What’s the point? In the future, you can put it into your husband’s nostrils, and you can give the husband a special “honeyhouse music.”
High pain warning ahead! The following are true and cruel and contain multiple photographs.
Through the life of the daughter Zhou Yumei, born in the Republic, the history of the Chinese women in the old society was revealed.
I. HOLDING
Five years, in 1916, Shandong Leyang.
The first fall, the 5-year-old girl Zhou Yumei, came to a dark moment in her life.
From that year until she passed away in 1992, she had not been able to walk her whole life, but had had a short “happiness” over her small feet, and had suffered untold humiliation and suffering over her entourage.
On the 24th of August, the Day of the Little Foot Girl, a day passed down from the old generation, was called the Day of the Little Foot.
Zhou Yumei did not see the legendary little foot girl, but met her own aunt, a beautiful woman in her twenties, with small feet on her feet.
Because of the mother’s early death, her father-in-law’s second wife was always unsatisfied with her, and Zhou Yumei was always close to her aunt.
But this time, my aunt’s purpose was to give Jade a foot.
That’s what Yumei knew, and her father told her from the moment he beat her up: every woman will have this day!
At the time, Shantung were aesthetics of beauty: white, dark, small.
Standard beauty photos.
Zhou Yumei has been a beautiful child since he was a child, and she is a rich family who has raised long-serving people in the village, and she is more demanding.
It is necessary not only to be seen as an ugly woman, but also to be rejected and not married.
Since ancient times, entanglement customs, which do not distinguish between the north-east and the south-west, the rich and the poor, have been the most important condition for the “Han women’s beauty” that has been recognized by society as a whole.
Zhou Yumei had two brothers, and her mother died of illness after giving birth to her brother.
Without her mother’s mother, the “heavy duty” of her foot fell on her aunt.
That day, my aunt brought with her a great burden, and there was a great variety of things in it.
There are several blue strips, two inches wide and three or four feet long, which are used to entangle the feet; there are also several pairs of shoes of different sizes, a pile of cotton, a large can of china, a corrugated needle, a large bag of ointment, a sharp pair of scissors and knives.
Jade’s father went inside and looked at the tools, noded with satisfaction, and said to her aunt: “Steal up and make her a good girl!” * And then I turned around and walked out.
Even a poor girl’s rags must be covered.
Aunt Yumei sat on a small bench, brought her a large bowl of hot water, opened a straw bag, squeezed out a piece of brown ointment, opened it in hot water, and let the plums fall on her feet.
When Yumei washed her feet, and while the remaining temperature on her feet had not spread, her aunt quickly wiped out her feet with a cloth and then pulled her other toes than the big toes.
Jade can’t forget the sound of her toes. It hurts, but it’s unbearable.
Throughout the process, aunts looked at each other with their mouths, their eyes and their eyes, as if they were carrying out a very great task, unlike they usually laughed at her.
Immediately thereafter, she took out a large red cloth, and asked Yumei to step on its feet, and to pull out a slide (acting with a modern chalk) to sculpt the contours of a tiny foot.
It was only years later that Yumei became a “last memory” of a normal person.
The aunt opened the large jar, pouring out some white powder, carefully covering between the young toes and the cracks.
It’s called Ming Tung, which is used to contain skin and prevent inflammation.
After all this, Yumei was kept in the dark and unaware of the impending torture that accompanied his life.
It’s in my aunt’s toes, and she’s screaming. Bend inside the bottom.
Jade was in pain. She knew nothing but small feet, but she didn’t know the pain.
My aunt held the jade, and took up the cloth on it, and strung it on her feet, and said, “Became!” Don’t move, it’ll be all right! I’m sorry.
How can you listen to Jade Mei and cry out, “Show your hands! It hurts!
Perhaps she waited outside the door long enough not to be a “bad person” and then appeared to hold Zhou Yumei’s thin body tight and kept her from moving.
The aunt’s hands and feet were sorely entangled and her needles were sealed.
