Modern China is working hard to give itself a new image. And now a frightening new craze for Western-style beauty is driving a nationwide boom in dangerous and drastic cosmetic surgery procedures.
"Until recently, communist ideals valued natural beauty. Today, other things are considered beautiful", explains fashion photographer Zheng Chen. At just 19, young model Ai Xiao Qi has found success in China's fashion world. But she isn't under any illusions about the painful cause of her popularity: "when you're in front of cameras, your face must have a strong profile". A strong profile: the new Chinese euphemism for surgically-enhanced Western features. In a bid to be as tall as Westerners, Chinese girls are even undergoing gruesome procedures to break and extend their legs. After a botched surgery, tour guide Qi Lixia ended up horribly disfigured. "The doctors tried to re-assure me. But my nose was completely deformed." But such is the pressure on young girls that she's prepared to go under the knife again: "Looking good helps me in my job". As this mantra becomes more widely accepted, the message to young girls is clear: it's what's on the outside that counts.

    Um Chinese/Asians don't want necessarily want pale skin to look western. In Asia for a long time it's been thought that if your skin was darker you were poor. If you had pale skin it showed you were more rich and didn't have to work in fields etc.

    I'm not saying you are wrong but that was a European/Western thought too (probably) before that became a fad too in China. When rich families would hire an artist to paint them they would ask to have themselves be paler than actuality in the picture.

    Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen 🙏✝️❤️

    The procedure has merit, and was designed successfully to alleviate dwarfism. Dwarves, because of their short stature, often cannot drive cars, nor even reach their own kitchen sinks. Adding only a few inches to their height solves more problems than it offers. The women here are risking good health for vanity, it seems, if not a slight advantage in business work.

She didn't say "I want to look even more western" also when asked on the street to comment on the model she said her looks "represents the traditional eastern beauty" also not translating the part where she said Chinese people are beautiful if you look at them in real life, but in pictures it doesn't show. I don't really understand why such a video exist if all it's doing is represent a culture in a way that it's not. Stopped watching and I hope this video doesn't become some kind of reference video that people are looking at to learn about Chinese beauty.

Those are normal and prudent motivations for woman in any culture.

    You forget that the statistics include foreigners going to Korea for surgery from China, Taiwan, Hong Konh, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, and Asians living in other countries. And the large majority get eyelids done, secondary in nose jobs usually objections. The remaining get jaw shaved but it's not as high as you think. The rest is skin treatment and makeup, I'd say cosmetics profits as much as surgery. Other ethnicities get work done more on lowering nose bridge, fuller lips, and body. But this is largely isolated in LA, as in Asia it's largely Seoul, Korea and Bangkok, Thailand, and a ton of people all over the world go for work in Thailand, sometimes just regular procedures because of the cheap cost.

    The translation is not 100% accurate and they have deliberately left out things. For example, when the group of girls and the man were standing in front of the store (around the 5:00 mark), one of the girls said the woman in the picture had an "Eastern beauty", which was what made her seem ideal. Also, another girl said Europeans have deeper features, which look good in pictures; on the other hand, Chinese women have flatter features, which may look beautiful in real life, but does not translate to image well. I think these subtle phrasings do make an important distinction in interpreting whether a Western look is preferred. I wonder why they left it out.

    There are certain features that are almost universally preferred across all races and cultures. Lighter skin, large eyes a particular body shape have been shown to be subconsciously considered more attractive. As chance would have it, a lot of the features humans are hard wired to be attracted to are found in European caucasians. I don't think it is fair to say they are trying to look "Western". Rather, they are trying to attain the features that are internationally toted as being beautiful.

    if that were the case, then Asian women would have been trying to look this way before western film, western beauty magazines etc were introduced into their culture. As the world become smaller and Asians learned more about what the West considered 'beauty', it was only then that they suddenly wanted longer lashes, bigger eyes, started lightening their hair (many Asian women will even dye their hair brown...just so it's at least not 'black' and helps to differentiate them from other Asians with black hair).... it has even extended to many Asian women now wanting hapa babies (mixed) as they've been brainwashed to believe hapa babies are 'cuter'...that western men are by default, more 'handsome', etc. It's very sad because...as well know...there is beauty in all ethnic groups....

    Not really. "Big eyes"? That's the same for blacks, Arabs, Indians, South Americans etc. As for light skin, that's completely subjective. Personally I think a tan looks more attractive, though as with anything, beauty is obviously completely subjective...

    I think it's quite eurocentric to say Chinese people want to look "western". I guess they've got their own concept of beauty. I'd say they don't want to look western, they want to look like Hollywood stars, who have extremely perfect looks (only shown in movies and magazines). We western people don't necessarily look like Hollywood stars, almost all blonde and blue-eyed people because they're an invention, a hysteric method to show to people what's that supposed human perfection. "Regular western" people (I mean Caucasians in general) don't look like Hollywood stars at all and Chinese people wouldn't look like them, because that misconception of beauty isn't inherent to the human reality. You can find beautiful people in any corner of the world.

