His name is Vincent Lau (刘梓晨), he is 18 years old, and has over 261.000 followers on Weibo [edit: fanbase is growing quickly and went up to 263.500 within fifteen minutes]. Vincent, who claims to be a model in Beijing, has become famous on Sina Weibo by constantly showing off his wealth, naked photos, selfies, and before-after plastic surgery photos.
Vincent Lau posted some selfies after doing some ‘minor surgery’ and ‘face injections’.
Vincent Lau maintains he only did a little bit of plastic surgery on his chin, although its sharp “V” shape suggests the operation was actually quite drastic. Other parts of his body are supposedly all natural. Weibo users jokingly say that if Vincent Lau’s appearance is what ‘natural’ is, then no one in this world actually is natural.
Lau has become a controversial Weibo netizen, not only because he prides himself in being a ‘weirdo’, but also because he says the netizens who criticise him are low and inferior people.
Although netizens keep writing offensive comments, Lau says he is not angry about it. Instead, he is happy to be at the focus of attention.
Lau especially prides himself in being skinny: “If you were as skinny as I am,” he says: “you would feel like the world is at your feet.”
Lau recently posted a before and after of his identity card on his Weibo account. “I haven’t done any major operations,” he says: “I have lost weight so my chin has become more pointed- it is also because I use synergy face masks (瘦脸面膜)”. The face masks (as featured in the image below) are said to make face features more pronounced.

“Gross, disgusting, cheap, shameless, ugly, ghost, scary, make me throw up…” These are the general opinions extracted from the comment box of Vincent’s Weibo personal account. Weibo user Miss Yuen is fed up with his extravagant high profile: “I want him to disappear from Weibo,” she says.
But if it is up to Vincent, he will be on Weibo for a long time to come: “You are all just jealous of how good I look.”
