How does your country / culture define beauty?
I have recently rewatched an old TV play that played 30 years ago. The TV was about Yang Yuhuan, who was one of the four most beautiful women in Chinese history. The story happened during the Tang dynasty. If you once visited Xi'an where was the captial of the Tang dynasty, you might have appreciated these marvelous murals exhibited in the museums. In the pictures, we can see the women who lived in the Tang Dynasty. They were very charming and each of them featured a chubbiness figures. Chubbiness was thought as one of the most important definitions of beauty during that period. So, you can picture what the main character of the TV play looked like. The role was very famous, so she was shown in many other TV plays and movies. However the actresses later gave up gaining weight to play that role better. A slim figure is even the only definition of beauty at present. I don't want to say more about this topic. Please enjoy the pictures below and confirm your defition of beauty. The woman in the first picture was the character of the old TV play I mentioned above. I will show the actress in the second picture. They are the same person.In fact, she gained 50 kilograms weight in order to play the role better. She is respected!

She is still respected today for having done that!
