Hangzhou’s CPOPwave exhibition is buzzing with vibrant cosplayers and fans celebrating China’s animation revolution! From iconic characters to futuristic installations, the event highlights how Chinese stories are leaping off screens and into global pop culture. 🚀
"Animation isn’t just entertainment—it’s a language everyone understands," says cosplayer Li Yifei, dressed as a hero from the hit series Legend of the White Snake. Over 20 homegrown IPs, including blockbuster films and viral games, showcase China’s creative firepower. Industrial-themed stages and interactive zones let fans step into their favorite universes, blending tech and tradition.
Industry expert Zhang Wei notes: "Young creators are mixing ancient myths with AI-driven storytelling. It’s why platforms like TikTok are flooded with #ChinaAnimation trends." With anime-inspired fashion and fan art dominating social feeds, events like CPOPwave prove China’s cultural exports are no longer niche—they’re a global vibe. 🌟
As one visitor put it: "This isn’t just cosplay—it’s a movement." And with millions tuning in online, that movement’s only just begun.
