  • What inspires people to make the ultimate sacrifice and set themselves on fire as a form of protest? Gusto explores the case of Mohamed Bouazizi, a fruit and veg vendor in Tunisia whose self-immolation triggered the Arab Spring, and compares it to the sacrifice of Liu Jin, a delivery driver who set himself alight in 2021 to demonstrate against the exploitative nature of the Chinese gig economy.
