"My life has been about finding a balance between the fashion world and my communist family," said Wan Baobao, a jewelry designer whose father Wan Jifei is a government minister. Her grandfather, Wan Li, is a former chairman of the National アルバイトPeople's Congress Standing Committee and former vice premier of the State Council.
