Prostitutes, from a rhetorical point of view, specifically refer to people who are engaged in the sex industry, which are the so-called "turtle men" and "turtle women" in the common saying; prostitutes originally referred to "female pleasures", and later specifically referred to women who were forced to sell their sex. The prostitution system has lasted for thousands of years in our country, and it still flourished during the Republic of China.
?? In the semi-colonial and semi-feudal old China, due to frequent wars and the people's desperation, a group of desperate women were forced to have sex; due to the invasion of foreign powers, the concessions became a place harboring filth and evil, which was a sign of the trend of prostitution. Moreover, due to the decadent rule of the Kuomintang government, a large number of party and government officials used brothels as "gold sales dens" and "entertainment venues", and collected "flower donations" as one of the important financial sources, thus making sex public and legal. Therefore, since the late Qing Dynasty, the prostitution industry has become increasingly popular, and the popularity of prostitution has become increasingly fierce. From prosperous cities to rural towns, from the southeastern coast to remote provinces, there are colorful flags and brothels everywhere. One Kuomintang official even said: "What city would it be without prostitutes? "It's really: "There is no market without prostitutes."
