental health. A Hong Kong newspaper reported that Chinese authorities ordered websites to stop distributing her music.
6 China Eastern’s 300 Lounge Meals
A man in China bought a refundable first-class ticket on China Eastern Airlines and used it to enter the VIP lounge at Xi’an airport for free meals. For nearly a year, he repeatedly postponed his flight, changing the booking more than 300 times and returning to eat without flying. When the airline investigated, he canceled the ticket and received a full refund.
7. For the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Chinese authorities designated three parks where people could apply for permits to protest. They received 77 applications and approved none. Some applicants were detained or went missing after seeking permission; two elderly women were sentenced to a year of re-education through labor after applying.
8. In 2015, Chinese police found a 24-year-old woman known as Xiao Yun, whom her family had presumed dead after she vanished a decade earlier. She had left home at 14 after an argument with her parents and spent the intervening years playing CrossFire, sleeping in internet cafes and bathhouses, and surviving on handouts and occasional cashier work. Police found her during a routine check at an internet cafe and contacted her parents.
9. During China’s Ming Dynasty, practitioners blew powdered smallpox scabs into healthy people’s noses. The practice, called variolation, usually caused a milder infection that left survivors immune. It still killed an estimated 0.5-2% of recipients, compared with a reported 20-30% mortality rate for smallpox acquired naturally.
10. Tu Youyou’s discovery of the malaria drug artemisinin drew on a roughly 1,600-year-old Chinese medical text. Its instructions for preparing sweet wormwood led her to suspect that boiling damaged the active ingredient, so she tried a low-temperature extraction. After successful animal tests, Tu and two colleagues tested the extract on themselves before giving it to patients. She received the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery.
11 Lanmaoa Asiatica Mushroom’s Miniature Hallucinations
A popular mushroom in China’s Yunnan province, Lanmaoa asiatica, can cause “lilliputian hallucinations” when undercooked. People have described seeing tiny humanlike figures slipping under doors, climbing walls, and clinging to furniture. Researchers have yet to identify the compound responsible.
12. China accounted for about 46% of the world’s cigarette sales when a 2023 investigation reported that more than 2.4 trillion cigarettes were sold there each year. Nearly half of Chinese adult men used tobacco, compared with fewer than 2% of women. The state-owned China Tobacco supplied almost the entire domestic cigarette market; in 2022, its profits and taxes generated $213 billion for China’s central government.
13. In China, some families ask doctors to withhold a cancer diagnosis from the patient because they fear the news will cause psychological harm. In a 2018 survey of 180 physicians in Shandong province, 98% said they would discuss the diagnosis with the family first, and 82% said they would withhold it if the family asked.
14. When David Attenborough’s Blue Planet II reached China in 2017, so many viewers streamed or downloaded it through Tencent Video that reports said the surge temporarily slowed internet service.
15. For centuries in China, young girls’ feet were broken and tightly bound to create “lotus feet.” The coveted “three-inch golden lotus” was associated with beauty and status and, in some areas, improved marriage prospects. The practice caused lasting pain and could severely limit mobility.
16 Asia’s 12,000 Bile Farm Bears
There are 12,000 bears on bile farms across Asia. Extracting their bile involves surgery to insert a catheter or create an opening through the abdomen. A 2011 estimate valued the worldwide trade in all bear parts, including bile, at $2 billion. Bear bile is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine.
17. A Chinese entrepreneur named Tao Huabi grew up in poverty in rural Guizhou and became one of China’s richest women through her Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. As a widow raising two sons, she served homemade chili sauce with the noodles and tofu she sold from a food stall. Customers liked the sauce so much that she launched it as a brand in 1996.
18. After his two-year-old son Guo Xinzhen was abducted in 1997, Guo Gangtang spent 24 years searching across China. He exhausted his savings, fell into debt, and wore out 10 motorcycles before police used DNA evidence to reunite them in 2021. During his search, he also helped reunite more than 100 other abducted children with their families.
