Foot Binding

Chinese Bound Feet(6) Chinese Bound Feet(5)

I always assumed that there was no one living today who had their feet bound.  What am I talking about?  Chinese foot binding, of course.  The practice was ended in 1912 so I always assumed that there was no one living today who had their feet bound.  Well, yesterday, I stumbled on this article at the Daily Mail of a lady who has bound feet.  I think it is interesting…we–well people there at least–can talk to this lady about what it was actually like.
