"Eight of every 10 models in China has gotten into the field by winning a competition. They are selected from among thousands, so their looks-their face, body, carriage-are beyond reproach," says Lam. He notes that in Taiwan, female models need only be 172 cm tall to work, but in the mainland the standard is 178-180 cm.
「這裡的模特兒十個裡有八個是以得獎者的姿態入行，都是萬中選一，身高、體態、臉蛋等外在條件自然不在話下，」林尚樺表示，在台灣，女模只要身高一七二公分就可以上台，大陸地區符合國際標準一七八到一八○公分的模特兒卻比比皆是。