“Among-sama has lost his mother, and in order to flaunt his own feet, he is not as lucky as you.” You’ll be able to live with it forever! “I’m not sure what I’m talking about.
In fact, this move, called “tightening” , is only the beginning of a painful process, followed by a variety of procedures, such as shrouding, thinness and bending, which will become more cruel, but none of them told Yumei.
A girl with tears in her eyes.
When Leyyang suffered from the frost, the village suffered from famine as a result of the heavy taxes imposed on it, and, together with the footing of Jade Mae, the aunt and uncle came to live at the Tame’s house for two and a half years.
Auntie helped her with the housework and her father helped her with the work.
On the night of the foot, my aunt slept with Jade. This night, Jade’s feet were covered with red “sleeping shoes”, and their feet were sore that they couldn’t sleep, and the lower legs were as hot as fire, and she was sobbing at her aunt’s skirt: “Please, please, let go of your feet! I’m sorry.
But she did not let her cry, but she kept touching her head, whispering, saying, “O Yumei, bear with it, and when she wants to marry, the future mother-in-law looks after her feet. Your face is born, but your feet are in the back. It’s all on your feet. Your mother would hate me if she knew I was soft down there! I’m sorry.
I was snorting, I got up, I lighted up, I smoked, and I couldn’t breathe.
“Your mother’s gone, and your aunt’s in this house, and if you cry again, you’ll be in trouble.” I’m not sure I’m going to do this.
Yumei has been afraid of her mother since she was a kid, because she has taught her father many times.
My aunt warned Yumei, “Get away from her feet and not touch her, or it will hurt even more!” I’m sorry.
It lasted three days, and the pain of Jade Mae was so weak, it was almost impossible to lay down, and it was all done by my aunt.
Three days later, my aunt took the line off her feet, looked at the deformed toes, noded with satisfaction, put the powder on her again and re-covered it, just this once, more powerful than ever!
Yumei’s heart is shaking and her voice is dumb. She doesn’t know why she always loves her aunt so much!
She heard that brother-in-law said there was an 18-story hell torture in the vagina.
But no matter how hard she resists, her feet are getting harder and harder. Eight toes are stepped under your feet, and every time they touch it, it hurts!
Five stages of entanglement.
Not to mention, the aunt began to hold on to the plums, saying that if she did not walk repeatedly, her feet would be bad and vulnerable to illness.
But every step of the way, it hurts like hell!
To keep Yumei from crying out loud and upset her family, she put a handkerchief in her mouth to keep her quiet.
During this period, even the second brother, who always loved her, did not come to visit her.
And so she said to Yumei, “The big toes are alone, but don’t go up or down like the rest of them!” Otherwise, you’ll have a bad habit of walking on your heels. I’m sorry.
This is not yet the worst form of torture. A few days later, the cloth was removed again, the feet of Jade Mae were crushed with blood on their backs and they were coloured.
The toe starts with an eye on the chicken, it hurts and it tickles, and then it cuts off with a needle.
She put her feet in hot water with anointed water, washed her blood and dried it up again and again and again!
It’s a pain in the ass that Jade can’t forget forever. The washing of her feet is like burning with a hot carbon. Yum Mei cried his voice so dumb that he almost went back a few times.
This is the old man from the northern countryside, whose purpose is to break his bones in order to make a fine three inches of gold.
Little foot girl.
When Jade’s crying was decreasing, her mother and father came and watched her feet grow smaller and satisfied.
She even said in front of Tamei’s father: “If you don’t get dressed properly, you don’t wash it, you’ll have a bad foot and a scar on your feet. The first day after your marriage, the husband will find out, he will hate you, he will give you up, and no one will care about you! I’m sorry.
I didn’t think he’d noded after listening.
At that moment, the plum’s throat was sour and tears came out again. She wants to kiss her mother. If she’s here, she won’t suffer.
A few months later, the feet of the Jade plum were completely deformed, and when they touched the soles of their feet, they had become flat and flat, and as the wraps of their feet became tighter, their backs were bent higher, their heels were altered, next to their front soles, with only one gap in the middle.
