was also exposed to the face of science and technology", the different attitudes of Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming's girlfriends, the difference is clear at a glance
Technology and beauty, a game of choice
With the spread of appearance anxiety in contemporary society and the vigorous development of the medical aesthetic industry, the term "technological face" came into being, carrying complex emotions such as curiosity, envy, and criticism. Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend Ye Ke and ex-wife Yang Ying, two public figures, were pushed to the forefront of public opinion because of the label of "technological face", and their completely different attitudes have sparked extensive discussions, and also reflect the differences in contemporary women's multiple choices and self-perception on the road of pursuing beauty.
Ye Ke's frank admit, is it self-confidence or helplessness? She graciously admitted 40% of the "fine-tuning" in an attempt to downplay the public's doubts about her plastic surgery. In the live broadcast, she cleverly distinguishes the concepts of "technology" from "fine-tuning", trying to find a balance between admission and denial. Behind this seemingly candid attitude may be a reluctant acceptance of the "technological face" label and a defense of personal choice. In her quest for beauty, she chose to cater to mainstream aesthetics in order to gain more recognition.
Yang Ying firmly denied plastic surgery, attributing her beauty to "God's endow". She took photos of her childhood and did medical evaluations to prove her natural beauty. This almost stubborn denial may stem from the rejection of the "technological face" label and the maintenance of its own image. She chose to stick to the position of "natural beauty" and tried to draw a line with "technology".
Behind the different choices of the two women is the discipline and guidance of social culture on women's aesthetics. On the one hand, the mass media has created a "perfect" image of women, and high nose bridges, big eyes, and small V faces have become the standard of beauty, which has invisibly exacerbated women's appearance anxiety; On the other hand, the stigma of the "technological face" in society has put women who choose medical aesthetics under huge pressure from public opinion.
The choice of Ye Ke and Yang Ying also reflects the differences in self-perception and expression of women of different generations. As a new generation of Internet celebrities, Ye Ke is more inclined to embrace technology, calmly accept and even take the initiative to show the changes brought about by "technology"; As a star who has been famous for a long time, Yang Ying pays more attention to maintaining her existing public image and tends to maintain a "sense of mystery".
This discussion of the "technological face" goes far beyond personal choices, it touches on a deeper social issue: how do we define beauty? In the pursuit of beauty, how should individual freedom be balanced with social discipline? Should technological advances be used to change appearances? These are questions worth pondering.
In the era of information explosion, we need to maintain the ability to think independently and not be coerced by a single aesthetic standard. Beauty is diverse, and everyone has the right to choose beauty, whether natural or technological, it should be respected. More importantly, we should focus on the intrinsic value of women, rather than just judging their appearance. True beauty comes from self-confidence, independence and self-acceptance.
The story of Ye Ke and Yang Ying is just a microcosm of this discussion. With the continuous development of science and technology, the discussion about "technology" and "beauty" will continue. We look forward to a more inclusive and pluralistic society where everyone can confidently express their beauty, no matter where it comes from.

From a broader perspective, this discussion on the "face of technology" also reflects the challenges brought by the development of science and technology to social ethics. Advances in gene editing, artificial intelligence and other technologies have made human beings more and more capable of transforming themselves. How to find a balance between scientific and technological progress and ethics is an important issue before us.

Returning to the relationship between Huang Xiaoming and the two women, we should not over-interpret it, let alone objectify women and become a tool for comparison between men. Every woman is an individual with her own values and choices. We should respect their choices and focus on their achievements in their respective fields.

The discussion of "science and technology face" should not only stop at the judgment of individual choices, but also trigger our thinking about deeper issues such as social culture and science and technology ethics. Only in this way can we find a healthier and more sustainable direction on the road of pursuing beauty.
