A NEW personality appeared on the Hong Kong scene in 1958 and, although merely a
merely a two- dimensional cartoon figure, rapidly gained popular affection including frequent mention in the affection—including Colony's press. She is Miss Ping On (or, in English, Miss 'Good Health') and she is possibly
unique in that part of her charm lies in the exhibition of her skeleton- the two characters which make her name Ping (4) On (*). The brain- child of the Urban Council Select Committee on Health, she was brought to life, clothed and is guided on her various adventures by the Publicity Section of the Public Relations Office. Month by month in colour posters, hand-bills and cinema slides, (a selection of which is shown here) she advises on the elementary rules of hygiene and good health.
