A 57-year-old man wants to give mostly younger competitors a run for their money. He joined a competition in Tianjin municipality in which the winner will get free plastic surgery.

Zhang Wenqing, a retired driver, enrolled in face-off with many nervous young men born during the 1990s. The event was sponsored by a plastic surgery clinic in the municipality.

He said he has no intention of pursuing a career in the performance industry but was unhappy with his appearance.

He entered the contest without his family's knowledge.
