The soles of this pair of shoes, made of transparent silk, are painted with erotic scenes that refer to the past, showing female figures with bound feet. The ballerina-style shoes, however, reflect a modern and more liberal way of living. The work\u2019s title, <em>Good Things Come in Pairs </em>(<em>haoshi chengshuang</em>), is a Chinese proverb. It can also be read as an allusion to the Chinese philosophical principle that when the forces of yin and yang\u2014or male and female\u2014are in balance, harmony and order are achieved.",
