Why flash films in China can be considered as subversive media? The answer should be found among those flash works. What are they against/for? What do they subvert? Here are some examples: Case I. R 'n' R @ New March This film is based on a very popular Chinese rock and roll song in 1980s, which in fact is one of the first rock and roll in China.

Another frequently appeared symbol in the film is the compass---- an invention that made Chinese people pride for several century. It's also a symbol of losing direction---- in the forest of modern life. Some more typical and offensive example can be easily found in this film. The symbol the revolutionary---- the picture of Mao (the f
