Laura Gao says she wants to show people the Wuhan beyond the headlines. 'It's disheartening to know that all they know are the bad parts ... that people always want to bash on and point fingers at.' So she made a comic about the city where she was born.
"I've always been an artist, and I believe that comics are a great way to marry imagery with the power of words to express a story," Gao says.It starts with Gao's childhood when she moved with her parents to a small town in Texas,"where Wuhan was more foreign than Mars."
When she'd try to tell them what the city was like, they were often disinterested. Eventually, she gave up.But now, Gao says it feels as if everyone knows about Wuhan — but not the full story. Some of her favorite Wuhanese dishes include rè gān miàn or hot and dry noodles, doù pí, sticky rice with meat and veggies wrapped in bean skin and fried in a giant wok and yā bó zi or duck neck.
