一位顶级美妆高管之死：夺走他生命的，是一针“变美”的针

Today,

we'll tell

a rather sad story.

It's about 'getting beautiful'.

There was a man,

fifty-six this year.

He worked at a

very famous

beauty company.

That's where he worked.

What is a beauty company?

A company that makes cosmetics.

For example,

face cream,

and perfume.

This company

is very big,

very famous.

Many things you've used

might

be theirs.

This man,

at this company,

worked for twenty-five years.

He was a

senior leader.

You could say

he was, in the world,

one of the people who understood 'beauty' best.

One of them.

His job

was to help everyone

become more beautiful.

But

this very year,

he suddenly

passed away.

At that time,

no one knew

why

he had gone.

Not until this week

was the reason

finally made public.

And this reason

left many people

stunned.

It turned out

he died

because of an injection

he had gotten.

What injection?

It was a kind of

injection that makes you beautiful.

We usually

call it a 'beauty injection'.

This injection,

given in the face,

can

remove some wrinkles,

making a person

look younger.

These days,

many people

get them.

It sounds

like

a very ordinary,

very safe little thing.

But

just as he was being injected,

the

material injected

accidentally

slipped into

one of his blood vessels.

Then,

following the blood,

it traveled all the way,

and reached

his lungs.

And just like that,

it blocked

his lungs.

He soon

felt

he couldn't breathe.

Before long,

he was gone.

When he left,

his loved one

was right beside him.

Hearing this,

you might be a little scared.

But

let me be clear:

getting this injection,

the vast majority of the time,

is safe.

In the United States,

every year

there are over five million

such injections.

Those that go wrong

are truly very few.

A case like his

is a very rare

accident.

But

this case

also reminds us:

even the smallest procedure,

the smallest injection,

is not

one hundred percent

without risk.

So,

if you too want

to get such an injection,

be sure

to go to a proper place,

and find a professional doctor.

Finally,

I want to ask you a question:

to become beautiful,

we're willing

to give up a lot.

But

between 'getting beautiful'

and 'staying safe',

the line in your heart —

where

would you draw it?