And no, it doesn't look sick..pale skin use to be a sign of luxury and one's wealth in the old days cause it means that person doesn't have to do hard labor work and that belief has been passed down for centuries.

But many people also think being pale looks better, which is ALSO fine. I personally am very pale and I love it. I actively avoid getting a tan if I can help it, actually, and not for any medical reasons, I just think it looks nice with my hair and eyes.

    During ancient times in China, having a pale skin means that you come from an affluent family.(higher status) The wealthy girls are rarely exposed to sunlight nor rain, so their skin is tender, moisturized, and pale. According to the Chinese archives, a brothel in Canton would train their highly ranked prostitutes, other than chess, instruments, poetry, or painting, to measure the appropriate temperature of water that wash their face, so that it would not harm their skin. The prostitutes don't twist the facecloths and try as much as possible to not do any more activities, to bring out their delicateness.--which is considered attractive. Also, the archive specifically talks about how they have to be exposed to the sun for a certain amount of time , but no more than that. There were even so many restrictions in a little brothel, so paleness as beauty is our history, not looking or trying to look western. The standard of aesthetics is passed down from the ancient times based on hierarchy, from the top to the bottom, whereas looking pale, delicate body,complex hair accessorization , and lots of jewelries worn signify the top.Some people also argue that we do not strive to have the Western pale skin, but more of the color cream. PS, the paleness of skin complements with women's sex flush(redness) during intercourse.

    THIS IS NOT NEWS. Women and men have done crazy things for beauty since the dawn of time!! In ancient Egypt women would use highly dangerous makeup that could cause blindness and even death, Chinese women would bind their feet in the 1800s, in the renaissance women would use a blend of carbonate, hydroxide and lead oxide to achieve paler skin and these substances led to muscle paralysis and death. A popular way to achieve the pale face also included the use of leaches who were attached to the ears and drained the blood from the woman's face, giving her the desired appearance of one who is about to swoon. I could go on! My point is surgery is just another step in evolution, humans will ALWAYS want to be desirable. Its in our dna, like all other species its about procreation.

Yes, having small feet was seen as beautiful and a status symbol - often the only way for a woman to marry into money. Beauty have been key since the dawn of time, and it is still like that today. Many women today have these surgeries for the same reasons - to be beautiful, get a better life - a man, family, money etc.

    Holly Abbott I totally agree with you. It is so sad what people consider to be pretty! Western women go to tanning salons to get brown and make their eyes up to look more exotic like asian women. Asian women are having plastic surgery and whitening their skin to look more western. I have seen beautiful asian and western women. I say to women of all cultures embrace who you are, love yourselves and don't give in to the superficial society that we live in today. Cosmetic surgery can change and sometimes destroy the outer self - better to work on the inner self and to work on self esteem issues and realise there are other more important things to focus on. Self confidence and personality and a beautiful heart radiate a beauty far beyond the physical. Beauty is not just skin deep - I have met people who are aesthetically pleasing but as soon as they open their mouths and speak I am disappointed - at the other end of the scale there are people who are not perfect but their attractive, intelligent and comedic personalities make you fall in love with them. I blame the media for presenting lies - distorted images and air brushing! None of us see ourselves the way others see us - many stunning filmstars when asked admit that they do not think they are pretty! At the end of the day beauty will always be subjective!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lorraine Ashby Actually, he's right. For one, he implies that he lives in northeast Asia, so he should know what he's talking about. More importantly, traditional Chinese (and by extension, Japanese Korean) beauty standards have called for pale skin, small noses and and mouths, and large, dark eyes for centuries -- long before modern Western influence. It's really more of a coincidence that these standards match the typical Caucasian face, although there are a few cases of women (and men) actively trying to look "white."

Of course not all eastern women want to look western but if they do that is their choice - there are so many ways of approaching this topic but at the end of the day 'be careful what you wish for.' I take your point and it is indeed interesting but Raquel you have to agree putting aside the east/west question so many people are going under the knife and the results ain't always pretty! I wish you well and much happiness for 2014!

    Well, Western culture and technology have influenced Asia and other parts of the world in countless ways. Images of Western beauty and commercials for cosmetic products and procedures, as mentioned in the video, have naturally found their way into Asia, among many other things. No one ever told Asian girls to go under the knife, just as no one has told any American or European girl to do so, but the things people see influence what people like, want, and eventually get. What I'm trying to say is that the "Western beauty" influence isn't as big a factor as the video tries to make it appear; again, the correlation to Caucasian appearance is more coincidental. I'm not trying to stir up racial divides or conflicts.That's all. :) Happy New Year to you, too.

    To Jason CHINA & Raquel Joann: Out Of curiosity and to be fair to your comments I felt it only right to do a little research of my own with regards to the comments accusing East asians wanting to be white etc. These are the words from an expert: 'I lived in Shanghai, China in 1999 and also in Tokyo, Japan from 2001-2002. While in Japan I managed to visit Taiwan and South Korea too. South Koreans, like Japanese and Chinese have had a skin fetish for their women that preexisted any Western European contact. You can see this reflected in Tang Dynasty China which was roughly the same time as the later part of the Western Roman Empire. There were envoys that were exchanged but for the most part Chinese had never seen a European. There are some East Asian women naturally pale but most are not. Typical make up was used and in later centuries Geisha in japan painted their faces white as it was considered beautiful. Before people project their western values and racial hangups they need to learn the culture and history of the people. The extent of western influence has often been overexaggerated.'