During this period, Tamei had numerous fevers and his feet continued to stink. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I’ve lost weight.
The Zhou family changed its way of giving her soup pills to give her an appetite-trigger.
And fried eggs with perfume and gave her white sugar.
You know how precious it was to eat in times of famine.
The skin on the back of the Jade plume’s feet ranged from bleeding, ulceration, to scabies, bleeding, to the end of it, to the absence of flesh, and became thinner, as if only bones were left.
Six months later, the back of the foot became a bow, and there was almost no gap between the front and the back of the foot, and Jade plum looked at her feet as smelly and black, like a pair of roasted goat hoofs, and did not know where to look.
X-ray deformed bones
In fact, this state of affairs is called “crashing” and it means breaking the soles of the feet, but it’s not over, and the real standard can’t exceed three inches, i.e. entangling “three inches of gold” for six months.
The end foot length is about 2 inches, 8 inches, that is, not more than 10 centimetres, of course, the smaller, the smaller, the more beautiful.
Not only are they small, they have to be thin, and the last two feet become the “New Moon” to qualify. It’s so small, it’s so delicate, it’s so beautiful. The Shanxi woman’s feet are said to be as small as 5 or 6 centimetres!
It will take two full years to wrap your feet, during which time it will be repeated, with the eyes of the chicken, the nails cut, the scabs removed, the feet washed, the baptism, the glucose polish or the sugar. Until the puss are gone, the raisins fall, they become smooth and white.
Their feet are wrapped in the hands of adult women (not counting the length of their fingers).
The feet caught against the feet of a normal girl.
Big toes have to be singled out, special, not just thin, but sharp. In the future, you can put it into your husband’s nostrils, and you can give her a special “honeyhouse.”
It was only at that time that Zhou Yumei was not told these until she grew up and taught her a complete “baby skills” to please her husband.
The younger the woman’s feet, the younger she gets.
Why are women’s feet smaller and more beautiful in Shanxi? Because they use more cruel tools: bamboo.
Scrambling scribbles of polished bamboo are entwined with skin, resulting in thinner feet and less flesh, known as “bones’ feet”.
It’s enough to look at the word “bones’ feet” to remind people of the chilling images.
If any girl resists and fails to obey, she will be scolded by his mother: “Feed is a wave!” You want to be ashamed of yourself forever?”
In order to thaw the most standard little feet, there are others who have obtained secret formulas from prostitutes to scrape herbal herbs, such as lactose, Kawasu and musk, which are said to make the bones soft and to squeeze them.
In the end, it’s a small foot that is “shaped.”
And finally, the little white feet.
In the end, the foot of Yumei became the father’s satisfactory length: only one cigarette was as long.
But the pain is not over, and the side effects and after-effects of entanglement will accompany the woman’s life.
When I grew up, Zhou Yumei knew what the real “value” of the feet was and what the purpose of the foot was.
Marriage
Since the start of the fight, Yumei’s room has often smelled strange.
Say it stinks and wears herbs.
The feet were always covered with feet, not even when they were sleeping, but with sleeping shoes. Can’t a deformed pair of feet be suffocated with countless springs, summers and winters?
In order to cover up the smell of this, it is necessary to wash feet, bubble feet, change cloths, and also to wipe herbal balm. But it’s turned into a fragrance.
It is said that there are many men who like this taste and if they smell it, there is an uncalled for impulse.
They wash their feet regularly, wash them and then “slurp them” and make them “plaster them.” After washing, it is not possible to hang in the yard because the cloth is extremely private and cannot be seen by the men in the family (except their husbands).
If you tan your feet in the sun, you’ll be humiliated.
As a result, it was only possible to draw a rope in its own house or dry it on its back.
Those poor girls who do not have a single room in their homes have to find a covert rag dryer.
Zhou Yumei’s feet were her wedding night when she was first exposed to her aunt and herself.
Yumei, 16 years old, died of his father’s death and his brother was arguing about the separation.
Big brother was married and took his brother and Yumei to the smoking counter, and he had the largest share of the family.
