Three-Inch Golden Lotus: An Old Story with a Twist

2.6/5 ( ratings)

"He didn’t feel anything was amiss until, after letting out another dull fart, he rolled out of bed lazily"....

But so much was amiss when Weidong, a petty office worker, woke up on that fateful day.

"What the fuck! What had happened to his foot? It looked so shrunk, so minuscule, probably one size smaller than his baby daughter’s, its shape so pathetic: humped, truncated, the toes so bent and pressed together, as if he had been operated upon while chasing that Marylyn Monroe-like blonde in the dreamland—Anna Nicole whatever being the nymph’s name, as she dared him on, shaking her buxom chest in his face, pouting her fleshy crimson lips."

Thinking fast on his new, three-inch golden lotus like feet, Weidong knew exactly what to do to make the most of his misfortune when he stepped into the brave new world....

Quirky, precariously dangerous, and hilarious, this story is as old as man and woman and as ridiculous as the dizzying drama that unfolds in the post-Mao, new millennium China everyday.
