Makeup
“You can’t weigh love on a balance. It’s not as if after finding a better person, you will be able to let go of someone you loved before. How can you weigh the love for them both?” So long in english, but only 10 words in Mandarin. I was wowified.
I was suddenly made aware of a part of the culture here that I couldn’t understand before. Back then, I asked, why not as many girls wear makeup here. Then the answer came. It’s a shame to wear makeup. People lookup at natural toned moistured white skin and shun at any kind of makeups. Natural beauty is actually more important. Makeup is also related to sex industry… It’s all in the culture. “The way to do things in a place”
The problem that arise with this is that even ugly people don’t wear makeups. Shit.