19. There is a popular conspiracy theory in China that says that much of the history of ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt was fabricated. In 2024, art history professor Huang Heqing argued that ancient Greek sculptures and buildings were too refined to be genuine.
20. Pixar’s Coco reached Chinese theaters without cuts despite its story about a boy meeting his dead relatives. Chinese film rules restrict depictions of ghosts and the supernatural, but the film’s focus on family and honoring ancestors may have helped it gain approval.
15 Most Controversial & Costly Blunders in History
21 Tiananmen’s Disputed 10,000 Death Estimate
In 1989, Chinese officials said about 200 civilians died during the military crackdown on the Tiananmen Square protests. A British ambassador’s cable, declassified in 2017, recorded an unnamed Chinese official’s estimate of at least 10,000 civilian deaths. The true toll still remains unknown.
22. In 2015, a Chinese tech company reportedly hired three women as “programming cheerleaders” to bring breakfast, chat, and play ping-pong with its programmers. Its HR manager described the programmers as mostly male and poor at socializing and claimed the new hires improved their motivation and efficiency.
23. China requires adult children to attend to their aging parents’ emotional needs and visit them regularly. That year, a court ordered a woman to visit her 77-year-old mother at least once every two months. A person who defies such a court order could be fined or detained.
24. Chinese scientists announced in 2018 that they had cloned two crab-eating macaques, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, using the same nuclear-transfer method that produced Dolly the sheep. They were the first primates cloned by that method, though an earlier monkey had been cloned by embryo splitting. There are no longer any significant scientific barriers to a form of human cloning apart from ethics.
25. Qin Er Shi, China’s second Qin emperor, was treated as the “Son of Heaven” whose face and voice should be hidden from his ministers. This treatment left them little access to him without his powerful adviser Zhao Gao present. After three years on the throne, Zhao Gao forced him to die by suicide at age 22.
RE: Fact #28 (Cards Against Humanity’s Factory Vacation) – I wonder how many of them just sat at home totally stumped, not knowing what to do with themselves.
RE: Fact #37 (China’s Unemployed Rent Pretend Offices) – I would never pay to cosplay as an office worker, but I don’t have Asian parents to please or social media followers to impress.
RE: Fact #27 (Panda Kindergarten’s 18-Cub Birthday Party) – That’s so sweet. Despite everything going on in the world, it’s nice that there are people dedicated to animal welfare. It isn’t easy work, and I have a lot of respect for them.
RE: Fact #4 (PLA’s 10, 000 Backup Messenger Pigeons) – “Military communications” is their excuse. We don’t stand a chance.
Birdy, birdy, in the sky, what’s that landing in my eye? Just hope elephants don’t start flying too!
RE: Fact #19 (Huang Heqing’s Greek Sculpture Conspiracy) – Amateurs! We have a conspiracy theory in Russia that claims almost all history before the printing press was made up, ancient, medieval, Eastern, Western, the whole lot.
Do they actually believe it’s fake, or just that the records are inaccurate? History is really just our best estimation, after all.
RE: Fact #6 (China Eastern’s 300 Lounge Meals) – He only got caught because the airline’s system struggled to handle his ticket. There were so many logs from constant cancellations that it took forever to load. Staff eventually pulled a supervisor, but he realized what was happening, ran to a different counter, and cashed in his refund before they could stop him.
So, could he have just canceled the ticket entirely every week or month and started a brand new booking?
RE: Fact #41 (Agricultural Bank Managers’ Lottery Robbery) – Aren’t bank managers supposed to have at least some basic financial sense?
RE: Fact #8 (Xiao Yun’s Ten-Year Gaming Disappearance) – Was she actually sleeping in those cafes? Wouldn’t staff kick her out for that?
RE: Fact #41 (Agricultural Bank Managers’ Lottery Robbery) – They really do not mess around with theft there. Have people ever been executed for stealing in the US?
RE: Fact #4 (PLA’s 10, 000 Backup Messenger Pigeons) – Just strap a few microSD cards to them and they’d be faster than my home internet connection.
