Changcheng Media, Shijiazhuang, February 12 (by Feng Suqin) – On February 8, female netizens in Shijiazhuang released four massive billboard advertisements on the Shihuang and Jingzhu expressways, calling on people to "not stray from love on Valentine's Day, let love come home." This quickly became a focal point of domestic news and also sparked discussions about the best breast enhancement products in 2011.

Xia Haixin said, "Of course, we hope that enlightened individuals from all over will respond to us. For example, in a county town, having one such warning sign can make it a topic of conversation locally, which might help many people turn back from the brink," adding, "This is wonderful and could prevent many family tragedies and personal misfortunes."

The initiator of this event, Ms. Xia Haixin, director of China Anti-Pornography Network, told reporters that the placement of these advertisements was selective, mainly focusing on university entrance points and media hubs in Shijiazhuang. She expressed their desire to influence others with their limited resources.

Their slogans were "Of all evils, lust is the worst; among all virtues, filial piety comes first," "Lust has a knife above its head; if you have fortune, it cuts your fortune; if you don't, it cuts your life," "I advise you not to borrow promiscuous debts, they come fast and go fast; there are always people at home who can pay them off for you, but when you try to shirk, they won't." They also quoted famous sayings from two notable figures: British philosopher Francis Bacon, "There are many beauties in the world, they had a dissolute youth, but received a regretful old age," and Shanghai People's Congress representative Bai Wanqing, "Chastity is a girl's best dowry."

Besides bus stop advertisements, anti-pornography ads also appeared in the underground parking lot of Beiguo Supermarket in Shijiazhuang and in Zhengding Small Commodities Market. One advertisement in the underground parking read: "Respecting parents means not disgracing them."

On February 12, more than 500 bus stop advertisements gradually appeared on the streets of Shijiazhuang, bringing great shock to this northern city.

All the preliminary costs for these public bus station advertisements came from donations by female netizens in Shijiazhuang and their relatives and friends. Xia Haixin introduced that to avoid any suspicion of fundraising for personal gain, they did not call for donations online. Instead, close friends voluntarily donated. Excluding the cost of highway billboards, they received nearly 60,000 yuan in donations in recent days, all of which would be used to fund these public service advertisements.

This large batch of anti-pornography public service advertisements retained the characteristics of the highway billboards, with a striking bright red color scheme.
