Chapter 6 save your own

In a movie "Sakura Love" that was staged in Taipei, the heroine in it was a Japanese girl who wanted to have double eyelid surgery, which made her American husband very angry. The purpose of a Japanese girl to have double eyelids is to make herself look like an American. She thinks that "it will make her husband think she is more cute."But in fact, it was her original oriental appearance that the American husband loved; in other words, her husband loved her because of her single eyelids, short stature, and straight hair. Of course, this plot is not only an exaggeration in the drama, because in fact, almost everyone of us has had this feeling: often the Chinese wives selected by American friends in Taiwan are not what we Chinese think are beautiful. of.Instead, they pick what we don't think is pretty.They often like to find some girls who are very petite and exquisite, and their hair is completely in the original Chinese style, without curly hair, low nose, single eyelids, and their behavior still retains the inherent Chinese quietness.Therefore, some people often feel that the eyes of Americans are strange.

In fact, their vision is normal.If they love Westernized orientals, they should simply marry a lady from their own country, wouldn't it be more standard?They love Orientals because Oriental ladies are Oriental ladies, possessing all the characteristics of Oriental ladies and the beauty of the Orient.But we Chinese are standing on the opposite point of view with them.Sometimes we admire the demeanor of Westerners, but feel mediocre to our original appearance, so we eagerly hope to make ourselves more Westernized. Of course, according to the standard of "beauty", it is best for Westerners to have Eastern beauty, or for Orientals to have Western beauty.So there are many Eurasian children who are very beautiful.

But this is not necessarily the case for love. When a person falls in love with another person, it is often not that he meets some standard of loving the other person, but just falls in love with his characteristics.Otherwise, everyone will attack a few standard beauties, and the others are not "standard" enough Yes, can't you find the object? Since it is impossible for everyone to conform to the world standard of "beauty", it is better to preserve one's own characteristics than to remake oneself in an unnatural way. A person's natural characteristics may be her beauty, we don't have to hope that we are like a certain famous beauty, we should hope that we are only the most like ourselves.

When talking about a person with his own characteristics, one cannot help but think of those movie stars.For a while, in newspapers and magazines, we saw photos of many celebrities who looked a bit like Li Lihua, and for a while we saw photos of many celebrities who looked a bit like Zhang Zhongwen.These people don't know how to make use of their own characteristics, but only know how to "imitate others", so it's no wonder that they can only play third- and fourth-rate roles that are unknown to the public. I remember that there was an American lady who took a photo in a photo studio in Shanghai, and when I took it back, the photographer repaired a sunken mark on her chin.Maybe because this lady is an art student, she was very upset at the time and asked the photographer why she had to fix it.Of course the photographer explained that it looked better this way, and she said, "Whether it looks good or not, it's something on my face, and you shouldn't have it removed."

Of course, people who study art can't help being a bit eccentric, but this also shows that the "truth" mentioned in art is one of the conditions of beauty after all.If you make yourself not like yourself and lose the truth you should have, then you can't talk about "beauty". If you love yourself and want others to love you for who you are, then you don't have to imitate others, but develop what you are and make it shine.
