It used to happen in villages and towns in China that they would have - I guess you'd call them beauty contests - where all of the women of a particular village or town would be seated behind these screens or curtains with only their feet showing.

In den Dörfern und Städten Chinas war es so, als hätten sie - ich nehme an, Sie nennen sie Schönheitswettbewerbe -, wo alle Frauen eines bestimmten Dorfes oder einer Stadt hinter diesen Bildschirmen oder Vorhängen sitzen und nur ihre Füße zeigen.
