When a girl turned anywhere from three to six years old in China, her mom would rip up strips of cloth and start binding her feet. Daily the wrappings would be taken off and rewrapped, tighter and tighter. Sometimes the toes would be broken right away and folded under the foot; otherwise they would just be gradually bounds in that direction so they'd end up there. The many bones in the top of the foot would be broken and the front of the foot pulled down and wrapped to the heel. Most times the bound toes would turn gangrenous due to lack of circulation, and fall off. This was thought of as a blessing because it would make the feet smaller. The girl would never be able to stand again; or play. If by some chance they even managed to stand up for one second, it was againy. That was considered insignificant in the quest for tiny feet. All in the name of sex. The 'ideal' length of a perfect foot, the 'Golden Lotus', was three inches long.
