Overheard “Nope. Still can’t afford them” … so writes a Weibo user when the news of price cuts at Gucci’s Chinese retail shops broke. As a result of a decrease in import taxes in China, the Italian luxury fashion house announced it would lower its prices by an average of 5 percent, effective July 6. Days earlier, Louis Vuitton and Hermes also imposed similar price reductions for their stores in the Middle Kingdom for the same reason. Most Chinese netizens, however, aren’t im- pressed with the miniscule drop, with some noting that luxury goods are still much cheaper to buy in Europe.

All this combined with its dynamic rock opera score earned RENT four Tonys and the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. “RENT was ahead of its time with its message,” says Tucker. “And people from all walks of life have stepped into the theater and accepted this story. It just shows how we should treat people with kindness and respect no matter how they choose to live their lives, because that’s not up to us at all.”

The two often act as de facto ambassadors for Ningxia wines, with Gao’s Ningxia heritage and Thierry’s family history of French winemaking lending them a collective measure of authority.
