Here is a translation from some of the original posts made by Luo Huazhong (the Kind traveler).
His rejection of modern life & the way he chooses to live his life struck a chord with some people in china, so much so that he seems to have been banned from posting & mention of Tang Ping is also not allowed.
Its an interesting read!
Oh wow. I read a couple little blurbs about it when I first read this post, but I had no idea that the government had responded to it.
Makes me think the movement is much more pervasive than the articles I read made it out to be.
There’s a Wikipedia page about it, looks like it’s the top searched meme on sogou.

That post that we read, apparently had a discussion group around it with $10,000 followers, looks like the CCP shut it down.
There are Tang ping t-shirts.
Survey on Weibo had 144000 user saying they’d like to embrace the movement.
