When did bras enter China?

Republic of China period

After the fall of the Manchu government, China ended its feudal society, and with the end of the Revolution of 1911, western culture began to come to China. Bras are one of them.

In modern China, with the spread of western learning to the east, new women's education developed. Around western learning and Xinhai, a number of influential new intellectual women emerged in the society.

They care about state affairs, revitalize girls' schools, set up newspapers and periodicals, set up women's organizations, run industries, join in the anti-Qing revolution, and strive for equal rights between men and women, so that the women's world presents an active atmosphere. Therefore, the awakening of women became the most beautiful scenery in China at that time.
