The live-stream begins at 8:00 PM Shanghai time. Luo Xia, dressed in a qipao woven with fiber-optic threads that change patterns with viewer interactions, demonstrates the nearly-lost art of Jiangnan watercolor painting to 2.7 million global subscribers.

This is the new face of Shanghai womanhood - technologically fluent yet culturally rooted, locally authentic yet globally accessible.