People have actually tested that, it really is faster than the internet in most places.
RE: Fact #31 (Shi Jianqiao’s Pardoned Warlord Assassination) – And she pulled all of that off with bound feet.
RE: Fact #11 (Lanmaoa Asiatica Mushroom’s Miniature Hallucinations) – I’m fairly certain the show ‘Common Side Effects’ is about these mushrooms.
RE: Fact #36 (Jiang Qing’s Li Lili Persecution) – Just a reminder that most dictators have the emotional maturity of a toddler.
RE: Fact #23 (China’s Court-Ordered Visits to Parents) – Singapore has something similar. It doesn’t apply if you can prove you were neglected or abused as a child.
It is tough to prove abuse and neglect decades later. How can you legally show what parents did to you 30 or 40 years ago?
RE: Fact #23 (China’s Court-Ordered Visits to Parents) – Some places in the US and Canada have similar laws on the books. It is unclear how often they are enforced, and it will be interesting to see how this plays out in China.
Those are filial responsibility laws, often used to help the state recover nursing home costs. Also, check out “Medicaid clawback” in the US, if a senior applies for coverage, the state reviews their last five years of spending. If they helped their parents in certain ways, adult children can sometimes get stuck with huge bills.
RE: Fact #27 (Panda Kindergarten’s 18-Cub Birthday Party) – > Pandas were placed in dens with members of the opposite sex so they would become familiar with each other’s smell, in an attempt to encourage mating. Can confirm. That method works for me every time.
So the whole problem was that they were just trying to breed pandas from same-sex pairs?
RE: Fact #21 (Tiananmen’s Disputed 10, 000 Death Estimate) – Good to keep this in mind whenever you see official reports from China regarding COVID deaths. Also, claiming “only 200” speaks volumes.
Do people actually believed the death toll numbers coming out of China? My wife is Chinese, and both she and our Chinese-Australian friends were convinced the CCP was lying through their teeth.
RE: Fact #35 (Tiananmen’s Censored May 35th Code) – I checked the estimated death toll for the Tiananmen Square massacre, and Wikipedia lists the range as between 180 and 10, 454. How on earth is the gap that massive?
RE: Fact #9 (Ming Dynasty Smallpox Scab Inoculation) – Back then, people accepted a 0.5-2.0% mortality rate from inoculation because they knew it was safer than the alternative. Now, we have vaccines that are incredibly safe, and yet some people still refuse to take them.
RE: Fact #37 (China’s Unemployed Rent Pretend Offices) – Do people treat this as a remote work or coworking space? It seems like it would be really helpful to have a place outside the house to get work done or apply for jobs, especially since a day pass at a coworking space in the US is like $30.
You can pay to just sit around and pretend to be busy, but it sounds like most people actually use the space to job hunt or get a startup off the ground.
RE: Fact #35 (Tiananmen’s Censored May 35th Code) – Just to be clear, nobody is actually tricked by the term May 35th. It is just a way to talk about the larger issue of navigating automated, blanket censorship.
RE: Fact #8 (Xiao Yun’s Ten-Year Gaming Disappearance) – I can buy that she lived on handouts, but internet cafes aren’t free. Was she dating the manager or something? How did she afford to stay there and game?
RE: Fact #11 (Lanmaoa Asiatica Mushroom’s Miniature Hallucinations) – It is quite difficult to find outside of specific Asian food and mushroom markets. The hallucinogenic compound hasn’t been identified yet, but it’s not psilocybin.
RE: Fact #15 (China’s Three-Inch Lotus Foot Binding) – I still struggle to understand how this ever started. The process was so incredibly brutal, and girls constantly died of infection. And for what?
That’s how fashion often works, it started because an emperor had a foot fetish. The story goes that he was obsessed with a dancer whose feet were so small he could hold them in his palm. I assume she just had naturally small feet, but it turned into a huge trend.
The women who went through it said their feet would smell so awful they couldn’t even stand to take the wrappings off.
