This is a poster I came across the other day while out exploring the city. It is part of a public awareness campaign to encourage first time parents to educate themselves about proper child rearing techniques. I am told that one problem is that most medicines here are available without prescriptions, so many new parents often mis-medicate their children. What struck me about the poster were the eyes and eyebrows of the parents. The artist missed something there, and instead of showing excited new parents, the poster unintentionally conveyed something much more sinister. Someone unfamiliar with Chinese might suspect the poster warned hungry parents not to resort to eating their children.
