Sheang's Feet Binding

Sheang was born at a period when the age of ancient royal dynasties in China was at an end. Traditionalists and modernists were at odds, and by she was seven years old, a powerful new force in China was born. She often went out looking for her at night. Mother may have been better to me than father was, but he had set a low bar. I felt alone, fragile, and the foot binding was torture inflicted by my supposed protector. It turned out she was selling her body.
