Nudity in art and nude modeling were introduced into China almost one century ago. When famed Chinese painter Liu Haisu became the first to initiate a figure drawing course at a Shanghai art school in 1917, he immediately triggered public uproar and widespread controversy in regards to nude modeling. Since then, China has become much more open to nude modeling, especially when we think back on the 1928 slashing of a nude model by her father for posing for internationally renowned Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan who took the country's first artistic nude shot .

Experts fear smaller cities can't afford lines Following a surge in subway investment last year, construction of urban rail systems in China will continue to grow rapidly this year, which has caused some experts to worry about the financial risks it can pose to local governments. The total investment in urban rail plans approved last year reached nearly 1 trillion yuan ($ 160 billion), including 360 billion yuan for projects that have passed feasibility studies, which means these projects can start construction, according to the National Development and Reform Commission. In September, the commission approved 25 subway projects in 18 cities with a total investment of more than 800 billion yuan. Two months later, the commission approved the urban rail plans of four other cities -- Beijing, Nanchang, Fuzhou and Urumqi -- with a total investment of 135 billion yuan.
