Paragraph 3: A University of Michigan undergraduate, Sonia Doshi, launched a series of confessional
performances on her campus called "The Mental Health Monologues," to help peers
explore the link between speaking out and healing. Doshi guided participants over the
course of three months to create stories, videos, and, eventually, live performances
describing their experience with mental illness. "It was incredibly cathartic to go through
the process of writing, creating, and sharing these stories. It was a way for them to
reflect on what they had been through in a safe space," says Doshi, now a Stanford
graduate student, whose master's thesis examines the positive power of technology on
mental health activism. "People are going to use social media no matter what," Doshi
says. "We're in this culture of communicating and consuming constantly, why not
capitalize on that? The power to have that impact on a wider, more global scale is
huge."

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
