8 years ago, a 19-year-old girl insisted on plastic surgery to become Liu Yifei, and even changed her name to "Li Yifei".
Bone scraping, eyebrow lifting, eye bag cutting, nose padding...
After several cosmetic surgeries, she has long since lost her original appearance.
Now that 8 years have passed, does she regret it?

An obsession about beauty
In 2016, a man named Li Yifei attended the opening ceremony of the Tsingtao Beer Festival.
Dressed in a golden dress, she stood in the spotlight, like a star.
Subsequently, Li Yifei won the first place in the 2017 "Looking for Yiwan Star Face" beauty pageant.
On stage, she played the piano elegantly and danced lightly in classical dance.
At this moment, she seems to have really become her idol - Liu Yifei.
However, what she didn't expect was that she was not surrounded like an idol, but kept questioning.
Some people questioned that she used her plastic surgery face to participate in the beauty pageant, which was unfair to other contestants.
There are even some sharp comments that point directly at Li Yifei's values, believing that her behavior reflects the impetuousness and excessive pursuit of appearance among contemporary young people.
These voices were like a basin of cold water, poured on Li Yifei's head, who was immersed in the joy of fame.
But no matter what, she is now standing on a higher stage.
And the reason why she can be like this is because she has plastic surgery and has become her idol "Liu Yifei".
Li Yifei is actually not her real name, but the name she changed in order to make herself more like an idol, her original name was Li Jinghan.
From an early age, she showed an extraordinary talent for art. Piano, erhu, dance, proficient in everything.
Originally, she should have achieved good results in various art performances in her life, but she fell in love with star-chasing.
At that time, the broadcast of "The Family of Gold Powder" made her deeply infatuated with Liu Yifei, the actor of Bai Xiuzhu.
The face that seemed to come out of the painting, that otherworldly temperament, was deeply engraved in Li Jinghan's mind.
From that moment on, Li Jinghan began to pursue Liu Yifei almost frantically.
She collects posters and magazines of her idols, imitates her dress, and even learns the exact same tone of voice.
Once, a classmate inadvertently said, "You look a bit like Liu Yifei." This unintentional move made her even more crazy and began to imitate idols.
She began to look at her face in the mirror repeatedly, not looking for similarities, but for what else was different.
Li Jinghan began to study how to make herself more like Liu Yifei through makeup.
In her eyes, becoming Liu Yifei is the ultimate goal of life.
However, with the passage of time, mere imitation can no longer satisfy Li Jinghan.
She began to have a bold idea: plastic surgery.
But plastic surgery requires a lot of money, and as a minor, Li Jinghan obviously can't afford it alone.
She plucked up the courage to propose the idea to her parents, but was met with firm opposition.
It wasn't until after the college entrance examination that she was admitted to Qingdao Agricultural University as she wished, leaving the supervision of her parents, that she finally had the freedom to pursue her dreams.
From fine-tuning to full-face makeovers
During college, Li Jinghan began to work frantically to make money.
With her good looks, she often takes on some part-time jobs in car models and etiquette.
However, even if you save money, the money you save is far from enough for a full face facelift.
Just when Li Jinghan was worried about raising money, the opportunity came.
She participated in a rookie model contest and unexpectedly won the championship.
What surprised her even more was that the sponsor of the competition was a plastic surgery hospital.
The plastic surgery hospital took a fancy to Li Jinghan's commercial value and made an attractive offer: to perform a full-face plastic surgery for her free of charge, on the condition that she cooperate with the hospital's publicity activities throughout the process.
For Li Jinghan, this is simply a pie falling from the sky.
However, when the plastic surgeon explained the surgical plan in detail, Li Jinghan hesitated.
To achieve the best results, she needed to undergo multiple major surgeries, including bone shaving.
This not only means a huge risk, but also a complete farewell to the original self. But in order to get closer to her idol, she finally decided to undergo surgery.
Glory and doubts after plastic surgery
In July 2016, she held Liu Yifei's photo and lay on the operating table.
The entire operation lasted several hours and included bone shaving, eye bag cutting, nose padding, eyebrow lift, and more.
After a whole month of torment, when Li Jinghan saw herself in the mirror for the first time, she was stunned.
The facial features of the person in the mirror are indeed somewhat similar to Liu Yifei, but that familiar feeling has disappeared.
Before she could react, the plastic surgery hospital began to hype up this case of "one-to-one star-making".
"Beautiful Dream Project", "Liu Li Fangfei" and other gimmicky activities came one after another.
Li Jinghan became an Internet celebrity overnight, and various commercial activities and beauty pageants followed.
However, behind the fame, there are still various doubts.
Faced with overwhelming doubts, Li Yifei chose to ignore it at first.
However, these voices have taken root in her heart, and she knows very well that those compliments are only temporary, and when the heat dissipates, she will most likely become an outcast of the Internet.
This realization made Li Yifei fall into a deep confusion, and she began to reflect on her choices and think about what she really wanted.
In the end, Li Yifei made a decision that surprised everyone.
She turned down many invitations to business events and gave herself a long vacation.
This break gave Li Yifei the opportunity to re-examine her life, and she suddenly realized.
It turns out that there are many ways to prove yourself, and she doesn't need to be someone else.
In this way, Li Yifei made another major decision in his life.
She decided to give up her "star dream" and return to school.
Reinvent yourself
After graduating from university, Li Yifei chose to go abroad for further study with the money he saved from participating in activities during this time.
Here, no one knows "Little Liu Yifei", she is just an ordinary member of many international students.
In the process of studying, Li Yifei gradually found his interest.
She began to focus on the cosmetics industry and came up with the idea of starting her own brand.
After graduating from graduate school, Li Yifei chose to stay in Australia for development.
She first got a job as a piano teacher, and at the same time she was working on her own cosmetics brand.
During this time, her appearance and style have changed dramatically.
8 years have passed, and the 19-year-old girl who insisted on becoming Liu Yifei has now transformed into a mature and confident woman.
She is no longer obsessed with imitating others, but has found her own unique charm.
Spend 4 million for plastic surgery
But this girl is different.
A 15-year-old Shanghai girl has undergone more than 100 cosmetic surgeries in just two and a half years, costing more than 4 million yuan.
The girl, Zhou Chuna, first had the idea of plastic surgery because she felt inferior after entering an international school.
Her plastic surgery covers almost every part of the face, including the eyes, nose, mouth and chin.
In addition to surgery, she regularly undergoes micro-plastic procedures such as liposuction, fillers, and injections.
Among them, I have performed 8 double eyelid surgeries alone, and more than 20 eye openings.
Now she regrets it very much, because plastic surgery has brought him more trouble.
Summary:
There's nothing wrong with chasing stars, but you shouldn't lose yourself. Appearance is important, but inner talent and character are even more precious.
Everyone is a unique individual, and we should cherish and develop our own uniqueness, rather than blindly imitating others.
The beauty of life is not how much you look like, but how much you can be the best version of yourself.
May everyone find their own path in life and shine with unique brilliance!
