- Anxious, depressed about looks since school, jealous of classmates
- Has 10 eyelid operations, nose jobs, bone shaving
An 18-year-old woman who has spent 4 million yuan (US$563,000) on plastic surgery over five years in a bid to look like an acting star has shocked mainland social media.
Zhou Chuna, from Zhejiang province in eastern China, had been obsessed with having plastic surgery since she was 13 years old because she wanted to be as pretty as her favourite Chinese actress, Esther Yu, and dreamed of becoming famous.
Zhou has had more than 100 operations, all paid for by her parents, Toutiao News reported.
Since her school days, she had been anxious and depressed about her appearance, and felt uncomfortable when relatives and family friends said she did not look like her attractive mother.
Later, when Zhou studied at an international school in Shanghai, she believed her classmates were prettier and more confident.
