The woman in this photo is called Cheng Lin, who is called "the first generation of Internet celebrities" by the post-80s and post-90s.
Her styling may look a bit "earthy" now, but 10 years ago she was the internet goddess sought after by all 80s and 90s.
I believe that many people have appeared in her space, and even many post-90s will take her photo as their QQ avatar and space background.
If you said you didn't know her at the time, then you were outdated, you were no fashion.
I believe that many people have not heard of her big name now, but Fengjie everyone should have heard of it, she is an Internet celebrity who can be compared with Fengjie.
However, in that era, she failed to grasp the traffic password and did not follow the trend, so she still did not have a great reputation.
Now she opens the live broadcast will still have thousands of people pouring into the live broadcast room, the bullet screen will generally appear some "you are no longer sweet and cute" "at that time you were the goddess in the minds of our whole class boys", seeing these she just replied faintly: I am now more than 30 years old.
If she could continue to follow the path of Internet celebrity at that time, then she would definitely become a phenomenon-level Internet celebrity and be sought after by everyone.
She is a woman of beauty and talent.
What is it that makes her popular all over the Internet?
How hot was she back then?
Let's walk into today's story and explore the story of the top of the Internet celebrity industry at that time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > is not only sweet and cute but also a bully:</h1>
I believe that when everyone goes to school, they will always meet such a person.
Not only are they good-looking, but their academic performance is also very superior, and the family conditions are not to be said.
To put it bluntly, it is better than anyone else.
The protagonist of today's story, Cheng Lin, is such a person, Cheng Lin was born in Huangshi City, Hubei Province on February 3, 1989, her parents are business people, so since she was a child, Cheng Lin's life is very superior, living a life of pampering.
Since birth, Cheng Lin's father has been doubly fond of this girl and will take care of all aspects of life.
When she was a child, when other children were playing hide-and-seek and playing with mud, Cheng Lin had already got her first four-wheeled bicycle.
In the 1980s, it was a very elegant thing to have a bicycle of her own in the village, so Cheng Lin was also loved and envied by the children in the village.
Soon, Cheng Lin reached the age of primary school, she inherited the IQ of her parents, and she was able to pass the top of the class without much hard work in her studies.
Moreover, her cheerful personality and sweet appearance are also deeply loved by classmates and teachers.
In elementary school, she served as the class president, so she also developed strong social skills.
With the passage of time, Cheng Lin went to junior high school, and girls at that age began to develop slowly, and Cheng Lin's appearance became more and more beautiful, and many little boys would express their admiration for her.
At that time, there were no girls who would call for their favorite stars every day, and there were not so many variety shows and TV series.
Cheng Lin's favorite star is Jacky Cheung, her favorite song is "A Thousand Sad Reasons" and "Every Day More You Love More", at that time, she secretly bought Jacky Cheung's posters and albums with the money given by her parents, and also took out her own pressure money to buy an mp3, every day she would take mp3 to listen to Jacky Cheung's songs on the road.
After going to high school, Cheng Lin paid more attention to her appearance, and she began to tinker with her own style.
When she came to the barbershop, she got bangs and curly hair, and dyed her hair blonde.
As soon as she arrives at the end of school, she will haunt the clothing store, and every day she will try some novel styles, and I have to say that Cheng Lin's style has affected the aesthetics of many post-90s.
Soon Cheng Lin ushered in the most important college entrance examination in her life, and she played well and was finally admitted to Wuhan University.
It really doesn't give people a way to live, not only looks good, but also learns so well.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > quickly get out of the loop with sweet looks and exquisite outfits:</h1>
After going to college, Cheng Lin went on a rampage like a wild horse that had lost her reins, and her life was advancing all the way.
There is a lot of leisure time in college, so Cheng Lin will spend a lot of time to dress herself, and her maverick behavior on dressing makes her quickly become a prominent figure in the school.
Once when the school evaluated the flowers of Wuhan University, Cheng Lin became the school flower of Wuhan University at that time with an absolute lead.
With the popularity of the Internet, Cheng Lin also began to publish some of her daily life on the Internet, and soon she gained a large number of fans, and she was also known as the first of the Internet beauties in 2007.
Cheng Lin from the beginning of the slight restraint to the later gradual release of self, she saw that the background of many netizens' QQ space is themselves, QQ avatar is themselves, an indescribable sense of satisfaction gushed into her heart.
She bought her own clothing store and ran it with her friends, when clothes with Cheng Lin's label were often snapped up.
