Chinese Actress He Chenglian's Social Media Post Sparks Debate on Beauty, Talent, and the Role of 'PLUs' in the Entertainment Industry

However, the post also sparked controversy and debate among social media users. He Chenglian's post, which was hashtagged #HeChenglianZhaoLusiPhoto#, featured a smiling group photo of herself with Zhao Lusi and other celebrities.

The caption read, "Didn't expect to take a photo with Lusi too. A dream-like frame." The post quickly gained traction, with many netizens expressing their admiration for the three women. One user wrote, "Wow, they're all so beautiful! I can't tell who the star is in this photo." Another user commented, "He Chenglian and Zhao Lusi are such a perfect match.

They look like sisters in this photo." However, not all netizens were positive about the post. Some users criticized He Chenglian for her appearance, with one user writing, "Let ordinary people take a photo of you and you'll see what an ugly sight you are.

Those who have met you in person know how many harsh words to use to describe a girl." Another user defended He Chenglian, writing, "I don't understand why so many people say He Chenglian is average-looking. In the entertainment industry, she's still considered a top beauty. And among the audience, she's still recognized for her good looks. The entertainment industry doesn't lack heavily-made-up beauties, but natural, fresh-faced leading ladies like He Chenglian are rare."

The post also sparked debate about the role of "PLUs" (pretty little sisters) in the Chinese entertainment industry. Some users argued that PLUs, who are often cast as the younger sisters or love interests of leading actors, are unfairly criticized and judged based on their looks.

One user wrote, "Why is it that PLUs are always subject to such harsh scrutiny? The entertainment industry should be a place where everyone can bloom. Zhao Lusi has proven her acting skills and popularity with her many leading roles. She deserves to be recognized as a top star." Another user added, "PLUs are an important part of the entertainment industry.

They bring freshness and youth to the screen. Instead of criticizing them, we should appreciate their contributions and support them in their careers." Despite the controversy, the post has brought attention to the role of PLUs in the Chinese entertainment industry and sparked debate about the value of beauty and talent in the industry.

With the rise of social media and the increasing influence of netizens, it's clear that these issues will continue to be a topic of discussion and debate in the future.
