Chinese Torture

Diversi esempi di torture cinesi tratti da stampe ottocentesche.

Chinese torture was a different way to punish offenders. It was meant to be "as painful as the human body can resist." Making a person laugh until his death--Chinese invention. The Chinese not only knew extremely well how to get the truth out of anyone, they made victims hate their torturers.
The most common way to make someone speak was with the use of a torture called "the blade." It consisted of a small--very sharp--dagger. The torturer would make one cut at a time to his victim, if he refused to speak, he could go on endlessly. A thousand cuts were not enough to kill a person. He could continue living until all his blood drained out of his body very slowly. This rarely happened since a victim could be cured and tortured for months--or years.
In medieval China, if someone didn't obey the emperor, he'd be killed. If anyone refused to believe in the emperor, he'd be tortured and killed. If someone offended the emperor, what was going to await him is best described as "hell."
That's the reason of the now infamous "Chinese Torture." But it didn't include only cutting and laughing; it was much more. They also developed highly psychological tortures. Depriving sleep was one of the most commonly used.
"The Ball" was totally psychological. It consisted of fixing a person to a wall (in good cases with ropes, bad cases with nails) and tying a small ball all the way from the roof to the head of the victim. The rope would go back and forth hitting the person's forehead until it reached his brain--after many months--and he finally died. In the middle stage of the torturing process, the victim would be shouting in agonizing pain since he could feel how the blood from his forehead was reaching his eyes (sometimes causing blindness).

The tickle torture (on the soles of feet) sounds absurd considering torture is supposed to be about screams. Alas it is one of the most effective psychological and physical methods which leaves no evidence.

Cold dripping water on your forehead drop by drop was the main source of torture used by the Chinease on war captives. After about 30 minutes the victim would begin to wimper. Then begin to cry and eventually either go insane or give the information the Chinease wanted.

Io sono donna, in pensione RN, 77. Anni fa, ha parlato con il Vietnam la guerra, le forze speciali tipo, sul modo di lavorare presso l'ospedale di VA a Los Angeles, dopo aver saputo del mio lavoro si sentiva al sicuro da dirmi del gruppo nella sua unità che ogni hoot notte e urlò come pensiero, e provato, modo più unico e doloroso per uccidere un altro. Forse ci sono altri che vorrebbero condividere il peso di questo "sapere".

I, a woman, retired RN, 77. Years ago,spoke with Viet Nam war, special forces guy, on his way to work at VA in L.A. who upon hearing of my work felt safe enough to tell me of group in his unit who hoot and hollered as thought up, and trying out, most unique and painful way to kill another. During the day they would try it out, and spent following evening thinking up a new way. I feel pain in my gut writing this but perhaps there are others who would like to share the burden of this "knowing".
