China's 'hot mum' photo contest: Can you tell the parent from the child?

As if motherhood wasn't stressful enough, a competition has been launched in China to find the 'hottest mum.'
Dozens of photos of potential winners were sent into Weibo after the search started.
But some of the mothers look so similar to their daughters it is difficult to tell them apart and instead they look like sisters.

This is partly due to the heavy filters put on the photos which blurs out any features associated with aging, but also due to the age of some of the mothers.
Some of the mothers are seen in 'natural shots' posing with their daughters as they walk along the street or dine out in a cafe.
But some of them are more contrived and look as they though have been taken in a professional studio.
It is not clear what the prize is yet or whether the title of 'hottest mum' is enough for potential winners.

When I was in my late teens, people often would ask us if my mother was my sister. She was 24 when she had me. It's quite common for Asians and it's just how gracefully many Asian women age. This article is implicitly critical and ignorant of this fact.

many Asians know how to care their skins and know what the best make up products are for them.

Really , wow , how many SKINS do they have? Do they change them often?
I guess the ones i saw at munmuns that said they were 20 and look 60 , only had one skin.

Creamy white skin is so desired over in Asia, I have not seen a tanning booth ever there. The clear white skin you see all those Korean Pop stars have is want they all want.

Asian women, and men, just look so much younger than their Euro counterparts. And the women seem to be able to maintain that youthful look well into their 50s. Then, over a year or so, you wonder WTF happened. Just a few months ago she looked hot, not she looks ancient.

I think that is what happens to the Aunties at MunMuns and other places. They arrive when they are 45 or 50, advertise at 20 because old roundeye cant tell the difference, then that mystery year comes and WHAM, they look 80, and don't change the ad. hahahahaa
