Do ugly people deserve to be laughed at?

If you don't look good, I'll give you a chance to have a facelift. Do you want to go?

Recently, there is a Korean drama, the title of which looks like Mary Su's works at first glance. It is called My ID is Jiangnan Beauty (hereinafter referred to as Jiangnan Beauty). In fact, "Jiangnan beauty" refers to South Korea's "cosmetic beauty", which originated in Jiangnan, South Korea and is famous for cosmetic surgery. It tells the story that the heroine Jiang Meilai was bullied because she was ugly when she was a child, so she risked her life to have a big plastic surgery, but she faced many storms.

This theme is not uncommon in China or South Korea in recent years.

In 2006, Ugly Woman traveled all over China and South Korea, telling that Hannah, who has a natural voice, can only lip-synch because of her obesity. After plastic surgery, she became a singer and became popular. 20 14, a cosmetic diary starring Bai Baihe, tells the story of a famous college student whose face looks like "the scene of a car accident" who climbed out of the bottom of his life after cosmetic surgery, but became a joke after being exposed.

In this society, ugly people often face unfair treatment, but plastic surgery is not a glorious thing, and "false beauty" has become the target of public criticism. This is like a deformed cycle, which makes people trapped in it doubt themselves and forces people who are not born with good conditions to have no way out.

Jiangnan South brought us into a world of "value first" in a slightly dramatic way.

At the beginning of the play, the heroine Jiang Meilai scored passers-by everywhere. Her eyes are like an accurate scanner, analyzing the aesthetic degree and cosmetic situation of the five senses from top to bottom, and finally getting a score.

Before the plastic surgery, Jiang Meilai was called "Ginger Pig" because of her ugly appearance, and her confession was also ridiculed. When entering the university, most boys in the school will treat others with their faces, and they are even more unscrupulous about the defects of girls' face value. Jiang Meilai, who became beautiful after plastic surgery, has never been laughed at because of ugliness, but she has been involved in waves of "Jiangnan Beauty" because of the obvious traces of plastic surgery.

Boys are always perfunctory when they praise Jiang Meilai. The reason is naturally simple, and the beauty of beauty is reformed. But have they ever wondered which girl wants her face cut beyond recognition, not to get the respect she deserves? It is their rash comments on a person's appearance that are the chief culprit of cosmetic surgery.

Murphy once denounced the "Yan value theory" in a program called "Four Famous Helpers".

In the program, the male guest hoped to become popular by imitating South Korea's "small fresh meat" cosmetic surgery, claiming that "face value should precede ability", but Morphy interrupted him angrily and commented that "as long as there is face value, it can be red" is nonsense. Behind the star's popularity and face value is the struggle and dedication of day and night that ordinary people can't see.

Indeed, there are many stars in China now who can attract a lot of attention with a good-looking face. Although his acting skills are poor, it is inevitable that he can still occupy the leading role in major film and television dramas.

In daily life, I believe that everyone has been nicknamed "Fat Man" and "Black Man" when he was a teenager, and it has long been a common fact that handsome men can get more people's love and attention.

In Zhihu, Weibo and other major social platforms, face value can often set off a wave of hot spots: Wang Demin, an oil academician who looks like Daniel Wu, the most handsome bus driver and the most beautiful steamed stuffed bun shop owner ... face value can help a person get more invisible benefits under the same strength.

Therefore, the plot that boys are treated differently and compared in public because of girls' face value in Jiangnan South is particularly realistic, and it may be even worse in real life. Jiang Meilai, the heroine of the play, struggled for a whole youth in the pain of being teased about her appearance, and was even forced to try to commit suicide by jumping into the river. In contrast, when a beautiful, elegant and naturally sweet woman interviews a waiter in a coffee shop, the boss's eyes shine like a treasure, saying, "There is nothing to learn, you just need this."

Therefore, it is not groundless for the guests in the "Four Famous Helpers" program to say that "face value should precede ability". But Murphy's evaluation needs us to think deeply.

Nowadays, when we evaluate a person, it is often inseparable from the evaluation of appearance. "People who are good-looking and hard-working are really amazing." Isn't the subtext "Don't good-looking people need to work hard?" This not only encourages the fashion of cosmetic surgery and suicide to lose weight, but also makes more and more people think that appearance is also an ability.

Therefore, if you have face, you can be willful. If you have face, you dare to despise the looks of others. If you have a face, you can compare the looks of others at will.

In this way, girls and boys who are slightly more attractive may be more willing to choose jobs that can easily get money by their looks, such as live broadcast, and what's more, they are "kept".

But should this condition, which you naturally cannot choose, really be put on the table for public discussion? Just like the "poor disease" in Death to Live, isn't it an "ugly disease" to judge people by their appearances?

There is a joke that when the prince saw Snow White, he said, "What a beautiful girl." From the time of Andersen, this is a world of judging people by their appearances.

It is undeniable that appearance is the most intuitive expression of a person's comprehensive quality. And the pursuit of beauty is also human nature.

Without people's pursuit and appreciation of beauty, the world will face collapse. Daily chemical industry, film and television industry, clothing industry, etc. They all take the pursuit of beauty as their core value.

A person's clean and generous appearance, always smiling, will make him shine like sunshine from the inside out. In a society where the pace of life is so fast and the national pressure is so great, isn't it important to manage your appearance by yourself? Important.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing beauty. What is wrong is to judge a book by its cover.

My friend Xiao once said to me: "I don't understand why Xiao B (a beautiful student in our high school) is still working so hard." She is so beautiful that she can obviously choose any rich family in our city (they are fellow villagers) to be housewives. "

In her view, beauty can be used as a kind of capital and condition. With this capital, you can get everything you want without effort. However, appearance will deteriorate. How can you be so proud when your youth is gone and your heart is empty?

Shakespeare said that the beauty without virtue is fleeting; But because there is a beautiful soul in your beauty, your beauty will last forever.

In the sixth episode of "Beautiful Jiangnan", the ridiculed girls gave the boys a big counterattack, went on strike collectively and refused to help them organize activities. One of the girls said, "Are we the goods in the shop? Some look good, and some don't. " In another scene, naturally beautiful men and mothers are also troubled by their beautiful appearance. She once thought, "Praising my beauty means respecting me."

Yes, when everyone only evaluates your appearance, you are like a commodity, naked on the balance of comparison. People will selectively ignore your efforts and inner self because of your appearance. How can there be respect?

What is rare is that the man in the film keeps the mentality of seeing the essence through appearances from beginning to end, silently paying attention to and helping the woman who is bullied because of her appearance. The mother of the man does not judge a book by its cover, and extends a warm hand at the critical moment when the woman mainly jumps into the river.

The world may not be so friendly to ugly people, but there are still many people who pay more attention to connotation than exterior.

Therefore, for you who read this article, although you are born with beauty, please don't eat your appearance as a meal; Even if you are not necessarily so beautiful, please treat life with confidence.

Don't maliciously laugh at the conditions that others can't choose, and give yourself and others due respect.
