Brutality → Ling Chi (execution by slow cutting)
Ling Chi - execution by slow cutting - was practiced in China until it was outlawed in 1905. In the execution, the criminal is slowly cut in the arms, legs, and chest, until finally they are beheaded or stabbed in the heart. Many western accounts of the execution method are largely exaggerated, with some claiming that the execution could take days to perform. This is a particularly revolting image of a criminal who has been executed by this method.
One modern eyewitness report from Journalist and Politician Henry Norman, describes an execution thus:
"The criminal is fastened to a rough cross, and the executioner, armed with a sharp knife, begins by grasping handfuls from the fleshy parts of the body, such as the thighs and the breasts, and slicing them off. After this he removes the joints and the excrescences of the body one by one-the nose and ears, fingers and toes. Then the limbs are cut off piecemeal at the wrists and the ankles, the elbows and knees, the shoulders and hips. Finally, the victim is stabbed to the heart and his head cut off."

| There's something about this pic I find oddly comforting & I'll no doubt be called a sick freak but I for 1 believe Ling Chi to be a martyr & you can clearly see she is seeing beyond our sick & evil world & looking into a beautiful place it gives me a grain of hope of a better place on the other side. |

| @ everyone saying "retards" and "chinese people are animals" this practice was outlawed over 100 years ago. they are no longer like this...it is apart of their history just like western society has sick and twisted parts we would rather forget as well. dont get all caught up in something that is no longer practiced or talked about anymore. |
