China’s temple fair has ignited fierce controversy after organizers staged a shocking live performance mimicking the ancient “five horses dismemberment” torture. A real woman was tied with five ropes attached to her two arms, two legs, and head. Five men then pulled forcefully in five different directions, lifting her body into the air to simulate the brutal medieval execution.
The replacement of horses with human pullers has drawn sharp criticism, with many accusing the event of going too far and turning increasingly violent and disturbing.
