“When I first heard about The Vagina Monologues, I was shocked. I thought, how could someone give a play a name like that?” says Xiao Hang. That was five years ago, when Xiao Hang was, by her own admission, “mainstream and quite conservative.” But after volunteering for an NGO in her sophomore year at college, she began to see society through a different lens. She no longer thinks, as she once did, that “it isn’t elegant to talk about your vagina in public.” In fact, she thinks it’s vital to.
Written in English, Chinese and Korean, the messages ranged from “My vagina says: I want freedom” and “My vagina says: I want respect” to “My vagina says: You need to be invited to get in.” The images were soon reposted on Sina Weibo and picked up by local media outlets, who focused on the girl’s “confessions.” A video of the images received over 2 million views on Sina.
