TIANJIN, June 25 (Xinhua) -- The 2025 Tianjin Fashion Week has just concluded. This time, Xinhua correspondent Smiley transformed from a complete amateur into a runway model in just three hours. The backstage journey was filled with dramatic moments — the awkwardness of stumbles during catwalk training, the nervous repetition of key points while waiting backstage.
Three hours of sweat and perseverance culminated in dozens of breathtaking seconds on the runway, clearly demonstrating that confidence is the ultimate beauty.
