I Feel Perhaps My Heart Is Still

If Children Were Brought Up To Become Non-conformists It Would Only Ruin Their Lives. So Parents All Over China Who Loved Their Children Told Them To Do As Chairman Mao Said. It Was Not Possible To Tell Them Anything Else.

If You Have Love, Even Plain Cold Water Is Sweet.

I Like To Have Chinese Furniture In My Home As A Constant And Painful Reminder Of How Much Has Been Destroyed In China. The Contrast Between The Beauty Of The Past And The Ugliness Of The Modern Is Nowhere Sharper Than In China.

I Remember When My Mother Pointed To A Stone, And She Said This Was The Kind Of Stone People Used To Place On The Feet Of The Baby Girls To Stop Them Trying To Climb Away And Unbind Their Feet.

My Grandmother's Feet Had Been Bound When She Was Two Years Old. Her Mother...first Wound A Piece Of White Cloth About Twenty Feet Long Round Her Feet, Bending All The Toes Except The Big Toe Inward And Under The Sole. Then She Placed A Large Stone On Top To Crush The Arch.
