Movement hopes to remove stigma and provoke discussion. Yang Wanli reports.
Unlike most Chinese men, who consider menstruation a taboo or even dirty topic, 30-year-old Yang Pai describes it as an awesome thing that triggers feelings of respect and amazement in him.
He recalled the first time he saw period pain cause his mother to faint. He was 6 years old. I was shocked by its power. What was this terrible thing that could even beat my mother? he said.
