There are so many positives to this story: the art, the characters and the relationships (to name a few). Equally important is the realistic depiction of how hard the lgbt+ community has it in modern day China. It is a reminder for the younger generation, like those depicted in Here U Are, to fight for human and equal rights. Even if not in China, other countries with antiquated laws need the same fight internally. It is not enough to have global, outside groups working to help change the laws. Change must also come from within. For those of us that are lucky to live in countries that have equal laws, we must be vocal allies for everyone is worthy of their truth and worthy of true love.
