Hong Kong Face Readers

Face reading has been practiced in China for thousands of years but became popular at the end of the 10th century. Stalls practicing the centuries-old face-reading discipline are still found in market streets and near temples in modern-day Hong Kong. A face reader starts with the left ear, which tells the story of the first seven years of a person's life. The right ear reflects the next seven years, followed by the nose, eyes and chin, which are used to predict later life. The face can be read like a book, a showcase of a person's wealth, health and family. Traditional Hong Kong face reader Chow Hon-ming says the art is a scientific discipline that ties in with some of the tenets of traditional Chinese medicine. Chow predicted Hillary Clinton to win the US presidential election as her chin is "stronger" than rival Donald Trump's.
