The False Eye

2021




One day, my three-year-old niece asked me, "Auntie, you are so fat, why do you wear earrings?"

I was speechless and shocked - why does a three-year-old kid start to judge fatness as unattractive? Can't fat people have the same right to pursue beauty as thin people?

I am also one of those who have been kidnapped by popular aesthetics.

It is as if everyone lives in the eyes of falsehood. People see things in a cloak of social values, and forgets about self and the real.
