DO IRISH WOMEN DRESS VERY DIFFERENTLY FROM THE CHINESE?
The Irish tend to be very classic during the day, but dress up at night. In China we are more modest and we don’t have girls’ nights out. In China we use umbrellas to protect our skin in summer whereas here they like tanning. ARE ATTITUDES TO MODELLING THE SAME HERE AS IN CHINA? In China modelling is not seen as a real job, but as an easy way to find a husband and start a family. Girls start young with little education, but here girls figure out a future in a different way, by going to college, for example. WHAT ABOUT WEIGHT? I eat Chinese food every single day and I never watch my weight. I do put it on, but I lose it easily, too. I found the London models skinny and I was the biggest one there. WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT MODELLING? I like being on the stage. It’s like a quick fix for me and I get so excited waiting to see my pictures in magazines. I send everything home to my mother in Beijing. One day I can look back and tell my friends; this was me then. WHAT ABOUT FUTURE PLANS ?
