EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a powerful moment in Chinese history - the Family of Literati, Leaders in the Anti-Footbinding Movement in the West of China. The image showcases a group of individuals who played a significant role in challenging and combating the deeply-rooted practice of footbinding. Footbinding was an ancient tradition that involved tightly binding young girls' feet to restrict their growth, resulting in excruciating pain and lifelong disabilities. However, this family of literati took a stand against this oppressive custom, becoming leaders in the movement to eradicate footbinding from Chinese society. The photo exudes strength and determination as each member stands tall with unwavering resolve. Their expressions reflect both conviction and compassion for those affected by footbinding. It is evident that they are united not only by blood but also by their shared mission to bring about change. Taken during a time when such progressive ideas faced immense resistance, this photograph serves as a testament to their courage and resilience. Through their efforts, they paved the way for future generations to challenge harmful traditions and fight for equality. Preserved within private collections until now, this image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of Chinese history. It reminds us of the power that lies within families working together towards social justice, leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
