We all have the odd photographic skeleton in our closets - those embarrassing childhood pictures that we hope never see the light of day.
But it seems that users of the Chinese equivalent to Twitter are more than happy to air their most cringeworthy snaps of bygone days.
Weibo users have been taking to the website in their droves to post hundreds of hilariously awkward pictures to amuse their friends using a hashtag that translates as 'showing off some embarrassing photos of our childhood'.

Others are just candid shots taken at home of the tots in their parents clothes.
Some seem to have been taken for festivals or special occasions - the red dots on the children's heads are for beauty or good luck.
