In July 1927, he advocated a social reform campaign called the "Heavenly Milk Movement". The main thrust of this movement is to call on women to free their breasts, throw away the "milk kerchiefs" that bind their breasts, and let them grow freely. This movement attracted widespread attention and discussion in the society at that time, and became an important part of the women's liberation movement.
In the social environment of the time, women's bodies were seen as intimate and sacred, and should not be bound by any objects. Therefore, even without a bra, women will not feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. Rather, they see it as a natural state of respect and protection for the female body.
In the ** period, women's underwear was not as rich and diverse as in modern times, especially since products such as bras had not yet appeared. Therefore, whether it is a lady from a famous family or a popular star, they will not choose to wear a bra when wearing a cheongsam. At that time, the most popular women's clothing was the cheongsam.
Cheongsam, a traditional costume derived from the Manchu people, showcases the graceful beauty of oriental women with its unique design and aesthetic concept. The cheongsam pays attention to the waist, the graceful curve, and the right cut, all of which make the cheongsam the favorite of women at that time. The women wearing cheongsams seem to have become the beauties in the painting, graceful and moving.
However, cheongsam is extremely demanding for women's figures, with a particular emphasis on the waist and curves. For many women with flat chests, the beauty of the cheongsam is undoubtedly compromised. In those days, a woman's figure was seen as a standard of beauty, and breasts were an important part of it.
As a result, many women are dissatisfied with their body shape and yearn for a way to compensate for it.
In the late 20s of the 20th century, with the introduction of Western culture, a new type of women's underwear began to become popular in China. This is what we call a "bra" today. At the time, bras were referred to as "prosthetic breasts", a name that may have some historical background and cultural connotation. It is believed to be a "prosthetic" existence that can help women shape a more perfect body.
And Ruan Lingyu, a superstar in the history of Chinese cinema, was also one of the first women to wear "prosthetic breasts". Her image and influence have undoubtedly accelerated the popularity and acceptance of "prosthetic milk" in China. The emergence of Ruan Lingyu has made more women begin to realize that the perfection of the body is not innate, but can be shaped through acquired efforts and choices.
Although the bra is now more sophisticated and versatile, its original purpose has not changed, which is to protect women's bodies and make them feel comfortable and confident when wearing them. This is similar to the women's perception of the body in the ** period.
In fact, whether it is the "Heavenly Milk Movement" of the ** period or the modern bra design, it is an important symbol of the women's liberation movement. They represent women's pursuit and insistence on their own rights, and also reflect the society's understanding and changes in women's status and role.
