    Comedy is on the rise in China, and one of its unlikeliest stars is a cross-dressing performer known as Xiao Shenyang, or "Little Shenyang." The 29-year-old comedian 1 has a reputation for gender-bending costumes and occasional vulgarity. Little Shenyang appeared in last year's Lunar New Year gala show organized by state-run CCTV. While his jokes were scrubbed clean of sexual innuendo 2 that night, the fresh-faced youth did wear a skirt - calling it a "Scottish kilt." Little Shenyang was an instant hit with the show's 600 million–strong audience.

    中国喜剧方兴未艾,其中最有传奇色彩的明星之一便是男扮女装的小沈阳。这名29岁的喜剧演员以性别颠倒的着装以及不时的粗俗之举而出名。去年,他现身中国中央电视台春节联欢晚会,当晚虽没有“黄段子”,这名新人还是穿了一条裙子——他称之为“苏格兰裙”。于是,在这台晚会的6亿多观众面前,小沈阳一炮走红。

    In person, Little Shenyang is modest, even polite, making it hard to imagine him telling off-color jokes, prancing 3 about in full makeup 4 and sequined hair clips, squeaking 5, "I'm all man!" In an interview with NEWSWEEK, he denied that his unconventional stage persona had any homosexual message. "It's just a performing style to make people laugh, to be closer to real life," he says.

    私底下,小沈阳很谦逊,甚至彬彬有礼,让人很难想到他会讲下流笑话、化着浓妆带着闪亮的发卡在台上蹦蹦跳跳,同时高喊:“我是纯爷们!”在接受《时代周刊》记者采访时,他否认自己的非正统舞台形象有任何同性恋暗示。他说:“这只是逗笑形式,为了更贴近真实生活。”

    The Little Shenyang phenomenon is mainly the provenance 6 of China's post-80s generation. But it's also a throwback to earlier. Westerners sometimes perceive Chinese society - incorrectly - as sexually conservative. In fact, cross-dressing performers and gay culture had thrived in China for centuries.

    小沈阳现象主要源于中国的80后一代。但这也可以追溯到更早。西方人误以为中国社会在性方面很保守,而事实上,男扮女装表演以及同性恋文化曾在中国盛行了几百年。

    "I don't know what is regarded as 'vulgar,' but I know audiences like my performances," Little Shenyang says.

    小沈阳在接受采访时这么说:“我不知道什么是‘俗’,但我知道观众喜欢我的表演。”
