First abolition of prostitution in China
Prostitution has flourished in China over the centuries. Only in 1949, with the revolutionary
success of the
communists, was a systematic effort made to destroy it once and for all. The ordinary Chinese
people have been
urged to lead a sexually pure life in the "new China." Prostitutes were "abolished" in 1949:
those who had musical
talents were trained to be actresses at the Peking Opera, while the rest were sent to work in
factories or on farms.
In 1953, dance halls were ordered to close and the dancing-girls were urged to follow the
example of the
erstwhile prostitutes.
