Chinese wants plastic surgery to look like Shakespeare
April 21st, 2011 - 5:25 pm ICT by IANSShanghai, April 21 (IANS) A Chinese author intends to spend over one million yuan ($153,000) on plastic surgery so that he looks like British playwright William Shakespeare.
Zhang Yiyi will undergo 10 face-lifts in 10 months to look like Shakespeare so as to “let the people across the world mourn” one of world’s greatest writers and dramatists, reported Shanghai Daily.
Zhang will have to get checkups every month after the surgery, said China National Radio.
The Chinese author has a sculpted face with a sharp nose and deep eyes and has some resemblance to Shakespeare.
Zheng Churong, a surgeon, said the surgery will be for the eyes, chin and other parts of his face.
Zhang, who will meet the surgery costs through royalties he earned for his new book, said: “Life is a process of striving to become a better person. I think the surgeries are worth the money.”
