Well, this is the other extreme. Not too long ago girls were crazy about tan, now this? It's just too funny either way. I feel sad for the poor things.

(Un)Fortunately for me, nature took care of this problem by making me a blond with white white skin (no melanin for meee~), making it almost impossibe to tan unless I want to get severe sunburns or even (worst case scenario) cancer. It's about as fun as it sounds.

Honesty, I don't see what the big deal with white skin is. I'm not saying it's unatractive, but, if I had a chance, I'd like to have skin that gets a nice bronze tan in the summer, mmmmm....

"It definitely has to do with the history of China, which is largely an agricultural society,” she added. “Getting tanned means you work outside in the fields a lot, so skin color is like an indicator of your social status. The fairer you are, the wealthier or more respected you seem."

as the article said, it is a culture status symbol.
