Anxiety about appearance, getting married and starting a family is very common among young Chinese adults due to prevalent influence of social media on their daily life.

在社交媒体的广泛影响下，中国年轻人普遍存在对容貌、结婚和成家的焦虑。

Filtered-to-perfection videos and photos cause millennials and Gen Zers to pay too much attention to their looks and become less confident about themselves.

视频和照片的滤镜美颜功能使得千禧一代和Z世代太过关注自己的外表，变得越来越不自信。

While many young women think they are not good-looking enough if they take a picture without a filter, some young parents even transfer their appearance anxiety to the next generation – making their babies wear corrective helmets for a "perfect round head shape."

许多年轻女性认为如果不用滤镜拍照，自己就不够好看，而一些年轻父母甚至把这种容貌焦虑转移到下一代身上——为让自己的宝宝拥有“完美的圆头”，不惜给孩子戴上矫正头型的头盔。
