introduction
In that era when even mobile phone access to the Internet was rare, a girl named Cheng Lin became one of the "originators of non-mainstream Internet celebrities" with her cute and pure appearance and well-designed hair, dominating QQ space, and being the goddess in the minds of countless post-90s.
Now more than ten years have passed, and with the development of the Internet, Internet celebrities have become a special profession, and you can earn a lot of money by shouting a few words in the live broadcast room.
However, Cheng Lin, the originator, disappeared from the Internet, how is she doing now at the age of 37?
From explosion to retirement
Around 2000, because of the popularity of the Internet, a special Gothic trend spread to China, and we generally call that period "non-mainstream".
It may be that they have come into contact with the outside world, and the students who happen to be in adolescence have all taken out that rebellious mentality, and they are proud of their maverick behavior, regardless of men and women, and their hair is getting longer and longer, and they are dyed in various bright colors.
At that time, when I came into contact with the platform of QQ Zone, many first-generation Internet celebrities emerged, all of whom dressed up individually and exaggeratedly, leading the trend at that time.
And Cheng Lin is the originator of Internet celebrities in the non-mainstream period, and her photos have become the best choice for QQ avatars and spaces for many suitors.
But unlike many Internet celebrities who dropped out of junior high school and stayed at home, Cheng Lin is a person with academic qualifications and knowledge.
Accidentally became a fashion vane
In 1987, Cheng Lin was born in a very ordinary family in Huangshi, Hebei Province, and her parents attached great importance to their daughter's education, so they treated her more strictly in learning.
It was also under the correct education of her parents that Cheng Lin was admitted to Wuhan University.
Cheng Lin, like most girls, loved beauty very much after entering junior high school, stole her mother's cosmetics, quietly put on high heels, carefully matched a set of satisfactory clothes, and took selfies at a concave angle.
Under the influence of the non-mainstream trend, she also wore the most fashionable clothes of the time, and blew her towering hairstyle in the same way.
Because she has fair skin and delicate facial features, she mostly takes the Japanese kawaii route, and Datou Biye is her classic photo action.
Cheng Lin posted these photos on the Internet to show off.
In 2005, I don't know who spread these photos, Cheng Lin suddenly became popular on the Internet, and countless people rushed to imitate her outfits, movements, and hairstyles.
Cheng Lin was just an adult child at this time, and she didn't understand the horrors of the Internet.
At first, she enjoyed this feeling very much, and continued to share her life in QQ space, especially after going to college, Cheng Lin directly seized the business opportunity and opened her first clothing store.
In order to make money, Cheng Lin shared a lot of her outfits.
However, Cheng Lin completely ignored the horror of this, there are many scammers who take her photos and avatars to fall in love, sell clothes, and deceive everywhere in the name of Cheng Lin.
Although it was not her fault, Cheng Lin endured a lot of abuse. Where did she experience such a setback, she immediately turned off QQ space and returned to real life.
In this way, Cheng Lin, who was once regarded as a goddess by the post-90s, disappeared from the public eye.
How is she now?
Due to the explosion on the Internet at that time, Cheng Lin closed the physical clothing store, and after she returned to reality, the clothing store was reopened.
For her, making clothes is a hobby, so she is particularly persistent.
On the day of opening the store, although it was very tiring, Cheng Lin enjoyed it. Life goes by like this, day by day, and there is nothing very special.
In 2012, Cheng Lin did something she regretted in her life, she followed the trend of plastic surgery and went to a "American-style big double".
After the operation was completed, the effect was not ideal, and Cheng Lin wore sunglasses for a whole year before her double eyelids slowly recovered.
Fortunately, she talked about a boyfriend who loved him very much, and the two snuggled up to each other, helped each other, and got through the most difficult days together, and also became a family.
In 2013, because of pregnancy, Cheng Lin closed the clothing store she had been running for a long time and concentrated on waiting for childbirth at home.
In early February 2014, Cheng Lin successfully gave birth to a big fat boy.
In the next two years, she completely put aside her clothes and concentrated on taking care of her son and accompanying his son's growth.
But the good times didn't last long, and for some reason, Cheng Lin ended her 4-year marriage and found herself again.
She went to trim her failed eyes and pad her nose, but she was still far from the perfection she had requested.
In the next two years, Cheng Lin was always on the road, traveling around the world, and lived a comfortable life.
Return to the network
In March 2021, Cheng Lin started making clothes again, and also registered a short video account and returned to the Internet.
Netizens were very surprised when they saw her video, and they commented and left messages below, Cheng Lin's appearance reminded everyone of that rebellious era.
Today, she is still active on the Internet, sharing her outfits as she did back then, and sometimes accompanying netizens live broadcasts.
However, due to plastic surgery, some netizens think that Cheng Lin has lost her characteristics and has become a public plastic surgery face, which is also a regret for fans.
Beautiful as a flower and proud of her figure
In Cheng Lin's recent videos, it can be seen that she not only sells clothes, but also becomes a model and often takes pictures.
Even though she is 37 years old this year, she still looks like a little girl in her 20s in terms of appearance and figure.
Although the face has lost its characteristics due to plastic surgery, it still belongs to the big beauty.
The most rare and commendable thing is that Cheng Lin has maintained a highly disciplined life over the years and insisted on exercising every day, so her figure is very well-proportioned, and her flat lower abdomen can't be seen as having a child.
In fact, except for Cheng Lin, most of the first generation of Internet celebrities with her have retired, and some of them have embarked on a road of no return during the rebellious period of the year, giving up the future or even giving up their lives.
In contrast, Cheng Lin, who withdrew in time, is much wiser, she has an understanding of what she can grasp, and even if it is popular, she does not have nostalgia for the uncontrollable Internet, and chooses to return to real life.
It is precisely because of this decision that Cheng Lin has lived out herself and is also able to navigate the network with ease.
