Hilarious Childhood Photos Some Chinese Want to Forget!

Many Chinese people who were born between the 1970s and 1990s remember (or chose to forget) taking photos with makeup like below at some point in their childhood:

Personally, I was three years old when my parents forced me to take a series of photos just like the one shown above.   

Hearing of this news, Chinese netizens turned over to their (and others') childhood photos again, and sure enough, they were eye-catching and very… Chinese! Hahaha!

What they shared is… hilarious.

Why did parents want their children to look like this?

They made them dress up like the characters in Journey to the West!

Look at this child’s eyes… You can feel his despair.

Haha, this boy dressed up like a rich girl.

SO MUCH ELEGANCE!

Don’t forget to put on your fake smile! :)

Boys may also want to try mom's high heels! 

Does it remind you of something you’d rather not want to look at ever again? 

Got any embarrassing childhood photos to share?

What country’s style of photos would your parents have you take as a child?
