For just 3 yuan ($0.45), the machine will give you a fortune-telling based on your palm lines.

| According to Xinhua, an automatic fortune-telling machine appeared at People's Square in Shanghai, China on August 4, making many people excited. |
 |
| The machine is located in the basement of a shopping mall. |
 |
| The fortune-telling machine is modeled after the famous lion-headed stone tablet Bocca Della Verita (Mouth of Truth) in Rome, Italy. Legend has it that if you put your hand in the lion’s mouth, the lion will bite you. |
 |
| Instructions for using the palm-reading machine. Those who want to have their fortune told simply insert three yuan (US$0.45) into the machine, place their palm face up on the desired position, and then receive their "fortune telling". |
 |
| "Palm reading" uses palm lines to predict love, longevity, talent, and luck. |
 |
| A young man is testing an automatic palmistry machine. Palmistry appeared in China during the Spring and Autumn period (722 – 481 BC) along with physiognomy. Through the lines of the palm, people made predictions about people’s fortune and love life. |
 |
| The "horoscope" is taken from the machine. Liu Zhiping, professor at the China Public Security University, head of the Department of Forensic Science and Technology, is an expert in fingerprint research and palmistry. He said that this is a science that needs to be systematically studied. According to him, much of the ancient knowledge about fingerprints has been lost and until now, modern science has very little research on this subject. To make a judgment about a person's fate, it is necessary to base on many factors, and one cannot just put one's hand in the machine and predict a person's fate. |
