Photo exhibition
Once a symbol of beauty and status, foot binding, also known as golden lotus feet, was carried out in ancient China, falling out of favor in the early 20th century before it was outlawed in 1911.
Photos of the last remaining women who underwent the painful foot binding are on display.
Shenzhen photographer Qin Junxiao took photos over 18 years (1986-2004) of Chinese women who underwent foot binding in Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu and Yunnan. He had taken photos of 600 women and the oldest woman with bound feet in his collection was Liu Shaoyun (1897-2003) in Henan Province.
The photos at the exhibition were taken in Qujing, Yunnan Province in 2004.
