Iron henchman (tietuo 铁托)
Name of the people frequenting the bar The Garden of Joy in Beijing around 1999-2000. Iron henchman or die-hard is a play on the Chinese name of Tito, the onetime dictator of former Yugoslavia and ally of China. In his slang-dictionary of the underground scene Yan Jun explains iron henchmen as ‘extremely loyal supporters’, and credits the out-of-towners of Tree Village for coining the term in 1999.[1]
