CUỘC ĐUA SẮC ĐẸP ĐIÊN CUỒNG Ở TRUNG QUỐC: TỪ STREAMER ĐẾN LÃNH TỤ TỐI CAO ĐỀU MUỐN ‘BẤT TỬ’

A beauty streamer's live stream suddenly glitches when her filter vanishes transforming her into a wild-eyed old woman and sending thousands of viewers into shock in the chat How do streamers transform round faces into oval ones and instantly look like beauty queens Some viewers shared the preparation process First turn on the main light and the front light Then use software to adjust the facial shape transforming a round face into a heart-shaped one Next turn on the chin-mounted red light and the overhead light to create a premium feel On the Chinese version of TikTok no one looks remotely ordinary anymore What's concerning isn't the technology itself but the expectations it generates Viewers don't see it as a filter they see it as a person Then began to believe that this was just normal appearance and started wondering what was wrong with herself The filter doesn't just hide aging—it sends the message that growing old is something unacceptable Some people have even fallen in love online only to later discover the other person was old enough to be their parent Next comes the pinnacle of absurdity: double-leg filters that cause discomfort while walking This filter narrows your legs as you walk warping the reality around you distorting the floor and walls Her legs looked like two chopsticks struggling to escape the grip The strangest part was that everyone knew it was fake yet the pressure to conform was so overwhelming that logic no longer mattered This is a trend where content creators film themselves walking through shopping malls or subway stations where software is rewriting their bodies and the surrounding world in real life The reason for their existence is as simple yet annoying as it gets Harmful beauty standards Online in China the ideal of beauty is extremely narrow Fair skin slender legs a small face large eyes and an overall youthful appearance are non-negotiable Being thin doesn't mean experienced or respected—it means bad That's why filters aren't just cosmetics they're survival tools When your income depends on how long people look at your face authenticity becomes a luxury Showing up without a filter isn't courage—it's just accepting a financial risk Pale skin a delicate physique and a youthful appearance are central themes in modern Chinese beauty standards Young people follow these beauty trends partly because of their body image For example Yang Mi recently sparked controversy when staff reminded her to eat less despite having only eaten a few bites of noodles It seems slightly betraying to fans to gain a bit of weight especially since she weighs only about 45kg Likewise Zon Nhi's drainpipe also appeared its form alarmingly gaunt Not only female celebrities but male stars like Song Yilong and La Yunxi have also embraced the trend of pale slender youthful looks maintaining extremely low weights relative to their height Livestream industry financial crisis and manipulatio Some joke that today's technology allows even a large heavyset man to look like a beautiful woman online China's Entertainment Industry Association has recently issued a ban on unfiltered streaming demanding reforms within the live-streaming sector Makeup must not be overly heavy soliciting gifts from consumers is prohibited and comparative rankings should be avoided The source materials provide numerous heartbreaking examples A 60-year-old man spent over 60 000 yuan—approximately 210 million VND—in just eight days becoming the top donor to a female streamer In Hau Nam Province a 62-year-old farmer used his lifetime savings and borrowed an additional 100 000 yuan to buy gifts for a streamer Another case involved a man who sent over 300 000 yuan to a streamer believing they were in a romantic relationship In reality she's deceiving four other men at the same time As the economy weakens the illusion of quickly making money through livestreaming becomes increasingly appealing Over 500 000 university students in China now regularly participate in livestreaming Because the income from this job is significantly higher than that of ordinary office work In this environment beauty has been severed from personal struggle and reduced to a short-term commodity exchanged through technology The high cost of an obsession with youthful beauty The question now is why Chinese women are so obsessed with looking younger An increasing number of women in their 30s and 40s are undergoing cosmetic surgery to look like teenage girls Today beauty is in the hands of Wang Jing and her surgical team The beauty of her baby face inspired over 500 Chinese girls Recreate that look by undergoing the same type of cosmetic surgery at her own clinic Modern beauty standards in China can be accurately described as always looking as youthful as a child Is it the same in Vietnam Wang Jing has undergone numerous surgeries to look ten years younger than her actual age and sharing her experiences on the nest site which made her extremely popular She revealed she had invested over 1 million yuan in surgeries to achieve this youthful appearance In China a baby's face is characterized by large eyes a high nose and a sharp tip A heart-shaped face sharp features and pale skin You must look truly innocent and delicate like a child Common procedures include double eyelid surgery rhinoplasty love-hand surgery heart-shaped lip enhancement and filler injections to the face Additionally if you have a sunken cheekbone doctors will inject fillers to restore balance to your face or inject filler to achieve a V-line contour and eliminate nasolabial folds The ultimate goal is for the face to look at least 10 years younger However these methods are not foolproof and require regular visits to a doctor for maintenance The standard for harmful scrolling is spreading across social media distorting what is considered normal A plastic surgery app even advertises that women are only perfect when born beautiful Every year 20 million people in China spend money on cosmetic procedures to keep up with societal expectations In Vietnam we have the case of DJ Ngan 98 The person possessing a youthful beauty is quite close to Quang Trinh and has undergone at least 12 surgeries However when Yin was arrested on charges of producing and selling counterfeit weight-loss pills her unfiltered makeup-free image was exposed Fans were fooled The dream of staying