Have you seen Liu Wen, a happy, confident and beautiful lady in the recent reality TV show We Are in Love? In the show, Liu and South Korean pop star Choi Siwon pretend to be a couple.

The 27-year-old Liu is so far the most successful Chinese model on the international stage. As a runway regular in Paris, Milan and New York fashion shows, her shiny image has been on the cover of just about every major fashion magazine.

But China’s first supermodel said she hadn’t realized her beauty until recent years. “When I was younger, nobody said I was a pretty girl,” she said. “My smaller eyes were a far cry from the big eyes of the most beloved TV actresses.”

What was unusual for Liu was her height. Her life changed in 2005 after entering a modeling competition. From then on, she stepped out of her hometown in Hunan to Beijing and then in 2008 to New York City.

When she first got to the US, Liu said she only knew three English phrases: hello, thank you and goodbye. But she worked hard, learning the language and developing both friendships and dreams.

Now Liu is one of the world’s top models. She has also been used to hearing people say “You’re beautiful”. “I feel so happy because I’m living my dream,” she said. “For Chinese girls it’s very hard to work internationally. But my fellow Chinese models and I are doing our best despite the challenges we face overseas.

“In this sense, every independent and confident woman should be thought of as beautiful,” she said.
