Pseudo Models
Pseudo-models
Thanks to the media and the model agencies, a considerable number of young ladies are pumped out last summer. Right before June, some of these nameless girls were ordinary students like you and me. Some were working part-time and some were idling the days away. These girls, aged between 17 to at most 24, appear to be a different kind of models—what we now call the pseudo-models.

Being ‘liang-mo’ offers a gateway to the attractive entertainment industry. They do not need to work hard or get good results in public exams in order to start their career.
