There is plenty of recent public debate about one of the hottest TV dramas, The Empress of China. The show’s heroine, legendary beauty Wu Zetian, captured many viewers’ attention, including those at a flight attendant school in Chengdu.

Chengdu is known for its abundance of beautiful women, not to mention the college of aeronautics, which is full of women who are training to be air hostesses. Some of the student flight attendants put their professional training to use in an historical context at school on Jan 15, 2015. They dressed up as the Empress Wu Zetian and Tang Dynasty concubines to serve passengers during a practice session.
