The females in China had bound feet so that the feet couldnt grow, and would remain small even at at adult age. The process was extremely painful for the women. The reason this is done is because when the female gets married, if they try to run away they can't because their feet are too small meaning they will be slow runners. The husband will then catch up to them easily.
