Death by 1000 Cuts

March 08, 2019

In roughly 900 CE until its outlaw in 1905, the Chinese developed a method of execution called Lingchi. This form of execution served as torture, public embarrassment, and punishment that continued well after death. The practice was reserved for severe crimes - treason, patricide/matricide, and mass murder. Its continued use is reported through the Vietnam War, even after it was outlawed several years earlier. While it may conjure images of just 1,000 cuts, the practice of Lingchi was a brutal and drawn-out process. Executioners would deliver justice through a series of cuts to the skin, removing pieces of flesh intended to see how many cuts a person could withstand before dying. The practice was generally followed by amputation, a stab to the heart, or decapitation.

Long lasting echos of simplification still encroach on my life some twenty-two years past when I enlisted for the most conforming process possible for a seventeen year old boy.
