    Watch it for several times! Nice video. Never thought it was a campaign before. I love carrying my water bottle with hot water every day. It’s safe and healthy. Thx Long!!

      Oh yeah. I never expected there would be this much history for hot water in China. Thanks for watching the video!

    It turns out that there are so many stories about drinking hot water. You have worked hard to collect information. This is the first time I have seen such a detailed explanation. It is not easy for China to achieve what it is today after many years of suffering and wars. It can be seen that Chinese people are constantly paying attention to health. Drinking hot water in winter is particularly comfortable. Drinking hot water after meals can promote digestion. Women drinking hot water can relieve dysmenorrhea.

      You're right. It wasn't an easy task. I think using posters since the 50s was an effective way at communicating public health messages. Not just for promoting boiled water, but also for getting rid of pests, fighting different illnesses like malaria and pushing for vaccination. I was really surprised at how detailed yet simple these posters were.

    Nice summary! One more point was during the Korean War when the US slided in bioweapons such as plagues near the borders, therefore, it turned into a national campaign to always boil the drinking water.

      Good point Zhuowei! I've seen a few of these posters during my research. They helped shape up the patriotic dimension of the early public health campaigns. Thanks for sharing.

    Tea houses in China were as many as cafes in West cities.

    • @longinchina

      Apparently tea houses appeared in China sometime in the year 700, much earlier than the first cafe which was in the 1400s in what is known as Istanbul.

    I think the campaign in 1934 isn't totally failure. Because it's all what my grandpa teach his offspring and than to me. And my grandpa leave China in 1940s. So maybe it's work to some extent 😅😅

      Thank you for sharing this story! The 1934 campaign did have some sway among certain groups; I was reading women's committees and youth activities were organized. But what I meant by "failure" was that the campaign did not have a widespread impact and did not lead to a change of behavior on a societal level.
