| 1940 | The most damaging Chinese story demonstrating how people with leprosy have been stigmatised is one written by the Qing novelist Xuan Nai (1834-1879). This is about Qiu Li-Yu who suffered from leprosy and was ordered to marry in order to sell off the disease, but because she did not have the heart to marry the young man to whom she was betrothed, she was cast out of the house by her father. She became a beggar and was afforded shelter by a young man. She was finally cured by drinking wine in which a snake was drowned. This story was made into a movie The Leprosy Girl and was shown widely in the 1940s.(Extracted by H Y Li from a publication edited by Lu Jian-Min and Ye Gan-Yun, Hubei Scientific Technology Press, 1991) [Other] [China] |
