How beautiful is China's first national model? Why are they all beautiful? Netizens said that there were too many normal aesthetics in those years.

In recent years, many China models selected by foreign media and luxury brands have a strange face: cake face, freckles, hanging eyes and high cheekbones, which are called "Oriental beauty" and "advanced face". But do our beautiful women in China really look like this? Obviously not.

This is just some foreigners' stereotype of Asians and the subsequent smearing and uglification. Just like the cultural invasion, they want to subtly change China people's perception of beauty and the world's impression of China's beauty. This can be seen from the strange design in the definition of China introduced by those luxury goods every year.

The true beauty of China is not like this in the past, nor is it like this now. Today, let's take a look at the first batch of supermodels in China in the 1980s, and we will know how ridiculous the so-called "oriental beauty" of foreigners is.

During 1989, New Silk Road Group held the first national model competition, which set an example for the model selection behind China. In that model selection contest, beautiful women from all over the country gathered in Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center. The model lineup is described as a "fairy fight" in the current words.

The beauties who can appear on the stage are all real beauties, which is also the first generation of "national model" in China. From these old photos alone, we can see that the models selected at that time were breathtaking.

First, let's look at Ye Jihong, the champion at that time. Ms Ye Jihong comes from Harbin in the northeast of China, and there is a cool and noble light between her eyes on the stage. The bridge of the nose is naturally tall and straight, killing a big plastic nose; Lips and teeth have a surging charm of life, which makes people feel like spring breeze. Her beauty makes people dare not look directly at it, and this championship trophy is well deserved.

After winning the prize, Ye Jihong also had some contact and endorsement with Shang Yan, but the next year she faded out of the modeling world. She founded an art company in 1994, and later married a Chinese-American, leading a normal life. Occasionally, in interviews, talking about the experience of that year is just an understatement. In her mind, modeling is just an episode on the road of life, and career and family are her real stage.

Bai Qing, the runner-up in that competition, also has extraordinary beauty. Judging from the old photos at that time, Bai Qing's eyes were bright, her teeth were white, her facial features were regular, her figure was graceful, and her posture was graceful, which was quite like the atmosphere of CCTV hostess today. However, Bai Qing retired soon after the game, and he didn't want to be disturbed too much by outside scouts. Therefore, Bai Qing's experience can no longer be found on the Internet. If you want to see her, I'm afraid you can only look through the pictures and video records of the competition that year.

Ms Yao Peifang, the third runner-up, is also very strong. Her facial features are quite exquisite and harmonious, and it feels quite natural to put them together. Ms Yao Peifang is a typical Jiangnan woman in China. Her gestures exude the classic beauty of men, just like Lin Daiyu in A Dream of Red Mansions and the reincarnated stone of beauty in Yue.

She not only won the third place in the National Fashion Model Performing Arts Competition in 1989, but also won the gold medal in the Shanghai TV Model Competition in the same year. Since then, Yao Peifang's supermodel road has been smooth sailing and she has become a famous beauty. Like Bai Qing and Ye Jihong, she retired soon after three years and chose to lead a normal life.

Of course, all the contestants in that model contest were gorgeous except the top three. What is a senior face? What is Oriental Beauty? These talents are our representative beauties in East Asia. Have any of them ever had freckles, cake faces and hanging eyes?

There are thousands of kinds of beauty, but to be fair, is the stereotype evaluation of China by foreign countries really the beauty we agree with? No wonder netizens are saying that the aesthetics in those days were much more normal than now. Now everyone just blindly pursues foreign aesthetics, but loses their own judgment on beauty.

Pictures are more powerful and persuasive than words, and the description of words can't avoid subjective colors, which can't be avoided even in historical works such as Historical Records, but photos are different. They are objective and true, just like these first-generation models, words can't describe their beauty. Only photos can appreciate their amorous feelings.
