The 29-year-old is now one of the countrys most well-known comedians, having risen to fame in recent months on a Chinese television show called Rock and Roast. Every week, in front of a national audience of millions, she addresses controversial gender issues using a style unfamiliar to many Chinese viewers - stand-up comedy. Shes attracted a huge following, but her punchlines havent landed well with everyone - and now Yang is facing the biggest backlash of her career. In a December episode she talked about telling a male comedian her new jokes. He replied that she was testing mens limits. Do men even have limits? Yang sarcastically asked, triggering a fresh wave of criticism. There is little doubt that Yangs jokes have prompted fresh debate in China, where both the feminist movement and stand-up comedy are relatively new cultural phenomena. Its not that humour has been absent in Chinese culture. Xiangsheng, Chinas comedy tradition, has been popular in the country for over a century. In this format, the audience watches and laughs as two comedians poke fun at each other. But when audience members themselves become the butt of the joke - as they sometimes are in Western stand-up comedy routines - some Chinese may not find it quite so funny. In the West, stand-up comedy is about challenging and offending the audience, authorities or social norms, Tony Chou, comedian and owner of Beijing comedy club Humour Section, tells the BBC. But this is still largely seen as rude or disrespectful by some in China. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.punchline [?p?nt?la?n] n. ______________________________ 2.controversy
