Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences





I went to Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences last week, found some terrible history about Chinese......... Footbinding...........

Footbinding ---> Women in traditional Chinese family in Ming and Qing dynasties usually bind their feet since childhood. In those days, "small feet" was deemed as symbol of beauty.... The results of bound feet are atrophic osteoporosis and deformed bones as shown in above picture.....
