Was he also
part of the funeral procession?
The photo is about an advertisement
Hi there,
The words on the object read Women's pill, which was supposed to be some sort of Chinese medicine or supplements.
I am uncertain if it has anything to do with the funeral though.
Best Regards,
T
re: Hong Kong, boy
Thanks T - I think it was probably just a mobile advertisement then, rather than anything connected to the funeral.
I'd linked it in my mind with the lanterns in the fuenral procession, but looking at them more carefully, they were much larger than this one.
Gynecological pills
The boy was holding a mobile ad. for gyny pills. The white ball represented the wax capsule that held the individual pills inside. The figure on top had what looked like a socket for a light bulb in her right hand and an opened clamshell-type thing in her left hand with 2 toddler figures inside, with one piggybacked on the other.