Erniang, having never had a child, only received a small share of his family’s property and took him away.
But no one thought that a 13-year-old brother, Mao Shing, had been sold by his mother to a distant relative at the Dalianvale House to be a son and a labourer. It was not until more than half a century before our brothers and sisters met.
After they moved to the smoke pavilion, the brother moved them to the temple in the Chishi district, where they were selling seafood.
There was not only an open stage but also a temple of dragons, a temple of queens of the sea, and all kinds of businesses.
North side is seafood market and dock.
Second brother went to secondary school to continue his studies, and Yumei became married.
The shop is supposed to be in the care of the older brother, who does not need food from his family at noon, and is surrounded by a noodle shop.
But that summer, he said he was too hot to eat, he had to drink sea cool powder made by his wife, so Yumei always sends it.
The plumes, which were woven at home, were very reluctant to walk on their small feet every day to feed their brothers.
Why not?
Because Jade Mae is not just white and beautiful, he walks the road and he walks in a position where the men who go through the road have their eyes straight.
The market for seafood is full of men who, when there are no customers at noon, sit in the street and eat in the shadows, and when they see the plum coming far, they get high, even the whistling ponchos, and they say, “Little girl, raise your pants and legs and show us your little feet!” I’m sorry.
Every time Yumei tries to get a sew in it.
Ever since I was in the middle of a fight, Yumei has learned to walk with her aunt.
You have to learn to walk?
Not only do you have to learn, but you have to practice for a long time!
The girls of the Big House have to learn a lot of “Liantro” from their childhood to their age.
It’s for “Lian’s steps are generous and you’re a matchmaker.”
In order to be able to marry rich people in the future, walking postures become extremely important.
Although the Yumei family had gradually fallen, her daughter had to enter the family as a junior grandmother, which was one of her father ‘ s last wishes.
Since the weight of the body is concentrated behind the feet, it is the right hand, the waist, the movement, and the balance of the journey.
The steps between the feet cannot exceed half a foot (16 cm) and must go straight, and the knee must run ahead, or it becomes a lap, walking around like a duck.
This is an easy walk in the eyes of the modern world and is a torture for women who have feet.
Because of the lack of development of the feet after entanglement, the body is developing, and the deformation of the feet, combined with the small size of the ground where the feet are exposed, makes it difficult to stand normally.
If you want to take a good road, you have to push your spine forward, and you have to practice long and painfully before you can get out of the Lotus Step, and you have to experience numbness and swelling from the tip of your foot to the calf.
How many of the girls from the regular family go out and show their faces? Only a prostitute who has been deliberately trained can pick up guests on the side of the road.
20s whores with small feet.
It is precisely so that the plumes, with their soft waist limbs and their swaying positions, attract the eyes of countless men.
And here’s the family of the “Bish cucumbers”, Master Tomobi.
The boss is real and rich, and his family is famous for selling sea cucumbers.
He can’t read a few words, but he likes it. There are three main interests in life: listening to books, watching plays, having small feet.
One wife, two concubines, one is smaller than the other.
Grand Master Pilgrim followed Yumei and thought she was an example of “a perfect woman”. But it was not he who wanted to take Yumei, but to make his wife’s wife’s daughter-in-law.
And that’s what Brother Yumei’s plan was. He’s already heard that Grand Master Bie likes small feet and knows the advantages of his sister. So the trick to send Yumei to the store was he designed it to make this “funner” at home. If your sister can marry him, he can follow him.
Brother Yumei and Grand Master Bie are together and they’ve made a button in order to get their dicks to see Yumei.
On the 15th day, Yumei, led by her sister-in-law, went to the Temple of the Goddess of the Sea to burn incense.
When the smoke was around, Jade Mae kneeled on the mattress, and the little feet in the bloated red embroidery shoes were shown out of the trunks of the thongs on the green side of the pavilion, and were seen in the trueness of the penis, hiding on the side of the temple pillar.
