“A town in the southern province of Canton (Guangdong) is now in focus. Chinese folks there are enjoying baby herbal soup to increase overall health and stamina and the power of sexual performance in particular,” it read in the article.
“It is a delicacy whereby expensive herbs are added to boil the baby with chicken meat for eight hours,” it added.

Rappler reported that the photos were from a performance art show by Chinese artist Zhu Yu way back 2000.
According to BBC, the performance was titled Eating People and it was originally shown at the Third Shanghai Biennale in China.
Documentary company ZCZ Films said that Zhu’s act was a “performance piece.” Zhu himself, later on, revealed that it was all “fake.”
“Think of it this way – humans have their own moral standards and our behavior is regulated by these values. Our subconscious tells us that eating babies is not right… but on the other hand, it is not prohibited by any law. So I wrote a statement saying that no religion forbids cannibalism,” Zhu said.
“I took advantage of this space between morality and the law and based my work on it,” he added.
