Why doesn't China have superhero movie? I agree that we don't have superhero stuff in China. Culturally speaking, Chinese people are more of collectivism that individualism. We value the harmony of the society. When telling a story, we are more likely to focus on the relationship between people than the people themselves. This is the reason that you cannot find a superhero novel in China despite our long history. For example, the major four classic novels in China all deal with a group of people. The Journey to the West is about a story of 1 monk and 3 humanoid characters; A Dream in Red Mansion is about a man with a bunch of women; Water Margin is about 108 bandits; and Roman of the Three Kingdom is about numerous people. Ideologically speaking, the Chinese government and lots of Chinese people are believers of Marxism. Marxism contains the doctrine of historical materialism, holding that the history is mainly created by the ordinary people, rather than one or two heroes. In other words, it is the people behind the scene that makes the history, while hero is just the last straw which breaks camel's back. If it was not George Washington, it would be Peter Washington. But nothing would be achieved without efforts of the ordinary people. That being said, nowadays, western superhero stuff is getting more and more popular among young folks in China because it is really cool. Therefore, I believe as the Chinese society gets more and more diverse, talented young folks will make a superhero of Chinese style sooner or later.
