Following the global success of Ne Zha 2, a spirited debate has emerged on the birthplace of the legendary character Nezha. Tianjin, Liaoning, Anhui and Henan are all vying to claim the mythical hero as their own, sparking viral social media campaigns and regional pride.
At China's ongoing two sessions, national lawmakers and political advisers cut through the noise, emphasizing that the birthplace is less important than Nezha's cultural value and its impact on tourism and the cultural industries.
As the world embraces Nezha's rebellious spirit, one truth emerges: This isn't just about a mythical hero's "hometown". It's about how China's iconic cultural assets are reshaping modern global narratives, one blockbuster at a time.
