Some laugh, others just look scared and confused. These children are trained from as early as five or six years old in the most brutal way possible.

Many looked genuinely terrified when they made a mistake on stage. As far as I’m aware, apart from a BBC documentary (Storyville), this is the only photo ever taken of the Beijing Acrobats outside performances.
