Painful Life: photos from a Chinese asylum

painful life

Courtesy of Virtual China, images from an exhibition of photos from a Chinese asylum. I couldn’t find any sort of date on these, but I assume the Chinese government wouldn’t permit an exhibition in China unless they were reasonably old.

These do remind me of the old photos of American psychiatric wards. The mentally ill have been treated with too little care everywhere.
