Isabelle's job is as a marketing assistant for an automotive company. In 2018, she posted a video of her makeup on social media, and within a few moments, the video garnered 200,000 followers and millions of comments.

Isabelle said, "It's crazy! I don't use hand makeup to require a lot of practice and determination, and I guess a lot of people are surprised by this. Isabelle's impressive makeup skills have caused a stir on social media, with 421,000 followers on Ins and 430,200 on TikTok. In the coming months, she will share beauty tips in magazines and Ins.

It is understood that in 2010, Isabelle was expelled from school after being diagnosed with meningitis, and her life changed dramatically. Isabelle's condition deteriorated, and due to a fatal onset of illness, she lost her appetite, suffered cardiac arrest, and multiple organ failure, and was taken to hospital after falling into a coma. Doctors decided to amputate her limb because the ends of her limbs had lost blood circulation and fortunately the 6-hour operation was a success. Isabelle woke up after a week in a coma, she said: "When I woke up, I was still very sick, I was in the hospital for another two months, all the memories were blurred, just remembering the situation at that time confused me. ”

After leaving the hospital, no one knows how Isabelle will take care of herself, and her parents aren't sure if someone needs to take care of her around the clock and whether she should continue to school.

After the amputation, Isabelle had to change her new prosthesis once a year and relearn how to walk and write. Isabelle went on to school, but this time everything was unknown, and no one could empathize with her. Isabelle began sharing videos on YouTube at the age of 14, uploading videos of everyday chores like how she ate, combed her hair, and played with her phone, so she made many amputees online and created groups.

Isabelle said: "My body is the only one I have, so why waste my life and grieve for something I can't change? It taught me that as long as I do it with my heart, I can do it. Now I'm living well, I'm happy and confident in myself and my accomplishments. (Compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