In that era, there was no Meitu Xiuxiu, no no other camera, the original camera under Cheng Lin's sweet appearance, bright eyes and snow-white skin were highly sought after by netizens.
To talk about Cheng Lin's hottest period is the five years from 2006 to 2010, in 2006 Cheng Lin uploaded a selfie online.
In the photo, Cheng Lin is dressed in fashion, with Qi bangs, big eyes and a sweet smile for a time to circle countless fans, many male netizens after 80 and 90 have called her the Internet goddess.
I don't know if you remember that qq popularity in that era was the highest, and the aesthetic of that era was a niche aesthetic (abbreviation: non-mainstream).
Cheng Lin's shape just fit the aesthetics of the public at that time, so in 2006, the boom that belonged to Cheng Lin was wave after wave, and if it was changed to now, Cheng Lin might be able to become a million Internet celebrities.
And the network at that time was not as developed as it is now, although Cheng Lin's photos were widely circulated on the Internet, but everyone still did not know who this beautiful woman was.
So some criminals began to use Cheng Lin's photos to swindle everywhere, they first replaced their QQ avatar with Cheng Lin, and then used some gentle tone to chat with male netizens, and finally cheated money, that is, Q coins at that time.
There are also many people who take Cheng Lin's photos to trick their friends and treat this as entertainment.
Over time, Cheng Lin was well known by countless people, and people at that time knew cheng Lin as a figure.
At that time, Cheng Lin not only entered a period of rise in her career, but even love was the same.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" > a good story about the talented woman:</h1>
In 2006, it can really be called the "year of network chenglin".
Because in that year, Cheng Lin was so successful, not only was her career booming, but love also followed.
Ye Jian was the president of the Student Union of Wuhan University at that time, his appearance was very handsome, he had a feeling of contemporary small fresh meat, and regardless of family conditions or his own conditions, Ye Jian was quite outstanding.
At that time, Ye Jian realized that Cheng Lin was the flower of Wuhan University, he saw that this girl was very beautiful, and after understanding it, he felt that he liked Cheng Lin.
So he began to pursue wildly, and after a few months, Cheng Lin "fell" and the two fell in love.
Whenever the two walk on campus together, they will win the attention of those around them.
Ye Jian also gave a great degree of help to Cheng Lin's career, and whenever Cheng Lin felt that she could not persevere, Ye Jian would encourage her.
Gradually, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, every time Cheng Lin goes out to shoot, Ye Jian will serve as her photographer, Ye Jian's photography technology is also very recognized by Cheng Lin, and many online red photos are from Ye Jian's hand.
However, the two still can't withstand the torture of time, and after graduating from college, the two choose to break up peacefully, and the two who once loved each other also parted ways.
Although the two broke up, the relationship was still very good, and after many years of college, the two saw each other again.
Cheng Lin was more feminine and more and more beautiful, but Ye Jian had faded from the appearance of a teenager and grown into a middle-aged uncle.
I don't know if Ye Jian regretted seeing such an excellent Cheng Lin?
However, the past has finally passed, and Cheng Lin also said on the Internet: "I am very grateful for Ye Jian's help to me over the years, and it can be said that without Ye Jian, there would be no me now." ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > peak can not be retained after all, new people come to the old people to go:</h1>
After graduating from university, Cheng Lin began to engage in some clothing design, founded her own clothing brand, and had a good life.
But with the advent of the information age, the daily redundant news makes us forget that there is such a person as Cheng Lin.
QQ has become an ivory tower for some minors, and WeChat has become a new social software.
The emergence of major short video platforms, countless beautiful women and handsome men come into view, many people may have seen it once, the next time you can't see it, maybe it is the sadness of this era.
In 2019, Cheng Lin registered her social account on the short video platform, in which she briefly introduced herself, and the beauty filter seemed to make us strange to the people we saw.
Her first video was only a few thousand likes, not even some small Internet celebrities, which made countless people who knew her lament that the peak could not be retained. When she turned on the live broadcast, sometimes hundreds of people and sometimes thousands of people, the most common thing that appeared on the barrage was "You give me a strange feeling." ”
Sure, more than a decade has passed, and even if it is well maintained, it will not help.
She interacts with her fans every day, and she pays close attention to every bullet screen.
Cheng Lin is now 32 years old, and according to her own description, she has been married for 5 years and has children.
Many people said that Cheng Lin was his youth.
Indeed, every generation has its own things, and Cheng Lin carries too many memories of the post-80s and 90s.
Will you remember that what was popular in those days was not Morgan hot, not tin foil hot, but explosive heads, Qi bangs.
Years and years are similar, and people can't help themselves!
