Subway
passengers ignoring fainted foreigner (Chinadaily Wang
Fan)
Reports of a foreigner who fainted in a
subway car in Shanghai being ignored by station workers have been refuted,
xinmin.cn reported on Wednesday.
Earlier media reports showed a foreigner
who fainted in a subway car in Shanghai being unattended on Aug 9. According to
surveillance video from the carriage, the male expat fainted on a seat at about
9:34 pm and fell down to the floor as the train entered the station.
Five passengers sitting near the foreigner
got up and left; within five seconds, the car was empty except for the
foreigner.
The surveillance video also showed
passengers in neighboring cars of the train disembarking from the train within
10 seconds after someone shouted, "Accident occurred!"
Initial reports say the passengers ignored
the fainted foreigner and ran away. However, the subway operator said their
workers received notice from the passengers and rushed to offer help to the
fainted man. When they went to the car where the foreigner had fainted, he had
woken and stood up.
The subway operator revealed the incident
on Tuesday and urged passengers keep calm when something unexpected happens
during their journey.

More youth undergoing cosmetic surgery over summer
By Rachel Chan / CNA
A young woman receives cosmetic surgery in Taipei yesterday. More students have been using summer vacation to go under the knife in pursuit of beauty, clinics say.
Instead of spending money on buxibans or traveling, many students are using the summer break to get beauty treatments and plastic surgery.
Cosmetology and plastic surgery clinics are reporting an increase in the number of student clients since the summer break began.
The Plastic Surgical Association of the Republic of China and the Taiwan Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, two professional associations that represent certified aesthetic doctors and plastic surgeons respectively, said it was impossible to get an accurate estimate of how big the market is and how much it grows each year, mainly because such treatments are not covered by the National Health Insurance.
Individual beauty clinics, however, are reporting year-on-year increases in the number of youths undergoing cosmetic procedures, with the figure doubling last month over previous months.
“Business in cosmetic procedures has surged in July and August because of the increasing number of student customers — whether they are from Taiwan or abroad,” said Tseng Chung-ren (曾忠仁), a dermatologist who owns a medical cosmetic center and clinic in Taipei.
Tseng said students normally constituted 20 percent of his clientele, but that the figure had jumped to 40 percent over the summer, while another 20 percent to 30 percent are students from abroad and the remaining customers are mostly Taiwanese women aged 25 to 45.
Chao Tzi-kang (趙子康), the director of a beauty clinic in Taipei’s Ximending district (西門町), a shopping district popular with students, also reported the trend.
Chao said student customers generally increase every summer during the break, as it provides enough time for students or new graduates to recover from the procedures before entering a new school or starting a job.
Tseng and Chao claimed people were increasingly concerned with their physical appearance because of the increasingly competitive job market.
The economic downturn is prompting people to acquire what they consider more advantageous features and get rid of what they may feel are blemishes or imperfections, to improve their chances of getting hired.
“Patients come to have cosmetic treatment for a better look and to boost their confidence. The patients are getting younger and younger,” Tseng said.

What do you think about cosmetic surgery?
Is cosmetic surgery good or bad?

Is it possible addict to plastic surgery?
