Recently, a young fish seller from Sichuan, China, went viral on social media thanks to her stunningly beautiful face.
“Tay Thi fish seller” happy with her chosen work
From the clip, you can see the girl skillfully filleting fish with a knife. Her movements are both practiced and precise, producing neatly cut fresh fish pieces that look just as good as those from a professional restaurant chef.
With such expertise, she must have spent many years working as a fish seller at the market, gaining plenty of experience.
Amidst the messy, dirty fish stalls, this fair-skinned girl stands out with her beautiful face. This contrast quickly made her famous online.
She comes from a rural area. Her family has run a fish stall near their home for several years. Since her parents are fish sellers, she learned how to catch and prepare fish from a young age.
She once worked for two years in another province, but with limited education, her salary was low. Plus, her parents are getting older, so she decided to return home to take care of them.
Now, she wakes up every day at 7 a.m. to open her fish stall at the market, rain or shine, never taking a day off.
Seeing the trend, she also started livestreaming while selling fish. Some even come to watch her skilled hands at work in person.
Without any automatic beauty filters, her natural beauty remains unchanged, still genuine and charming.
In response to the many compliments online, she said: “Only when you work hard at a job that suits you do you feel truly safe. Being beautiful isn’t the most important thing.”
After a few days of going viral, rumors started to spread. Many suspected she was just a gimmick to attract wealthy sponsors and that she had a whole team supporting her behind the scenes.
So she posted another video explaining clearly why she chose this job and revealing the truth that she has no team or backing at all.
It’s clear she now wants to use her fish filleting skills and beauty, combined with the power of social media, to pursue bigger goals.
Many online users hope that after this overnight fame, she will stay true to herself and not become a victim of today’s profit-driven culture.
In today’s digital age, where everyone wants to be famous, reaching the top often means people lose themselves and get trapped with no way out.
Let’s hope this “Tay Thi fish seller” won’t end up like those who get exploited by capital, only to be discarded once their value is used up.
Poor rural girl dives into livestreaming
There was once a topic on Zhihu: What is it like for a beautiful girl from a poor family?
One answer said: “The beauty of poor girls is like a rare gift life gives them.”
Not long ago, a girl named A Khoc (a Chinese transcription), from a Southeast Asian country, went viral on social media for her innocent and beautiful face.
She was born in a poor rural area, with many siblings. Her family of over ten people lived together in a shabby hut.
A Khoc had almost only one outfit and wore oversized men’s sandals. Every day she helped her parents with chores, cooked, and took care of her younger brothers and sisters.
Her father even said that when she was 15, if someone offered two motorbikes, he would let her go with them. It shows how dire their situation was, and A Khoc seemed to be treated like a bargaining chip in a deal.
A man filmed A Khoc with ill intentions and posted a video asking: “Rich guys, who wants to marry this girl?”
Earlier this year, A Khoc reappeared looking more polished and definitely signed with a team. Her current job is livestream dancing.
Standing among other young girls, A Khoc seems a bit stiff and awkward, but probably because she has the most beautiful face, she stands in the center of the camera.
Is she wrong? Many think she is because they believe she’s chasing money. But maybe she isn’t wrong for herself, as this life might meet her needs.
Being beautiful is not a crime and your future is yours to decide!
Women and girls all have the right to be beautiful. Being born with a pretty face is not their fault. Coming from a poor background is also fate.
It’s true that outstanding looks can open more doors these days. But many lose their way and their original heart because of it. In the end, it’s all about each person’s choice.
Hardship makes us crave change and to overcome fate. That’s why many risk everything, even if it means paying a high price.
We hope the “Tay Thi fish seller” and A Khoc find happiness in their lives, stay radiant and smile brightly. We hope they won’t become puppets controlled by others, losing their freedom.
