Also, when I read the little quick summary on the paper I was wondering what a feet bound was. "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" is a book taking place in China in the nineteenth century.

As history provides, in the mid-1840's, following defeat by Britain in the first Opium War, a series of natural catastrophes occurred across China resulting in famine, peasant uprisings and rebellions.
