Seng-Sen and Tang-Sen Liou, Conjoined Twins

Entitled: "The Korean twins in 1903, aged around 7 years old." Conjoined twins Liou Seng-Sen and Liou Tang-Sen were born in Nanjing, China, in 1886, or thereabouts. Their juncture was classified as xiphopagus, which means they were joined between the navel and breastbone, as we can see in this picture. Though quite strong looking, the connection between the pair was actually quite flexible, allowing them to stand side-by-side as well as facing each other. The twins' mother died when they were only two years old, leaving their father as their guardian. However, from age six onward, they were readied for a life in show business, traveling from fair to fair in China, and later to Korea, Japan, India, Australia and Europe.
