A Political Crisis
My comic is about a political scandal happened in my hometown Chongqing in 2012. The former political chef of Chongqing, Bo Xilai, was found of guilty of corruption,stripped of all his assets and sentenced to life imprisonment.
However, the ironic of the thing is before the Wang Lijun incident, which refers to Bo's top lieutenant and police chief, Wang Lijun sought asylum at the American consulate in Chengdu, people in Chongqing, also people across the whole country, had no idea of the corruption of Bo's leadership.
Instead, during 2007 to 2012, which was Bo's tenures as secretary of Communist Party 's Chongqing branch, not only people living in Chongqing, but also all kinds of media including newspaper, TV news and websites enthusiastically corresponded to Bo's political idea and strongly supported Bo's leadership. Actually, Bo had a rather good reputation before his corruption was revealed to the public.