RE: Fact #3 (88888 License Plate’s Eight Stops) – Does that make Google’s DNS server the luckiest one on the web then?
RE: Fact #4 (PLA’s 10, 000 Backup Messenger Pigeons) – The Swiss army kept their pigeon service until 1995 and had 40, 000 birds. For a country as massive as China, 10, 000 seems really low.
The point is that in an emergency, you already have trained pigeon experts who can be made into officers and teach others. Trying to start a program like that from scratch would take way too long.
RE: Fact #5 (Lady Gaga’s Dalai Lama Blacklisting) – New personal goal: get banned from China as a hostile foreign force.
RE: Fact #43 (Tongyangxi Girls Raised as Brides) – My grandmother was actually one of those girls. But it was pretty informal, she was sent to my grandfather’s household when she was about 5, but she cried so much that the great-grandmothers decided to send her back to her mom. She lived in her own home until she was old enough to marry. She was born in 1919 and left China in 1947 with one kid, so she was in her early twenties when she had her first child. She ended up living to 101.
RE: Fact #30 (Yang Jingyu’s Bark-Filled Final Stand) – The guy was basically unkillable, and even that was probably not enough to finish him off. We should definitely be careful not to make him any angrier.
According to the wiki, the Japanese troops killed him but were nervous about getting close because he was such a legendary sniper. Even after they surrounded and killed him, they were worried his body might be a trap. He was a truly intimidating figure.
RE: Fact #13 (Shandong Physicians’ Family-First Cancer Disclosure) – This is still a pretty common practice in many parts of the world. It was also standard in Europe and the U.S. until the 1970s.
I worked as a floor nurse in the 70s. Keeping the diagnosis from patients was standard procedure. The family doctor was seen as an authority who was never questioned. People barely used the word cancer; they just called it the Big C. Patients would sit in the hospital for weeks or months, getting morphine or Dilaudid every four hours without ever being told what was actually wrong. There was no hospice and no real pain management, just a fear that patients might get addicted before they passed away. It was a brutal way to handle things.
RE: Fact #32 (American Chicken’s China Processing Detour) – It’s a massive problem when shipping food halfway across the world is cheaper than just processing it here in the States.
RE: Fact #19 (Huang Heqing’s Greek Sculpture Conspiracy) – It’s a nice reminder that the West doesn’t have a monopoly on people who believe in fringe conspiracies.
RE: Fact #25 (Qin Er Shi’s Forbidden Face) – He was honestly pretty naive. Zhao Gao manipulated him into staying isolated under the guise of needing rest, which kept the emperor in the dark while civil wars raged. When he finally realized the country was falling apart, he asked why nobody warned him, only to be reminded that he’d executed anyone who brought bad news. Zhao Gao eventually forced him to kill himself, and the next emperor took out Zhao Gao as soon as he realized what a traitor he was.
RE: Fact #24 (Zhong Zhong, Hua Hua Cloning) – They were doing gene-edited babies back in 2018, too. It was shady enough that China jailed the scientist involved, though he has been released since.
RE: Fact #45 (Wang Diange’s Exploding Cremation Mystery) – Why did they assume it was lightning? If he died in his own home, there should have been some evidence of a lightning strike. And wouldn’t they have noticed the wounds from the shrapnel?
RE: Fact #46 (Shih Tzus’ Fourteen Founding Dogs) – They did the same thing with Russian Wolfhounds following the 1918 revolution. That breed only survived because of the dogs already in America at the time.
It was the same story with Vizslas in Hungary
RE: Fact #31 (Shi Jianqiao’s Pardoned Warlord Assassination) – That must have been a fascinating time in China, with the country caught between old traditions and new ideals.
Unfortunately, the more you read about Chinese history, the more you realize that the revolution just meant trading one dictator for the next.
RE: Fact #25 (Qin Er Shi’s Forbidden Face) – The “Son of Heaven” title was used by Chinese emperors for over 2, 000 years, not just this one ruler. It was a standard political tool used to justify their power and claim divine right all the way until the end of the Qing dynasty.