Like his father, he’s a perfect “Lian fan” and a senior foot lover. Then I look away, and my heart shivers: Good feet! My father’s eyes are so poisonous!
In fact, this is one of the 18 kinds of “three inches of gold” created by the fans.
Littlefoot.
There are ten men of colour, and some of them have their feet full, and some of them are small, and they have different shapes.
And “Flored Lotus” is the top of the list of the leprechauns, whose backs are even more stylish, like the diamond horn.
In a month’s time, the Pilgrim saloon brought Jade into the door.
On the day of the wedding, the first thing that B.I. said to Yumei, “Take off your shoes and look at your feet!” I’m sorry.
And his feet were covered, and his white and small feet covered in plums smelt under his nose and smelled and smelled, and he was intoxicated, so he could swallow into his belly, and how was his mouth? I’m sorry.
Pineline.
The next thing I want to do, Yumei has long been familiar with her heart, and she has been told so many times to please her husband with a “porture” that he can find a place at her home with his little feet.
After the marriage, Jade Maeko truly lived her life, and his family was humbled by his love for her and his love for her, and she was grateful for her harshness.
But not long after the good days, when Jade was 19 years old, the problem with Beji was revealed. He’s a big smoker, who smokes too much smoke, hurts his lungs, and suffers from a plague, which is what modern people call tuberculosis.
The disease is difficult to cure when it is in the country, and it is tantamount to a terminal disease.
For fear of infection, the couple had to sleep in separate rooms, while Jade was pregnant.
The cold winter month, the birth of Yumei, the birth of a girl, made Big Two angry!
I thought it was too late to get a son and a daughter.
Beeji dragged his body into the house, dragged his hair, and did something crazy: He dragged the jade to the stove, scolding and kicking, “You unchallenging bitch!” You’re killing me! I’m sorry.
Come on, you’re pulling Jade’s hair, and you’re killing her.
All I heard was hissing, and Jade’s forehead was pressed on a hot stove, and he was burned out of the smell!
Yumei was protected by the sea, but left a small scar.
That night, the baby girl, later known as Bee Yunfang, was put under the bed and slept for one night so that she could cry and not sleep in the arms of her mother.
This practice, which is inherited from the old generations, is carried out in the family home, where the woman intending to be born is inferior, and from the moment of birth, the relationship of superiority and inferiority between men and women is understood.
Not after New Year’s. Baez didn’t survive. Dead.
Yumei’s life with her daughter is getting sad. Owing to the absence of a separate family, the orphan and widow-mother-in-law were often bullied by the daughter-in-law.
Big Brother, Zhou Yumei and that little girl will have to split up if the old man dies, and they’ll never leave their families behind!
So Big and his wife decided to persuade Zhou Yumei to marry him.
But Master Pil won’t agree when he finds out about it. It’s impossible to think about it! I’m still alive. How can I have my granddaughter with someone else’s last name?
But you said it wasn’t by chance, four years ago, and Mr. Bigg-up was killed by accident.
After Big Toying, 24-year-old Zhou Yumei got remarried and was expelled.
Yumei tried to resist, but he didn’t even talk to her.
III. Flailing
Zhou Yumei ‘ s second husband, who is of Haiyang ‘ s ancestral origin, is a reader from a poor farmer ‘ s family.
His name was Wang Chunyang and he was a poor teacher, but she was treated as a daughter by her mother.
Soon after the marriage, Wang Chunyang, who was educated on new ideas, urged Zhou Yumei to “stave” and free his feet.
It had been 1934, since the decade before the Qing Dynasty had ended, but there had been no real civilization.
Liang Kai-chul used to think that his foot “must be blamed for the persecuting of his sole husband.”
(a) Scumbags refer to the tyrants; the sole-husbands refer to the brutal rulers who have committed serious crimes against the people of the country;
The mean husband means a man who is greedy and depraved.
It is a torment imposed on women by men who perceive it as a result of the deformed aesthetics of male rulers.
Pineline.
And in the midst of the “favour-eating feudalism”, countless people have praised the beauty of this deformity without recognizing at all that it is a social injustice.