    What starts at 7:05 is heartbreaking; love is about finding someone who you think is a good person. Honest or nice, someone thoughtful and someone you spend your time with and build a relationship. For someone to go to some type of organization as that saying he is looking for a "beautiful woman" breaks my heart; life isn't all about appearances.

    liz mclean That's not true. Just because a race wants to have a feature that's common in another race, doesn't mean they want to look like that race specifically. That would be like saying: "black people want to look white because they're always wearing straight hair and more white looking hair." I'm sure you would argue with this. Full lips occur naturally in white people already. Big eyes occur in asian people naturally too. They just want those features along with the features they already have because they feel like they go together well. Asians who undergo plastic surgery have an asian celebrity in mind. White people who get their lips done, have a white celebrity or model with full lips in mind. White people tan naturally. Some like to have a tan so they look more athletic or like they go to the beach a lot

It's not like altering your face is going to show off that already awesome personality. It often changes how you act. Again, stop thinking the exception to the rule negates the rule.

My advice to the Asian women whom have been brainwashed (yes brainwashed) by "western" society, the value of ones self is determined by the love you leave, the people you cared for, and how people remember you. If you died tomorrow what would people say about you? That you were brave, honest, loved, honorable, kind, smart, a good person with a beautiful heart and soul? or would they say you had a pretty face? If it's merely the latter, you made the wrong choice... “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” ― Confucius

    Chinese traditional ( I mean for thousand of years) view of beauty are pale skinned. That's way before Western influence. However I do admit the high nose bridge and wide eyes has the western influence. We still use sun umbrellas which reduces sun damage to skin. Most Asian (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) beauty product have the word "whitening" on it. As a Chinese Australian female, I really don't get what's with the obsession of "tanning" for white girls, even going to tanning beds, going to the beach and get sun burns... Don't they realise its really bad for their skin (cancer) and super ages your skin? And then they wonder why Asian age slower. I'd rather take a few vitamin D tablet then go get a sun bath.

I can't think of many things worse that people feeling the need to literally change their face to be successful/happy. Obviously I am white, but as a white woman I've still learned to form my own opinion on what is beautiful. I think it's about time the majority of the world remember to think for themselves and love themselves. Yes, some people are more physically attractive than others, but there are so many kinds. Being white doesn't make you the only kind of beautiful.

    This is really just the entertainment industry that is influencing the perception of beauty. People need to realize that they take already pretty or average women and modify their faces on a computer. They elongate their necks and change the shapes of their faces. Actually if you take a closer look people in magazines are starting to appear like what I picture a alien to look like. They are freakishly tall and their eye brows are so arched they are just ugly. The eyes are pretty when defined with eye liner and shadow but they over do it to the point that they make them look like a demon.

    You do have a point -- Europeans have always had good press. There are unattractive white people out there, just like any other race, yet they've always portrayed themselves as gods & goddesses and set unattainably high standards no one, of any race, can reach. Hence photoshop. It's sort of like the ancient statues Europeans used to build, in which their glorious hero was impossibly flexing every single muscle in his body.

    They're trying real hard not to say "white". They basically mean these women want thinner and perhaps more pointy noses with generally sharper features like pointy chins.

    In places like China and Japan, 'Western' means 'European' or 'White'. In other words, American and British cultures, which glorify 'white' as being the ideal beauty, has influenced Asian people into believing them and their ethnicity is not beautiful just as the way they are.

    Well in many Asian country, ppl consider pale skin as beauty but I dont think it has any connection with the Western complexion. The idea that pale skin is beautiful has existed for long long time ago cause our ancestors believed that, a woman who has pale skin doesnt have to work hard n' stay home all days long, n' pale skin makes women more "aristocratic". That's just a definition of beauty in Asian, like tan skin in Europe :p Maybe we all pursue the thing we dont have n' never realize how beautiful we naturally are :))

    I don't know what to say either. Whatever shall we do when people decide to get plastic surgery. I mean it's totally our business and we should fight against it! "Hey I think it's sick so you shouldn't do it, even though it's not illegal or even immoral". Is that the line of thinking we are going with here? Pooping looks gross too. Lets all go anti poop imo.

    the problem is Photoshop manipulation, and people not knowing when a model they see has been manipulated with Photoshop. The place the manipulated images in a pedestal and they want to be like it. But it inst natural. It is affecting us in a subconscious level. Natural is beautiful

    What's the big deal? people of every race, color, and ethnicity desire to be different. dark-skinned people buy whitening lotion. light-skinned people buy tanning lotion. short people wish they were tall, fat people wish they were skinny. skinny people wish they had curves. this is normal

    Sooooo... the music played over the intro segment is a bit of incidental music from the under-rated "Donnie Darko" called "The Philosophy of Time Travel." Any significance? Or just used because it sounded cool?