European monarchies claimed divine right too. This definitely wasn’t unique to Chinese culture.
RE: Fact #34 (Chinese Collectors’ Looted Artifact Hunt) – The British Museum has dealt with similar criticism from Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. We really need to talk openly about them holding onto artifacts that were stolen years ago. Some of those old-school anthropologists definitely crossed the line.
The British Museum even has amazing stone carvings from the Americas that were looted from Mayan cities centuries ago. There’s no debate needed, taking goods from underdeveloped countries is just looting, plain and simple.
RE: Fact #39 (Qian Xuesen’s Red Scare Return) – USA: Spends all its time terrified of every secret communist trying to destroy the country. Also USA: Deports a guy who can build ballistic missiles to a communist state.
Also USA: You have to love how they brought in all those German scientists who just happened to be unemployed after 1945. At least they weren’t communists!
RE: Fact #47 (China’s Paid Jump Rope Lessons) – To pass the exam, you need 17 skips per minute, but an “Excellent” score requires much more. Boys need 99 jumps, while girls need 103.
103 in a minute? That sounded like a lot to me, but then I looked it up and saw the world record is 739 jumps in a minute! Incredible.
RE: Fact #15 (China’s Three-Inch Lotus Foot Binding) – If a family bound their daughter’s feet, it was a cruel display of status, a way to show they were rich enough that their daughter didn’t need to work in the fields.
Not entirely. Three inches was the extreme and considered the ideal, but poorer girls did it too, though they might aim for four or five inches since they still had to stand. It was more popular in certain areas, which were also the most competitive. Women had to rebind their feet daily just to keep the bones in place.
RE: Fact #17 (Tao Huabi’s Chili Sauce Fortune) – I love this stuff. We’ve always called it “Angry Chef” because of the expression on the jar.
RE: Fact #11 (Lanmaoa Asiatica Mushroom’s Miniature Hallucinations) – What if these mushrooms actually let you pierce the veil and see something that’s really there?
RE: Fact #8 (Xiao Yun’s Ten-Year Gaming Disappearance) – In Japan, internet cafes are basically unlicensed hotels for drunk men. That is how I use them, at least.
I was looking for cheap hotels in Osaka for a three-day trip, and when a friend suggested staying in an internet cafe, I thought he was joking at first. Then I realized he was serious.
RE: Fact #44 (Ezhou’s 26-Story Pig Farm Complex) – People are really out of touch with where their food comes from. Even in the US, most factory farms keep pigs in cramped indoor pens with no access to the outside. You can look it up; they don’t even try to hide how bad those conditions are.
But wait, have you considered that because it is a Chinese farm, it is automatically mysterious and sinister?
RE: Fact #5 (Lady Gaga’s Dalai Lama Blacklisting) – China won’t even let Tibetans discuss him, keep photos of him, or teach their children the Tibetan language. It is total cultural annihilation.
RE: Fact #29 (Mixue Surpassed McDonald’s Restaurant Count) – Mixue has 45, 000 locations and McDonald’s has 41, 800. Since they’re both global, I’m curious to see the breakdown between domestic and international growth.
Boba and ice cream shops are usually pretty small. It doesn’t seem like a fair comparison to a full-sized McDonald’s.
RE: Fact #43 (Tongyangxi Girls Raised as Brides) – > … and the children would be raised together. I bet that caused a lot of issues for the couple later on because of the Westermarck effect, where people aren’t naturally attracted to those they grow up with like siblings.
RE: Fact #35 (Tiananmen’s Censored May 35th Code) – > “In Taiwan I told a reporter, ‘You need to wear gloves when you shake hands with politicians here, because they are always out canvassing and shaking hands with people. You don’t need gloves on the mainland, because our politicians never have to press the flesh. You won’t find many germs on their fingers.” The Chinese government is going to need some serious ointment for that burn.
