Remember #ZhaoWei? If you live in #China, the answer is "I've never known that name." A celebrity close with #JackMa has been "vapourized", as #GeorgeOrwell would say. On the morning of 27 August, her social media pages were gone, all her works (drama series and films) were removed, her "friends" deleted pictures with her. All of a sudden, we're supposed to pretend that she never existed. Naturally, people can talk of no one and nothing but her virtual disappearance.

We may never know what has happened, but there is a trend of #CCP banning celebrity culture. More on this later.
