An undergraduate student of Renmin University of China, a nude model with a reward of 500 yuan per session. These two radically different identities plunged Su Zizzi (stage name) of the post-90s generation into a vortex of controversy. Some say she is self-reliant, while others argue that her so-called art is just a step away from pornography. At the end of 2010, Su Zizzi held a low-key opening of her self-organized art exhibition "Who am I" at the Xu Beihong Art School of Renmin University, showcasing her own nude photos. Despite the school authorities shielding some photos, many students were still shocked by this "boldness", and even her mother thought Su Zizzi was "crazy". What experiences has this girl who is not yet 20 years old gone through? How does she face controversies and misunderstandings?
