An illustration in an elementary school textbook in China is controversial.
The controversy started when a netizen posted on social media, 'Children's expressions in the illustrations in elementary school math textbooks are strange'.
It is that the eyes of the children in the illustration are far apart, and their eyes do not know where they are looking.
He also pointed out that each of them sticks out their tongues, which is weird.
There were also inappropriate illustrations.
There were also a number of illustrations that looked like sexual harassment, such as showing a girl's underwear playing with rubber bands exposed and a boy hugging a girl from behind.
Netizens criticized the education authorities for approving textbooks together with publishers, saying that the illustrations in question could instill wrong ideas in children.
The textbook illustration controversy was so high that it ranked first in search terms on Chinese portal sites.
Although the controversy seemed to have come to an end when the publisher announced that they would redraw the illustration, Chinese state media etc. are demanding a fact-finding investigation and punishment of those involved.
