During the summer vacation of this year, the outer wall of the West Kowloon Center in Sham Shui Po was hung with six sexy girl "GOODGIRL" advertisements created by local cartoonist Lin Xiangkun. The DAB district councillors complained about "bad consciousness", and few of the paintings were removed.
Afterwards, Lin Xiangkun emphasized that the reason for the "removal" was related to the wind, but this has caused repercussions.
On the day before yesterday (24th), the exterior wall "changed paintings" with another local cartoonist Gan Xiaowen's "Er Chuang" Lin Xiangkun's paintings.
Around midnight today (26th), three of the old "GOODGIRL" paintings were re-displayed in the shopping mall, which contrasted with Gan Xiaowen's three paintings. Lin Xiangkun was present all the time, and dozens of citizens were there to support and "check in."
Lin Xiangkun emphasized that there has been coordination with the shopping malls, and new paintings are more likely to be released next month.

At about 11:30 late last night, three of the old paintings were re-displayed in the shopping mall. They were not completed until nearly 1:30 this morning. During this period, Lin Xiangkun himself was present to monitor the whole process, and more than 20 citizens came to support and "check in." When the painting was raised, people cheered and applauded.
Lin Xiangkun said that he has been coordinating with shopping malls, and there are six new paintings planned to be released in November, and he plans to cooperate with more artists.
However, the new paintings need to be reviewed by the Obscene Articles Tribunal, so three old paintings have been re-displayed during this period, and Gan Xiaowen’s "Second Creation" paintings are also displayed. "Some people have not seen it last time, and they don’t want to feel bored. So I buried Xiaowen as a guest!"
As for the old paintings, the DAB district councillors complained of "bad consciousness". He thinks that the other party's imagination is too rich and should be "learned" because there are many similar works of art in foreign countries.

This summer, the exterior wall of the West Kowloon Center was replaced with six new advertisements of the "GOODGIRL" series with the theme of sexy girls. They were designed by well-known Hong Kong cartoonist Lin Xiangkun. The advertisements were printed with "Don’t Forget Your Original Heart", "Good Times" and "Make Your "dreams happen" slogan.
Lin Xiangkun said that the projects that he has cooperated with shopping malls since four years ago have been sent to the Obscene Articles Tribunal for review, and the "GOODGIRL" series and future new works are no exception.
However, on the 8th of this month, Liu Peiyu, a member of the Sham Shui Po District Council of the DAB, claimed to have received a large number of complaints from parents, alleging that the girl in the advertisement was exposed to clothing and had bad consciousness. He and the community officer Chen Yingxin went to the mall to petition and demanded the removal of the advertisement.
On the 12th of this month, related advertising paintings were taken down. Netizens described the West Kowloon Center as "kneeling down." Lin Xiangkun emphasized at the time that the paintings were taken down because of the wind blowing the next day and safety issues, indicating that related paintings would not be "taken off the shelves."
The night before (24th), the West Kowloon Center replaced another local cartoonist, Gan Xiaowen, imitating Lin Xiangkun’s original paintings. With his own unique style, he drew the characters "Fat Po Four", "Shao Yazhen" and " "Bag", some netizens left messages saying "good job" and "want to check in crazy."