As a result, Liang Kai lamented that “a strong man’s head is less than a weak woman’s foot.”
For the first time in the country, “a major reform of customs” was introduced, and male braids were removed as an insult to the rule.
However, it is the tradition of the Han people themselves and has a close relationship with men’s “love of privacy” and is sensitive, and it can not be changed overnight.
During his reign in Henan, the warlord Feng Yuxiang launched a foot-leaving campaign to turn the culture of foot-tightness into a target for prosecution by the Public Service, but the foot-tight customs are still not declining.
For the decade, there were also local officials who imposed fines on women who were still entangled, but Zhou Yumei ‘ s location had not been affected.
It is reported that, during the period of implementation of the leachment policy, local county governments were ordered to pay a certain amount of old cloth on a monthly basis as a basis for evaluating the district ‘ s performance.
As a result, many county governors, in response to orders from their superiors, bought brand-new cloths from the community and exchanged long-term goods with women who were entangled.
In order to put an end to the entanglement of the decree, it turned into a free supply of new entanglements, which in essence contributed to the treachery.
Fragmented feet.
After the overthrow of Qing Dynasty, Sun Zhongshan officially ordered a ban on entangling. By the time of the campaign, he had been targeted by various revolutionary movements and radicals, including Chen Xiu-soo and Li Dae-hwan, who had written about the violence and oppression of women.
Until 20 years later, the National Assembly was set up to promote women’s natural feet, and a round of entanglements was distributed throughout the country.
However, both men and women have the Golden Lotus enthusiasts, and some women, in order to please men and avoid discipline, wear large-sized shoes that fit into them and pretend to be full of them.
Three Inches of Golden Lotus remain deformed after being released.
As a result of long entanglements, Zhou Yumei ‘ s legs are shrinking, making walking difficult. We can’t live without Grandma, we have to work outside, buy food and cook, but she can’t even stand up.
Emancipation of her feet was, of course, something she was happy to do, except that she had never thought that “failure” was torture.
After a day of liberalization, she fell and her feet were wrapped in a cloth for a long time, the meat became soft, the heart of her feet was sore that she was able to walk, and she was unable to maintain a balance.
Next, her feet began to swell up, and then she had a fever, which was painful.
It was only later that it became known that it could not be done overnight, that it had to be done slowly and that it had to be blistered with medicine.
It took Zhou Yumei more than a month to get used to it and, although his feet were liberated, he could never return to his original foot.
Because when the bone is deformed, the growth stops, so the length of the foot does not change. Although the feet are wide behind the feet and the dry toes are round, the whole deformity of the feet will not be restored.
Zhou Yumei, in addition to cooking, washing and cleaning his house every day, began knitting the edges with his legs on his legs and subsidizing the household.
Her skills are getting better and she even has foreign trade to sell from her.
I thought the day of peace would last long, and Wang Chun-yang was planning to have another baby.
I didn’t expect anything to happen.
IV. EMERGENCY
In 1938, the Japs came in and smoked the whole town.
The brutal burning and looting began, with the Japanese army establishing a pseudo-government, the Smoke Office, in the smoke plaque, and feeding a large number of agents to walk in the cities to arrest and kill underground members and anti-Japanese workers.
Wang Chunyang has come home early and late, and he’s unsettled, and Zhou Yumei has noticed something, asked many times and never asked why.
Until one day Wang Chunyang did not come home, Zhou Yumei asked around, and did not receive any information.
One night, Zhou Yumei got up and thought he was Wang Chunyang.
The second brother, who’s been separated for years, is the first word!
Yumei, pack your things and come with me. Wang Chun-yang is the underground party and was captured by the Japanese. Don’t get involved with you! I’m sorry.
Zhou Yumei’s brain was stung and started packing.
You know, the Japs throw bombs and sweep, and those they arrest are either buried alive or strangled, stabbed and even drowned.
That night, when she asked me where he had been for years, she barely remembered that the child had been scared and cried, that he had not even laid up, and that he had left with him.
