Sadistic Customs/Rituals That Injure and Kill Countless People
A beauty that cost broken bones, blood, and a lifetime of pain. This was foot binding in China, a brutal practice that marked entire generations of women. From the age of 4 or 5, thousands of girls were subjected to intentional fractures of their foot bones, which were then wrapped with increasingly tighter bandages to force them into a tiny, arched shape known as "lotus feet." Over time, the toes curled inward and the heel curved forward, resulting in feet no taller than 10 centimeters.
This mutilation was not a rarity, but a symbol of status, femininity, and obedience in imperial China, especially among the upper classes, where reduced mobility was considered a sign that a woman did not need to work.
The small, intricately embroidered slippers called "lotus shoes" were more art than footwear, designed to beautify what was in reality a permanent open wound. Although it may seem unthinkable today, this tradition remained alive for more than a thousand years until it was finally banned in 1912, leaving behind indelible physical and cultural scars.
