字號:

這個女人實在是太強了,還上了CNN。而且還有一個特別酷的名字,不愧為整容女王??!
    不過偶總認為美貌不是的,CNN的視角,看看就好。
    There's no mistaking who runs this plastic surgery clinic in Beijing, there's a life-like mannequin in the foyer, her oversized photo on the wall and there she is. She's Shi Sanba, 56 years old, divorced and walking billboard for almost every cosmetic procedure.
    "I'm an example for all Chinese women who pursue beauty," she told me. "Most of them are my fans."
    Sanba has had a wrinkle-smooth, chin change, nose raise, breast firmed, stomach flattened and more. So many operations, she says, she's lost count. This is how she looked 20 years ago before having any work done. All of this has turned her into a mini celebrity here and that keeps the customers coming in.
    This year she says about 3,000 people had some kind of cosmetic procedure performed by one of the dozens of surgeons who works for her. And while China's economy has dramatically slowed, she doesn't expect any major impact on her business.
    "The desire for beauty is getting stronger and stronger," she says. "The old want to be young, the ugly want to be pretty. "
    23-year- old Feng Xue wants her cheekbones, jaw, chin, lips and nose reshaped.
    "I work in international finance," she says. "I have to meet many different people, and I think a good appearance will help me make a better connection."
    Each year, the Chinese spend more than $2 billion U.S. on some kind of cosmetic procedure. Many undergoing the knife are students often paid for by their parents who believe a better look will lead to a better job.
    Sanba says business picks up during June and July when school finishes. It's all about trying to stand out in a crowd. Not easy when you're in a crowd of more than a billion people. John Vause, CNN, Beijing.