Zhou Yumei’s little feet were already gone, he couldn’t even go, and his daughter was driven away by a two-wheel board car.
Second Brother sent her girls to a friend’s house overnight, and the next day, they were on their way, on a boat, and they were sent to a man named “Si”. The small island of Zao Island, which is sparsely populated and surrounded by the sea, has lived in secret farming.
During this period, he visited only twice, and Yumei repeatedly asked him what he was living on.
When he came back the second time, he told Yumei that a restaurant had been taken over by the Japs on the main road, which contained large bottles of glass, with the heads of the anti-Japanese underground parties and the 8th Street Army.
Zhou Yumei has been struck by lightning! In any event, she has no power to return to the heavens.
With his savings, Zhou Yumei barely lived with his children, but soon the money was spent. She made several acres of land on the island and lived on the island on the aid of the village ‘ s quiet neighbour.
As the first half of her life was not physically occupied, the door was not able to leave, and Zhou Yumei was working in the first place, and he could not do it alone, so that her daughter grew up and understood things and could share them.
Zhou Yumei had wrinkles on her face, blackened like the fisherman’s women on the island, whose feet were still deformed and weak and were the biggest obstacle to her self-reliance.
She realized that she hated this era of oppression of women, that she hated all the pain she had brought after being entangled in her feet, that countless times she fell into the cornfield, and that she thought of dying, but then crawled up for the sake of her children.
The woman in the foot.
When I was 15, my second brother appeared.
Second Brother told Yumei that Japan is dead, and the 8th Street Army liberated the smoke pedals from Japan’s hypocrites through seven days and seven nights of heavy fighting.
But he’s going to Qingdao, so he’s going to pay Yumetto to a friend at the cigarette counter, Li Yi.
Yumei was 34 years old and was picked up by second brother.
I can’t believe we haven’t seen each other for over 40 years.
Lee Yi worked as a clerk in the Yangtze, died his wife and had no children in the first few years and had a big house to live with.
Only then did Zhou Yumei know that he joined the National Party a few years earlier and followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan after liberation.
Although Yumei has been on the island for several years, he still looks well.
Yumei and this man Li Yi are getting along.
V. SETTLEMENTS
Who would have thought that Li Yi, with his higher education, had paid Yunfan to read and read? Soon after they lived together, they revealed their attachment to small feet.
And he sought the plums again, and even bought them from somewhere, two fine little shoes with pearls in gold, hoping to put them on again.
To please the “new husband,” in 1945, in an environment where the street is full of “bents” and low-footed women, Yumei is once again entangled to maintain the so-called “wedding relationship” and hopes that the family will last forever.
She bought white sackcloths, cut them into long strips, washed them, dried them, and repeated the steps she had taken.
As such, Yumei again endured pain and repeated feet five or six times a day until his feet were inserted into Lee’s new shoes.
During this period, Li Yi helped and enjoyed to wash his feet and bind him.
Zhou Yumei thought that her work would be truly true, but did not know that Li Yi-Ii had cast his obscenity’s eyes on the cloud that was set up.
I can’t believe that Lee Yi started plumbing, convinced her daughter that Yunfan was also sleek.
Not only was Yumei opposed, but Yunfan was even more angry, and his books were gone, and he was “leaved.”
Yumei cried for it, and in a few days she was brought back from her literacy class.
“Mommy, now there are women who are beautiful with small feet. It’s a new society! The teachers of our class said that entanglement is the shackling and oppression of women in feudal society, and a brutal and depraved vice! I can’t do this. You shouldn’t do this anymore. Now that equality between men and women was achieved, it was by removing the chains on women. If a woman has to work to be able to live in society, she will not be subjugated to men. I’m sorry.
I’ve got my foot.
After listening to her daughter, Zhou Yumei was awakened.
Yeah, for the first half of his life, he was dependent on men.
Because his feet were small, he entered the house, thought he’d be rich, but what happened? It’s not like the man was kicked out after he died.
Then he met Wang Chunyang, who had not lived a few days and had gone to the island because his feet could not work and nearly starved to death.
