the second pairs

Just added the second pairs of difference between past and present. 

These pairs is talking about the marriage form and it shows the difference between the different ages.

past and present Chinese female's lives

After considered problems may cause by the previous topic, I decided to make my topic become clear and simple, also avoid things might related to racial and politics.

My idea is making pairs of images to compare the difference and similar points between past and present Chinese female's lives. It is not only because I am a Chinese, but also China had a long history. I think it will be interesting to show the past and present life after thousands years till now. Although there's a lot of changes, still some customs stay.

Here is the list I wrote for the topic: (still working on it)

1. the value of marriage (past-gold and poultry; present-house and car)
2. the marriage form (past-a man can married with multiple women if he had enough power or wealth; present-one to one marriage)
3. education method (past-women can not go to school, instead learning embroidery and how to be a good wife; present-just like men, now we can go to school even work in company)
4. ......

Here is my first image for the value of marriage:

Starting with the first story

I am start with making the first short story, a story about holdout. The queen wants to build a path with roses beside, so the residents who lived on the plan of the path have to move away. However, there still some people don't want to move.

The story will told in two frames with up and down position. The upper frame will shows the soldiers are building the path and planting the roses. The lower frame will show soldiers with weapons are confrontation with people who don't want to move away.
