Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze

I am not finished with Young Fu, but what I have of it is a very good book and really tells about China's culture back in the twenty's. I learned that the Chinese would bind the feet of the girls. They didn't want the girls to work. They thought it would make the women more attractive and more eligible to marry. This stinks, because the women couldn't walk very far or run. Another thing I learned was the soldiers were really mean. In the story, they shot a man because he wouldn't carry their rice. Young Fu was really mad and scared. You should read it, it is a really good book that tells how China was in the twenty's. Read It.
