China Daily  

Stand-up comedian Yang Mengqi. Working as a sales director in the daytime, Yang Mengqi does stand-up at various clubs and pubs at night in Shanghai. "Compared to our male counterparts, female comedians face greater challenges," Yang says. She has gone viral on social media after participating in the ongoing season of Rock and Roast, a show to promote stand-up comedy culture. A judge on the show, Li Dan, commented that her act "brings a sense of oppression", claiming she spent too much time talking about her education background and decent job.
