Abstract: This essay examines how the classical Chinese story of the Rabbit God has been reinterpreted in the global Chinese diaspora in recent years. Using the examples of Andrew Thomas Huang’s 2019 film The Kiss of the Rabbit God, the author’s 2024 poetry collection The Passion of the Rabbit God, and artist FJ’s Rabbit God performance at the ‘We Are LGBTQIA+ ESEA’ exhibition held in 2025, the article showcases some creative ways in which the Rabbit God story has been reimagined for cultural and political purposes, advocating an open and undogmatic approach to queer Chinese identity and heritage.
