Nowadays people are making themselves beautiful in Korean ways.
“Thank goodness you have double eyelids(双眼皮). Your parents will save a lot of money.” said a family friend when I was five years old. Double eyelids, which almost all the white people have, are rare among Northeast Asians. Only 25% of South Koreans are born with double eyelids.
I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money until this summer. When I came back to Seoul, everywhere I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics(整形诊所) and advertisements with South Korean women—tall, thin, with milky skin, long legs, nice big eyes and perfect noses. I found that South Korean beauty meant looking as “white” as possible.
Cosmetic surgery has a kind of magical attraction to women — the promise of beauty. Women are often sure that suffering is necessary and worthy in order to be beautiful. This suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to a better-looking child and a better life.
Appearance is starting to be more important in work places. People with good appearance can have more chances. For example, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and very tall, gets more job chances than his best friend, who is short and heavy, though both of them came from the same college, had the same good marks in their studies. In fact, many South Koreans believe that physical beauty equals happiness.

Did you walk into the cinema on National Day and watch the movie “ The Battle at Lake Changjin (《长津湖》)”? It’s about how the new China helped North Korea to push back the American soldiers. It is not only the movie itself that makes people touched, but the heroes of the war who fought for our country and the people.
Let’s take a close look at the real-life history behind the movie. Changjin Lake is in North Korea. The Battle (战役) at Lake Changjin was in a very cold winter with temperatures of around -40°C. In the 1950s, our Chinese soldiers had to face life-and-death problems when they got on the train to enter North Korea. A US enemy plane bombed (轰炸) the trains, and the soldiers had to quickly move into the mountains and forests to hide. I still deeply remembered a picture in the movie. In order not to expose the target (暴露目标), they stayed in the ice and snow without any moving. Although the follow-up troops (后续部队) killed the enemy and won the battle, unluckily 125 soldiers were frozen (冻) to death. This is a movie about war and people. Many people can’t help crying after watching this movie, because our Chinese soldiers used their lives to guard (保卫) the country and the people.
It is the loveliest persons who guarded China’s great rivers and mountains. However, many of them never have the chance to see the beautiful mountains and rivers again. The movie “The Battle at Lake Changjin” wants to tell today’s young people: though we live in an age without war, we should never forget the true heroes in the history!