young forever and living indefinitely without dying Ladies and gentlemen if filters and cosmetic surgery can merely preserve youthfulness on the surface Modern medical research is expected to extend human lifespan and rejuvenate the body from within In 2022 a team of experts at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Zoology published in the journal Cell Stem Cell a technique that enables lineage tracing Thus injecting young blood into old mice may help extend their lifespan A new study conducted on mice has sparked interest among many scientists and companies regarding its potential applications in humans Backed by the government China's biotech startups are racing into a multibillion-dollar quest for anti-aging therapies One of the boldest claims comes from scientists at Lovin Bioscience They claim to have discovered a way to extend human lifespan to 120 years using a molecule extracted from grape seeds Living to 150 years old is entirely realistic The New York Times quoted Liu Qinghua the company's technology director They say it will become a reality within just a few years Lovin Bioscience is developing a drug based on Proanthocyanidin C1 PCC1 a molecule discovered in 2021 by scientists in Shanghai In the study published in the journal Nature Metabolism They showed that PCC1 extends the lifespan of mice by 9.4% by selectively eliminating zombie cells which accumulate in the body and damage healthy cells Anti-aging conferences attract thousands of attendees featuring advertising booths ranging from moisturizers and high-pressure chambers to cryotherapy treatments at -128 degrees Celsius In the city a company even promoted an immortal island as a luxurious health retreat However serious scientists remain highly skeptical Dr David Barzilai founder of Barzilai Longevity Consulting Although many drugs can extend the lifespan of animals their effects on humans are typically very limited Even groundbreaking research on grape seed refractive index is now under suspicion In September the journal Nature Metabolism published an editor's note a warning about fabricated data errors in the 2021 paper Although the article was not retracted Chinese medicine is considered promising by experts but large-scale clinical trials are needed to confirm its effectiveness While mass solutions require time for research and testing China's leadership circle has its own exclusive solution On September 3 2025 an unedited video clip The live broadcast from China's state television network CCTV prior to the Beijing military parade sparked widespread public discussion In the video leaders Xi Jinping Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are chatting and laughing warmly with one another on the surprisingly provocative topic of organ grafting and the illusion of eternal life A rare meandering passage lasting less than a minute Starting with President Xi's statement in Mandarin that nowadays living to 70 years old is no longer unusual A Russian interpreter later heard his own verdict read back to him Previously it was rare for people to live to 70 years old Yet today at 70 you're still just a child Putin then responded with an ambiguous remark in his news briefing although the Mandarin version provided by the interpreter indicated that the Russian leader spoke about biotechnology with the advancement of biotechnology Human organs can be continuously replaced by transplanted ones allowing people to live increasingly younger lives and ultimately achieve immortality The interpreter who was reportedly speaking stated in Korean as well also mentioned the organ transplant Then President Xi Jinping said it's possible that people could live up to 150 years old this century The camera cut abruptly as he finished speaking Both President Xi Jinping and President Putin are 72 years old while Kim Jong-un is 41 years old Regarding the conversation between Xi Jinping and Putin Republican Congressman Chris Smith e sponsor of the U S law ending organ harvesting stated to the Epoch Times that This conversation demonstrates that the fragmentation has no bounds The highest-ranking leaders of the Chinese Communist Party Possessing what appears to be an enormous supply of organs it is renowned for privileges unavailable to the general public The method and location for obtaining these organs seemed to be considered only afterward Ms Nina Xie director and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute's Center for Religious Freedom in Washington expressed concern to the Epoch Times about the possibility that these leaders might harm young law-abiding practitioners Uyghur Muslims Tibetan Buddhists and household followers of the Jiadu sect were targeted for their organs According to Ms Nina there is growing evidence that this has become a common practice within the Chinese Communist Party Is there really a remedy for living longer and staying young forever While modern humans especially those from China raised in atheism tirelessly seek methods rejuvenation and eternal youth through modern science and technology whereas in ancient times divine-inspired culture left behind Wisdom and discernment truly enable one to achieve this goal The ancients said that one's appearance reflects the state of the mind From the perspective of traditional medicine understanding the internal organs and their corresponding external manifestations your qi and blood the five zang organs and your nervous system All of this is closely tied to one's facial expression A person who has been cheerful tolerant and kind-hearted over a long period Naturally one would open their eyes with a smile their complexion rosy and vibrant Conversely someone who constantly blames heaven and earth every day They look so envious their faces grow dark and sallow eyes darting away corners of their mouths drooping—anyone who sees them feels discomfort Thus the inner self is the true makeup artist the real plastic surgeon—your face will gradually reflect the state of your inner world Moreover the ancient standard of beauty differs greatly from today's Modern people desire to stay young forever whereas ancient people did not Youth has the innocent charm of youth middle age has the mature and composed elegance of adulthood Old age possesses a gentle benevolent beauty a natural grace that comes with a long fulfilling life A woman in her forties or fifties who dresses and wears makeup like a young adult will be seen as immodest