Zhu Yan

Q1: I am 25, 185 centimeters tall and tip the scales at 76 kilograms.

Q2: Thin.

Q3: Some female models are too thin, which is terrible. Men? That’s ok.Q4: I only eat beef, chicken and fish as they contain less fat. I eat more vegetables and fruits and I work out 40 minutes to one hour every day.

Q5: I don’t think hunks look good. If a male model is too muscular he does not look right. What we need is a good body shape and muscle tone

Sun Yaman

Q1: I am 177 centimeters tall and weigh 54 kilograms. Can I keep my age secret?

Q2: As a model, I am not that thin, but as an ordinary person, I am thinner than most.

Q3: I cannot give a specific comment on China’s models. Most of them are so slim, but some diamonds company clients prefer plumper models. Some of them have bigger bone structure.Q4: I give myself a little psychological encouragement: I cannot eat too much. Oily foods are out of my life. Also, I do a lot of running and swimming.

Q5: It should be promoted in China, because health comes first. Western female models have fatter body shapes, so they do not worry too much about this.

Li Zheng

Q1: I am 178 centimeters tall, weigh 53 kilograms and I am 22.

Q2: Thin? Yes.

Q3: Come on, no matter if you are an ordinary people or a super-model, every girl wants to be a little bit thinner!

Q4: My private trainer told me I can only eat sweet potatoes, yams and corn as staple foods, but I do not have very good regular dining times due to my work. Oh, and I do participate in sports.

Q5: It is not possible here. Many Chinese clients still think that thin models are best. I think it is not a big problem if you are thin, but you have to look healthy and inspiring.
