p.1 #1 · golden lotus

For over a thousand years, the feet of young girls were broken and bound
to attain the three inch "golden lotus" ...and good marriage prospects.

It is said that two million Chinese women over the age of 70
are still living with the results of this debilitating custom.

Yes, humans... a cruel race.

The girls were taught by their mothers to sew their own lotus shoes,
embellished with delicate embroidery.

A beautiful facade to cover the painful truth.
