On October 28, a blog post titled "The Ugly People of Sichuan" was posted and immediately drew a wave of criticism from netizens. After exposing the "faults" of Hunan, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong provinces and municipalities, the young Hunanese writer Zhang Yiyi's "Geography of World Ugliness" once again pointed to Sichuan, listing four major shortcomings of Sichuan people as being "short", "promiscuous", "stupid", and "dirty". Yesterday, Chengdu lawyer Yao Fei, who claimed to be deeply "hurt" by the online article, said that he had drafted a civil complaint and intended to sue Zhang Yiyi, demanding a public apology and compensation for mental distress.
The author is arrogant, claiming that people from Sichuan are short, promiscuous, stupid, and dirty.