RE: Fact #27 (Panda Kindergarten’s 18-Cub Birthday Party) – It’s 2040 now. We made the mistake of letting pandas hang out in large groups and they’ve taken over. The remaining humans are just working the bamboo fields, and the entire global economy is based on bamboo and cuteness.
RE: Fact #1 (Sun Yaoting China’s Last Imperial Enuch) – After his family lost their home and land, they saw an older eunuch from their village get rich and hoped for the same, plus some revenge on the landlord, so they decided to castrate him. He was only eight, and they did it at home on their bed with a razor and no anesthesia. He was unconscious for three days and couldn’t even move for two months. Just horrific.
RE: Fact #1 (Sun Yaoting China’s Last Imperial Enuch) – If I remember right, they believed they couldn’t be reincarnated intact unless they were buried with their genitals. Many kept them on their person, while others left them with family for safekeeping. It is heartbreaking to think about, your own family being the ones to perform the castration, only to discard something so significant later.
during the Cultural Revolution, people could be killed just for being associated with anything linked to the old imperial regime. Any mark on your record was enough to get you persecuted.
RE: Fact #16 (Asia’s 12, 000 Bile Farm Bears) – I’m shocked it’s only 12, 000. And honestly, the catheter isn’t the worst part, don’t look it up if you have a weak stomach. These bears are kept in cages smaller than my 80-pound dog’s crate, and she only uses that when we have guests over. These bears are forced into that life 24/7. I usually try to be open-minded about different cultures, but some practices are just inexcusable.
RE: Fact #6 (China Eastern’s 300 Lounge Meals) – That seems like way too much effort. Going to the airport constantly just to cancel and rebook tickets and clear security… he could have just gotten a job and eaten at a normal restaurant for all that trouble.
RE: Fact #49 (Yiwu’s Twin Couples Worked Shifts) – So… if two sets of identical twins get married, their children are cousins but genetically siblings, right?
RE: Fact #18 (Guo Gangtang’s 24-Year Son Search) – That’s truly admirable. I really hope no father ever has to go through that kind of experience.
RE: Fact #23 (China’s Court-Ordered Visits to Parents) – Singapore has a similar law called the Maintenance of Parents Act. It is not perfect, but children with a history of abuse can apply to a tribunal for permission to opt out.
RE: Fact #10 (Tu Youyou’s Cold Artemisinin Extraction) – It is incredible that they figured out an effective way to treat malaria over a thousand years ago without any modern equipment. It really makes you wonder how much other ancient knowledge has been lost to time.
RE: Fact #22 (Chinese Tech Company’s Programming Cheerleaders) – You finally pushed your code? Time for the cheerleaders to come dance by your cubicle!
RE: Fact #12 (China Tobacco’s 2.4 Trillion Cigarettes) – That tracks. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in China, with rates significantly higher than many other nations. It’s roughly twice as common in men than women, which is largely driven by those high male smoking rates and air quality issues.
RE: Fact #10 (Tu Youyou’s Cold Artemisinin Extraction) – She also became the most famous person with a name that is nearly impossible to fit into the “Happy Birthday” song.
RE: Fact #5 (Lady Gaga’s Dalai Lama Blacklisting) – I have said it a million times: we can’t let Lady Gaga reach her final form. We need to stop her from doing yoga, especially the hot version, since it just acts as an accelerator.
RE: Fact #7 (Beijing’s Olympic Protest Permits Denied) – This reminds me of when my dad worked at Coca-Cola years ago. There was a union drive, and the company acted supportive, acting like they wanted employees to vote on it. They held the vote, and everyone at the plant who voted yes was laid off.
RE: Fact #42 (Aladdin’s China Setting in Print) – Hey, I actually know something about this. Calling it ‘set in China’ is a major stretch. The writer was a Syrian Christian who had no idea what China was like; it was just a name he picked for a far-off, romantic place. Nothing else in the story is Chinese, like the ruler being a sultan.
RE: Fact #20 (Coco Passed Chinese Censorship Uncut) – The themes of family and honoring your ancestors in Coco probably resonated strongly with audiences in China.
