Chinese rubbish station worker scouted for striking looks refuses full-time modelling

A young woman named Chaoren Leng, better known as "Superman Leng," has captured the attention of the internet and fashion industry after her modelling abilities were discovered by Lu Xianren, a renowned model from China. Leng, 20 years old, is originally from Fuyang, Anhui province, and works as a rubbish collection station worker in Taizhou, Zhejiang province, alongside her boyfriend's father.

Her talents and striking appearance have earned her a following online, with her tall, slim figure and small, chiselled face drawing admiration from netizens. Lu, 27, a top male model, was inspired by Leng's potential and has assisted her in finding modelling opportunities. Leng made her runway debut in November last year, showcasing an orange outfit inspired by the popular snack latiao.

Brands such as CHERY and Zhu Bingren Copper have collaborated with her. Despite receiving offers from several modelling agencies, Leng chose to remain with her boyfriend's family and continue working at the rubbish collection station, reflecting her gratitude for their support in pursuing her education. Her videos depict her strong bond with her boyfriend's family, with whom she lives and works.

Leng emphasizes that she is dedicated to perfecting her modelling skills, balancing her work at the rubbish station with her aspiration to become a runway model.