I’m still attached to a man, and I can barely keep my daughter!
Zhou Yumei has made a secret decision: the next day must be on his own, and the fate must no longer be left to others!
So she weaves the fragrance with her, and learns to sew and dry all night long, and her eyes are fuzzy and she tears.
To save enough money for the private room to move away.
In the spirit of equality between men and women, Yunfang and her classmates filmed the fashionable “Study Photo”
On the left side, the bride is Yun Fong, and on the right side, the man is dressed as a girl on the steps.
Two years later, Zhou Yumei moved quietly with Yunfan while Li was at work.
The moment I walked out, the plum seemed to be reborn. She’s got her own money and the ability to survive without anyone!
That year, the nation was liberated and Yunfan worked in a seaweed processing plant. Zhou Yumei took part in the street-based “Touching Feet” campaign, using her own profound experience to reach out to more women who have not yet done so: in the feudal society, women’s small feet are the objects of play played by men, as long as the emancipation of women is not carried out, and as long as there is no real improvement in women’s social status, women will still be subordinates to them.
New China women, stand up!
In the summer of 1989, 78-year-old Zhou Yumei finally met the second brother across the Strait in his lifetime, as Taiwan opened up for a visit.
Zhou Yumei contacted his brother Mao-seung when he was dead and his brothers and sisters cried at the airport.
The second brother brought many gifts to Yumei and his younger brother to make up for the guilt that he had failed to protect his younger brother and sister for decades, including even a few gold rings.
The second brother bought a few pairs of “thou-chang” shoes with Jade Mae, who should not be afraid of his father’s cursing, but should stop her from entangling.
When we met for half a month, my brother cried so many times that he touched his sister’s head as he was a child, he said, “I didn’t protect you.” I’m sorry.
In 1992, 81-year-old Zhou Yumei died in bed. It is hard to see Mrs. Littlefoot on the street again, and this is the end of a tragic era.
Today, the grandkids of Bee Yunfong are married to their daughter-in-law, wearing the veil of the flower left behind by Zhou Yumei.
Note
Before writing, I looked at a lot of entanglement-related literature, and it took a long time. What do I mean by that?
It’s a five-cause legend? Is it the “systems, manners, aesthetics, odiousness, marriage” reason to get stuck? Is it the beauty of the so-called “foot-to-foot” show? It’s the hymns of the king, the scribes, and the three inches of gold. Or is it a “salent” technique that inspires people’s self-interest?
Neither, it should be a paper, an overview of the “3-inch Golden Lotus” and a true record of a thousand-year-old dark history.
This record, and the meaning behind it, should be living, it should be around, and it can resonate and touch more people.
So, I showed my grandmothers, my grandmothers, in the form of aliases.
They are the women I saw, heard and felt.
Before she died, she insisted that her feet should be washed and her legs scrawny and weak, resulting in severe camelbacks unable to walk and in need of crutches to leave the house.
I’m sorry.
A modern mall was built in front of her house, but she never entered it once.
She said to the young: “I have seen it at the gate. The floor in the mall is shining, and I am afraid to enter, lest I fall.” I’m sorry.
Whenever I think of her, I think of her, I cry.
If I had grown up to understand, and told that to working parents, she would sit in a wheelchair and be pushed to the mall and enjoy the fun of the modern people shopping freely.
But that regret will never be remedied.
She is not a particular individual, she is a small figure in the flood of history, a microcosm; she is the victim of millions of feudal practices and the idea of “the inferiority of men”.
Three Inches of Golden Lotus began in North Song and ended in New China.
Since the establishment of the new China, Chinese women had been completely liberated after the fundamentals of the Communist Party had been abolished.
Women have equal rights with men to work, to participate in sports, to speak and to be free of thought and innovation.
In November 1999, China’s last “Zhiqiang” shoe factory, dedicated to women’s shoes, stopped the last production line.
The shoe factory donated the last pair of shoes to the Heilongjiang National Museum, for which a solemn donation ceremony was held.
A sad era is finally over.
