Many Chinese girls love “small, fresh meat”, which refers to young, effeminate (柔弱的) male stars. However, it turns out that not everyone is a fan of them. Some parents worry about the bad effect (影响)on their children from the stars. The popularity of effeminate male stars is partly influenced of Japanese and South Korean pop culture, an expert said, in fact, being effeminate was popular among Chinese men during the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern dynasties, especially among aristocrats (贵族)and scholars. It’s only a central issue ( 观点） temporarily (暂时的) and will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine (阴柔的）beauty, this doesn’t mean that he lacks responsibility. A man’s strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities (内涵) – not their physical appearance.
