Great Qing pill
来自China Digital Space
Dà Qīng yàowán 大清药丸
Riff on a line from Lao She's 1957 play "Teahouse," "The Great Qing is done for" (Dà Qīng yào wán 大清要完). The quotation is obscured by writing "done for" (yào wán 要完) as "pill" (yàowán 药丸). The phrase expresses indignation at the government and despair for China's future.
