Update the Feminism in China article on the Feminist Five and how they impacted the lives today:

Events that came after the Feminist Five
After the release of the Feminist Five, Hong Fincher interviewed the female activist, as she was interested in their impact on the world thus was one of the inspirations that lead to her book, released in 2018, titled Betraying Big Brother: The Feminist Awakening in China.

There were not a lot of feminist activities happening in China after the arrest of the Feminist Five. Although the movement gained a lot of attention, it soon became a lot more difficult to make activism a full time job in China as it has been a struggle to obtain financial support for their activist work and their personal means. The reason for this is because in the China Change article, it says that "... it is now illegal to accept funding from foundations that have not established offices in China." , and the lack of funding makes it difficult for new recruits to join the feminist movement.

One of the Feminist Five faced consequences from their actions. Wu Rongrong, (武嵘嵘) had a 10 year travel ban from leaving China after trying to gain visa to Hong Kong for law school. In the year 2017, Wu Rongrong was finally able to renew her passport to Hong Kong and is able to study Law there.

Zheng Churan, another one of the Feminist Five, protested against Donald Trump and pointing out the negative behaviours he had done towards woman.

The actions of the Feminist Five lead to the emergence in popularity, within China, of an ongoing movement, called the #MeToo movement. Because of this, many university students, both female and male, in China had gathered to sign petitions against harassment, showing that the younger generations are taking action on these issues that happen in China.
