Yes, Tor does work, but imperfectly. Almost all public Tor relays have been blocked in China, so with default setup, it's almost impossible to connect to Tor network.
In order to connect to Tor network, we need to request a Tor bridge, and the process takes a bit extra time.
And Tor has its inborn limitations: Slow speed, no security/privacy guaranteed, and a long period of time it takes to find a network.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
