An example to follow

Liu Zeyu, born in 1992, is an advocate online for cosmetic surgery and has posted before and after cosmetic surgery photos of himself that he hopes encourages others to follow his example.

"You can't be blamed for being born with a plain face, but if you can be made to look more attractive, why not? Being good-looking is great."

He works for an IT company, and is at the same time a singer, model and host on live streaming websites. He also talks about his experience of cosmetic surgery on forums and apps.

Liu started having cosmetic surgery when he was 18 and attributes his successful career largely to the fact that he is good-looking.

"Being good-looking is a big advantage. If two people are alike in many ways, the more attractive one is always more popular. If someone decides to spend money on cosmetic surgery it's a personal choice that harms no one else."
