花200亿建高铁站，撞脸“卫生巾”？网友评论神了！（讲解版）| E0422

▍原文

The proposed design of a train station in the Chinese city of Nanjing has attracted the attention of internet users—for all the wrong reasons.

Authorities say the design takes inspiration from plum blossoms. But online, others are pointing out its resemblance to something rather different—a sanitary pad.

"I think we should take this chance to call for society to pay attention to period shaming. This design is ahead of its time," one user joked.
