Cathryn Li (李元玲) is known for several things. Her piano skills, her ballet skills and of course, her good looks. None of these things came easy, she’s worked hard for all of them.
It’s no secret that the Malaysian influencer works hard to keep her body in shape. Her Instagram is full of gym and workout photos amidst her posing pretty for the camera. However, recently netizens questioned if Cathryn’s photos are for real!
Yesterday (25th November), Cathryn shared that she’s been receiving scathing comments from people about her photos. “Many (resentful) people think that my (pretty girl) photo is too (much). In fact, they just don’t want to believe that this is the real me,” the influencer said.
Cathryn made it clear that what you see is what you get. “Relying on hard work to train yourself into a role that wants (to be pretty), there is satisfaction,” she wrote. The influencer also included her photos and a video of her latest workout. In them, she shows off her abs, muscles and lithe body.
If that wasn’t enough to show up her naysayers, Cathryn’s parting words surely left a sting. “Sour people can continue to be sour,” she said, “Because they have never worked hard for themselves and can only rely on (being resentful) of others to elevate themselves.”
That is one brutal callout from the influencer. However, most fans are used to it by now as Cathryn faces a lot of criticism from netizens and media alike. For instance, she once called out a publication for sexualising her ballet outfit.
Cathryn certainly knows what she wants, and isn’t afraid to work hard for it. Her dedication to keeping her body fit is surely an inspiration to her followers.
