From ancient times to the present, there has been an endless debate about whether a person's fate and life trajectory are really related to his appearance.
In our life, do high-value people really enjoy different treatment?
Before answering this question, let me tell two true stories.
Is such a boy handsome?
19 years old, tall, excellent in character and learning, and got a full scholarship when he graduated from high school. He is an all-star in school wrestling.
Later, he was admitted to the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth.
The famous American magazine Rolling Stone even took him as the cover figure.
What we didn't know, however, was that such a radiant person was actually one of the masterminds of the Boston Marathon bombing: Dzhokhar Charles Najev.
The Boston Marathon bombing was a terrorist attack that shocked the whole world. The number of casualties is as high as 176, and the property losses are countless. Three of them died (1 from China), and 17 were in critical condition.
Behind this terrorist attack, hundreds of families were implicated. They were either disabled or sick and spent their whole lives.
It stands to reason that it is not too much for such a heinous person to be sentenced to death.
However, just because he is handsome, a large number of brain-dead powder like him, and thousands of American girls show their love for him.
They set up a fan group, printed Dzhokhar Chaer Najev's head on his chest clothes, took to the streets to demonstrate and asked the court not to sentence him to death.
Dzhokhar Charles Najev also has a brother named Tamerlan Charles Najev, who is also the mastermind of the Boston Marathon bombing, but just because he has grown up like this, no one will defend him.
In the end, Dzhokhar Charles Najev was sentenced to death. However, due to the influence of appeal and public opinion, the execution time is far away, and it is very likely that he will survive or be executed again decades later.
Speaking of which, there is a fact that you have to admit that a person's appearance can really change his fate.
Coincidentally, a North Korean female spy named Jin Xianji planted a bomb on a South Korean passenger plane in 1987, which eventually led to the explosion of the plane. 1 15 innocent lives were lost in vain in this incident.
Later, Jin Xianji was arrested. At the press conference organized by South Korea, Jin Xianji had a good attitude of admitting his mistake and kept apologizing and crying.
After the press conference, a miracle happened. Young men from North Korea showed their love to Jin Xianji in succession. Every day, they send a thick stack of marriage proposal letters to Jin Xianji, asking Jin Xianji to marry them.
Well, as I'm sure you have guessed, this Jin Xianji is a great beauty.
This was 3 1 years ago. At that time, there was a little gap between makeup and aesthetics, and her appearance was very in line with the aesthetics of men at that time.
Finally, due to Jin Xianji's guilty attitude and his beauty, he was pardoned and acquitted.
After such a big incident, ugly agents will usually be executed, beautiful agents will be pleaded, and it is a pity to die. This is the advantage of looks.

There are always many people who say that good looks are only good, and there is nothing bad. In fact, people who have this idea have not touched the root cause. Everything is a double-edged sword, both good and bad.
You take advantage of your looks, and these "advantages" will hurt you in turn.
We are now in a peaceful society, and our personal safety can be greatly guaranteed, but once a war breaks out, the first victim is a beautiful woman.
During World War II, Germany occupied France, and many beautiful women in France were forced to be "good" with German men because of their outstanding looks.
Until 1944, the French drove away the Germans and France was liberated.
The first thing they have to do is to catch those French women who "commit adultery" with the Germans.
These women were shaved, stripped naked and paraded through the streets with whips.
Many women can't stand this insult and choose to commit suicide.
Since ancient times, beautiful women have always been victims of war. If they win the war, they will be humiliated by their compatriots. If they lose the war, they will be humiliated by the invaders.
Maybe you will say, we are now in a peaceful era, and what you said can't happen.
I'm going to tell this story next.
Marlene dietrich in The Beautiful Legend of Sicily is so beautiful that all the men in the town have wild desires and all the women in the town are jealous of her.
Later, she was stripped naked, her hair was cut off, her nose and mouth were bleeding, and she was thrown into the street to demonstrate.
In this world, the beautiful will always be a minority, most people are just ordinary people, and most people will oppress and crowd out a few people, which is inevitable anyway.
Yan value is a double-edged sword. A higher number will double the chance, but once it eats itself, the effect will double.
You can change a person's behavior, but you can't change an idea. This is the fate that the other person must bear.

Daniel Wu said his face value was very high. I'm afraid there is no objection?
But he also has his own troubles. He said that every time others just want to take a photo with him and don't want to talk about some issues in depth.
In other words, people directly think that he is just handsome and don't ask him, or he just needs to be handsome. It doesn't matter whether there is connotation or not.
Daniel Wu has been trapped in this place for decades. In order to get rid of the face advantage, he deliberately took on some ugly plays, such as the monk in Tai Chi, the father-in-law in Tiequan, and the cold-blooded, twisted and crazy tragic figure in Xin Never Surrender.
He said that he was very excited and looking forward to such a performance, because he could finally make the audience ignore his appearance, conquer the audience with acting skills and language, get rid of the shackles of face, and let the audience really recognize their efforts.
Peter Dinraki believes that many people know him. His appearance is not outstanding, and his height is only 1.35 meters.
But anyone who has seen Game of Thrones will fall in love with him crazily.
"The light pouring down, his figure across the yard. At this moment, Tyrion Lannister stands as straight as a king, and his acting skills are superb.
His deformed figure has brought him infinite disgust and trouble, but all this can't stop him from becoming a film emperor and gaining a batch of fans.
He said:
I have waited too long in this world to let myself fail. Please don't ask, don't tell the world that you are ready. Let go, fight and lose, fight and lose, the whole world is yours!
In fact, most of us will grow very ordinary, not too ugly, not too beautiful, which is doomed by heaven, don't think about plastic surgery to change. When you get old, you will find too many sequelae.
Study, keep fit and learn to live a good life. Although your appearance cannot be changed, you can still decide your figure and temperament. A person's appearance can't decide everything.
Let's end with one sentence:
If a high-value life is an idol drama, a low-value life can also stage an inspirational drama. Different conditions, different ways of living, what kind of drama is not important, mainly because your plot is wonderful or not. As long as it is wonderful, you will always find your own fans.
