Badiucao is one of China's most prolific and provocative political cartoonists. Much of his work champions human rights causes, for instance this year he drew a mural of his icon, the late activist Liu Xiaobo, just days before his death. Badiucao takes great pains to protect his identity, using an alias and wearing a mask at public exhibitions of his work. He tells Shaimaa Khalil why he became an artist, and the cost of keeping his personal life so secret.
