Slogan of time in Modern China

The red slogan reads "Thinking of the Hua Mulan, who can judge the woman is inferior to the man？" to remind people to discard the misconception which leads many families to want a boy no matter how many girls they already have. Hua Mulan is a legendary heroine from ancient China who wrote the Chinese poem known as the Ballad of Mulan. In the poem, Hua Mulan takes her aged father's place in the army. She fought for twelve years and gained high merit, but she refused any reward and retired to her hometown instead.[Photo by Ma Hongjie provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
