Making a Monster Endured Torture for Illusionary Shows
A Chinese journal describes a cruel procedure turning people into "monsters" for spectacle. The process uses anal particles from the body to alter skin, leaving the victim white and mutilated, sometimes forced to walk on all fours. A Mandarin saw the creature, who could not hold a pencil, and five characters were traced in ashes indicating name and district. The man had been stolen, imprisoned, and burned, doomed to death.
