Chinese Tuesdays: Don't do drugs
This anti-drug poster was on the wall of the men’s shower room at a hot springs in Lindian, Heilongjiang, the hometown of a co-worker. There were several posters actually, making me wonder how prevalent drug use is there, but I liked this one due to the creative use of the character 毒 (dú), which means poison or narcotics. Having said that, I would have used a syringe instead of a knife.
The writing on the bottom, 珍爱生命 远离毒品 (zhēn'àishēngmìng yuǎnlídúpǐn) means “Cherish life, stay away from drugs.”
