In 1840, the Opium War broke out, which opened the door of the Qing Dynasty and opened the hearts of the Qing people, so that they could re-realize what the world was like.

The policy of closing the country to the outside world made the Qing Dynasty lag behind the world by hundreds of years, and the countries of the world were developing at a high speed, while the Qing Dynasty was self-contained and still immersed in the beautiful dream of the Heavenly Dynasty, and finally the Western powers woke up the Qing Dynasty with artillery fire.

After the Opium War, a large number of foreigners came to China for commercial trade, including normal commercial trade and abnormal commercial trade - human trafficking.

At that time, there were many poor people in the Qing Dynasty, and foreigners said that foreign countries could earn money, and these people who did not know the dangers of the world believed their words and followed them abroad, and as a result, these people were sold as slaves.

At that time, a pair of Kahn brothers came to China to do business, and they were very interested in the clothing and small feet of Qing Dynasty women, something they had never touched before. The minds of the merchants were very flexible and treacherous, and they decided to buy a Qing Dynasty woman and then go abroad to exhibit, believing that foreigners would be surprised to see such a Qing Dynasty woman.

The Kahn brothers found a family and bought a woman, and the phenomenon of selling children and selling women was very common at that time, so it was a very simple thing for them to buy a woman. As for the woman's name, it is impossible to verify in history, but the Kahn brothers married her an English name, Afong Moy, transliterated as Ah Fang.

The Kahn brothers took Ah Fang to New York, USA, and told her that they were just asking her to perform some simple shows. Ah Fang is an ignorant girl, and whatever the Kahn brothers say, she believes.

A few days later, the Kahn brothers put Ah Fang in an iron cage and exhibited her as a rare animal. Americans were very surprised to see Ah Fang's little feet, and also pointed, said and laughed, ah Fang in the cage did not know what they were laughing at, she just hoped to end quickly.

The Kahn brothers showed Ah Fang as an animal exhibition, charging 50 cents each time, attracting a lot of tourists, and the Kahn brothers' wallet was full of money. At that time, some Americans wanted to see how such a small foot could walk, so they let Ah Fang walk.

Ah Fang carried her clothes and walked in the cage, attracting cheers from tourists. At that time, the United States claimed to be a civilized society, but they took pleasure in watching people perform, really wolves in sheep's clothing, and their hearts were full of ugliness.

Ah Fang was just a microcosm of the society at that time, when many Chinese were still suffering, which was a humiliating history that could not be looked back!