and inappropriate Ancient people believed that humans possess five blessings: first longevity second wealth and honor fourth is good character and virtuous conduct fifth is benevolent loyalty dying peacefully and naturally Most important of all is the fourth blessing virtue because virtue is the cause and root of blessing and blessing is the result and manifestation of virtue The Five Blessings naturally do not include love let alone things like physical beauty which modern people highly value Just joking modern technology can turn a simple glance into a stunning beauty with just a swipe Here a new type of eyewear might very well be invented one that when worn feels like applying a filter At that point marrying an old ugly woman was no problem at all—just put on glasses and it’s all settled What's the point in chasing beauty so obsessively these days In truth human eyes aren't so different after all A camera lens a prism For example the naked eye sees a smooth ring But once you step outside and look closely at the spa it's like the surface of the moon— pockmarked and uneven right And when you examine it under a microscope it's even more extreme Yet modern people blindly trust their own eyes to such an extent that they become utterly deluded by appearances No longer concerned with morality or propriety nor foolish in the least Now let us speak of the elixir of immortality Tôn Tư Mạc revered as the Sage of Medicine the illustrious physician of ancient times once taug Nurturing life means cultivating one's innate goodness When one's fundamental nature is already good illness—whether internal or external—cannot arise Calamities and disasters arise without cause this is precisely the great principle of nourishing life Yet if virtue remains incomplete no matter how much one consumes Even jade elixirs cannot extend one's lifespan Good and evil inevitably bring their consequences not only as a belief in traditional culture but also as verified by modern science According to researchers at the Harvard T H Chan School of Public Health kindness humility and empathy and kind actions can help reduce stress thereby helping to maintain telomere length These DNA structures serve to protect chromosomes and preserve the integrity of the cell's genetic material A 2012 study published in the journal Health Psychology Research by Sarah Conrad and her colleagues at the University of Michigan also indicates that older adults who volunteer have a lower risk of mortality Volunteers live on average four years longer than non-volunteers provided they volunteer out of altruistic motives rather than personal gain Zhang Sanfeng born 1247–1458 whose real name was Zhang Junbao e founder of the tai chi martial art tradition tai chi quan and tai chi sword was a renowned Daoist longevity master in Chinese history Lived over 200 years According to records in the historical text Fang Jili Lie Zhuan Zhang Sanfeng was born in 1247 during the Song dynasty By the early Ming dynasty Zhang Sanfeng reappeared in official historical records Minh Chengzu repeatedly sent envoys to search for him across the land in hopes of meeting Zhang Sanfeng but never found him Later he issued orders for the scholar Hu Guang a physician from the Hanlin Academy to be sent out to search and even included a letter with urgent wording After receiving his younger brother's letter Zhang Sanfeng replied with a poem one that went like this Heaven and earth harmonize to give birth to prosperity the imperial court establishes peace and upholds virtue In the Hall of the Supreme Emperor dragons and tigers rest in stillness Ancient city walls stand in silent ruin The spirit's horse though swift is of no use The emperor's inquiry brings sorrow to the grieving The sacred ear hears all things and the heart's true desire gives rise to the marketplace of life In meaning it signifies harmony between heaven and earth Prosperity flourishes the court and people live in peace and stability governance proceeds smoothly and the southern and northern seas are tranquil under the golden palace The bell's echo cuts through the clouds above Woda Mountain The mountain spirit born in the countryside was utterly unskilled in any craft The king asked the rustic sage what inner sorrow he bore Boldly speaking on behalf of the people the minister said calm the mind lessen desire and longevity shall follow Zhang Sanfeng recommended an extraordinary elixir of longevity to Emperor Yongle in this letter Cultivate mindfulness and purity of heart minimize desire His words of wisdom though profound remain beyond the grasp of many But very few actually manage to do so During the Song dynasty there was a general named Bao Heng who had a robust physique and extraordinary vitality and at the age of 85 he remained in excellent health and even appointed as chief minister The imperial eunuch feigning humility claimed he clearly possessed some mystical art of longevity I came to seek your advice Bao Hengzai said I possess a secret elixir formula a family heirloom passed down through generations and never shared with outsiders He eagerly asked what kind of immortal pill it was and the old man calmly replied that it was just a matter of luck I've been taking sleeping pills alone for fifty years now Everyone sitting there burst out laughing In Vietnamese history King Lê Tương Dực was initially praised as wise and worthy of revered wisdom exemplary in wisdom and setting a national example as recorded in the Đại Việt Sử Ký Toàn Thư yet later the king became engrossed in sensual pleasures Indulged in reckless excess ultimately lost his throne and died at just 21 Later generations would only remember him by the name King Pig Modern Chinese officials who are corrupt embezzling wealth trafficking in government positions lavishly supporting mistresses and indulging in unrestrained luxury They indulge in and worship fame profit and sensual pleasures without restraint In reality they are shortening their own lives Some wicked individuals are now seeking to forcibly harvest the organs of innocent people to extend their own lives—how utterly contrary to nature and justice As for you what are your thoughts on beauty pageants and the quest for eternal youth in today’s society Please share your thoughts with us in the comments below Le Minh sincerely wishes you always maintain good intentions in your heart Let beauty radiate from the very core of life Thank you and see you again
