The Death Of Celebrity . Or The Trump Era Ended .
Imagine walking through a mall and seeing a scientist's face instead of a movie star 😲 In cities across China giant billboards and digital screens once filled with celebrity ads now display portraits of scientists like Qian Xuesen Tu Youyou and Yuan Longping. This public campaign started in Shandong and has since spread to Anhui Henan and Inner Mongolia. People even stop to take photos with these portraits.
This shift says something powerful about what a nation chooses to celebrate 🔬 Studies show children in the US and UK often dream of becoming influencers while children in China dream of becoming astronauts. It makes you wonder who deserves to be on the biggest screen in your city ✨
