This book is a powerful work that reflects the changing times through the lens of personal fate. It shockingly portrays the profound suffering endured by women in feudal China, prompting readers to examine and reflect on traditional culture. In the late Qing Dynasty, Ge Xianglian was forced to bind her feet as a child. In her youth, she married into the wealthy Tong family thanks to her universally acknowledged "three-inch golden lotuses," winning a foot-binding contest. Her small feet briefly brought her status and favor within the family, and stories surrounding bound feet unfolded. Ge Xianglian gradually transformed from a victim into a defender of this outdated tradition. As society changed and people's awareness awakened, those who were once obsessed with it ultimately became victims of foot-binding in the face of societal transformation.
