In August, Li Hebiao, a follower of China’s most famous stand-up comedian Guo Degang, was arrested and held for 7 days in administrative detention for punching BTV reporter Zhou Guangfu. Deyunshe, China's popular stand-up troupe, closed for self-inspection. On the following day, two comedians of Deyunshe, He Yunwei and Li Jing, declared their intentions to quit the troupe on their blogs.
