Not a king. Not even a man.You are a daughter — born into a world that demands smallness.Small voice. Small steps. Small feet.And your body will be shaped, not by love, but by expectation passed down like heirlooms — soft cloth, sharp fingers, and a silence mistaken for grace.This is the life of a bound-foot girl in late imperial China — not a symbol, not a metaphor, but a painfully lived reality.From your first scream to your last breath, everything you are becomes a performance.This is not horror. It’s tradition. And that’s the most terrifying part.#footbinding #chinesehistory #historicalsleepstory #drowsyhistorian #lotusfeet #qingdynasty #femininehistory #unspokenstories #painandbeauty #traditionandtrauma
