TONGHAI COUNTY, CHINA – APRIL 2: (CHINA OUT) 82-year-old bound feet woman Fu Jifen, displays “Three Cuns Golden Lotus” shoes she made at Liuyi Village on April 2, 2007 in Tonghai County of Yunnan Province, China. “Three Cuns Golden Lotus” is a term used to describe ancient Chinese women’s bound feet, in which three “cuns” are about 3.39 inches. Liuyi Village is known as the “Bound Feet Women Village,” where over 100 female senior citizens with bound feet and over the age of 70 live. The Chinese custom of foot binding under the feudalization, which started during the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) , was discontinued in the early 20th century. (Photo by China Photos/Getty Images)
