I remember what my teacher once said. Media is promoting vanity nowadays. Who would oppose? I wouldn’t because it’s true. From commercials to TV shows themselves, vanity is everywhere. And I think nobody can be blamed for this because nobody wants to look ugly, right? Some would even alter their appearances to a major extent just to hide what they have been born with.

I had planned to read it during the first few weeks of this year, but I had too much in my mind at that time. Last June 29, I finally decided to start reading it.
