Ms. Zhu, a Hangzhou online anchor, suffered burns during a cupping accident in a foot bath shop, resulting in second-degree burns on her neck and back. As an online streamer with nearly 40,000 followers, Ms. Zhu's image has been crucial to her career. The accident not only caused her physical pain, but also had a significant impact on her live streaming career, forcing her to cancel all filming and advertising collaborations, severely affecting her income.
Ms. Zhu claimed 50,000 yuan in compensation, including the loss of the live broadcast, mental damage, and later beauty repair costs. However, the foot bath shop was only willing to pay 5,900 yuan in compensation and suggested that the dispute be resolved through legal means.
This incident not only sheds light on potential safety risks in the beauty and healthcare industry, but also highlights the vulnerability of self-employed people in the face of professional crises. Ms. Zhu's plight has drawn public attention to the safety standards and compensation mechanisms in the service industry. At the same time, it is also a reminder to all professionals who rely on image to survive how to ensure their own safety while pursuing beauty.
Ms. Zhu's strong and defensive behavior shows her sense of self-protection as a modern woman, and also provides a warning to her peers. It is hoped that this incident can promote the standardized development of related industries and provide safer and more reliable services for consumers.
