Q: "Lucy Liu does not fit the stanards of Chiense beauty." Say what!?!!

My Chinese friends just told me this. I was floored. She is absolutely gorgeous in my opinion.

I think it's the freckles and the small eyes. The narrow definition of beauty here is really sad.

Stiggs:

Yep. Chinese are told what it is they find attractive.

Ehh...  Oval face, almond eyes, pale skin...  None of these apply to Lucy Liu.

All of you know that its her stardom that gives her an extra "umph" in her beauty/desirability. Im willing to bet if she wasnt a star, and was walking down the street in anytown, China most men (both foreign and chinese) wouldnt give her a second look. Point is, being a celebrity makes one appear more glamorous that what they really are. 

ScotsAlan:

I agree.

Well, I certainly wouldn't kick her out of bed (a second time) for getting cookie crumbs on the mattress.

Chinese are taught and brainwashed to not have their own opinions about anything.

I don't find her that attractive - not in comparison to many other Chinese girls that I've seen... or non-Chinese for that matter. (but then, some of the other Chinese stars I don't find that attractive either... and yes, some others are quite attractive!)

I find her ok but not super hot. If you walk down a street in a big city here in China you will see a few hotties that are better looking than Lucy Liu. I am not saying she is ugly but like sliverbutton1 said her stardom makes her seem more special than she actually is.

Lucy Liu is not a Chinese/Taiwan/Hk actress looking clone. Thus she is not "good looking". Chinese are very strange when it comes to these things and very blunt... not much thought behind... they are told what is beautiful rather than sorting that out for themselves.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
