 * Symbol voting keep.svg Hi Zanhe & Huangdan2060, review follows: article crated 21 February; article is of good length; article is well written and cited throughout to what appear to be reliable sources; All bar one of the sources are Chinese so I cannot confirm they support the facts but am happy to AGF; the only English language reference supports the statement it is aligned with in the article; hook fact is interesting and is supported by the article (AGF on sourcing); the image used is suitably licensed and works well at small scale; QPQ has been done - Dumelow (talk) 10:51, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
