LifestyleThe StarChinese rubbish station worker scouted for striking looks refuses full-time modelling
A 20-year-old Chinese rubbish collector has gone viral for her striking looks and is now walking runways, but she's keeping her day job.
Leng believes that while collecting rubbish puts food on the table, modelling is a dream, and the two paths do not conflict.
Leng Minghui, who sorts rubbish in Taizhou, China, went viral after videos of her at work showed off her striking model-like features.
She stands 1.81 metres tall and has already walked at the SS26 Fashion Source in Shenzhen, collaborating with brands including car maker CHERY.
Despite being scouted by top Chinese model Lu Xianren and offered agency deals, she has turned them down and kept her rubbish collection work.
