China Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Eyeball shaving in China There is an old saying in Sichuan that cleaning the eyes renders the beauty in life visible. And some people in Chengdu like to clean their eyes - quite literally. Eye cleaning is an ancient craft in China, but it is dying out. Liu Deyuan has operated an eye-cleaning stand in a small park in Chengdu city for the past 7 years. He offers a head and face shave plus an eyecleaning for RMB5. After shaving his customer he then gives his knife a quick rinse with water before using it to clean their eyes. To do this he holds open their eyelids before scraping the blade back and forth over the eyelid and then the eyeball. He then uses a small rod, which he slides back and forth under the upper and lower eyelids like a windshield wiper. Sweet dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pwyl Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I forwarded this link to a coworker, who then proceeded to forward it to another coworker, who just happens to have a glass eye. Much hilarity ensued, for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
