Jamie Fullerton, a journalist for The Daily Mail online, prepares to try pig’s feet soup, popular among Chinese mothers during their postpartum care, known as zuo yuezi, in Shanghai. Believers in zuoyuezi, which literally means "sitting the month," take precautions to protect mothers who have just given birth. It typically lasts for a month after the birth of the child, and mothers are advised to not eat cold food, expose themselves to crowds or even showers. (Photo: China News Service/Xu Mingrui)
