BANGKOK: According to local reports in Southeast Asia, the woman became a porn actress in order to pay for medical school. Women in the region are angered that local newspapers in the region have revealed the young 23-year-old's identity, arguing that it was an attempt to shame her publicly. “I just find it wrong on many levels because if the woman wanted people to know who she was she would have come forward and talked about it,” said a female activist in Thailand. Monica Tesvanatri told Bikyamasr.com that young women are struggling in the region, “and if they want to do porn films that is their choice, but if they don't want the whole world to know who they are, that needs to be respected.” The young woman was revealed to be a Chinese medical student from Shanghai. The bosomy student, Wang Li Danni, had featured in a Hong Kong 3D youth sex comedy “All the way West.” Touted as “Mainland's Amy Yip”, the actress shocked everyone when she revealed she was doing pornographic movies not for fame but to become a doctor. Shin Min Daily News reported that Wang's goal is to accumulate 400,000 yuan (S$80,000) by the time she graduates next October. The money will be used towards getting her medical licence and opening a clinic. The former lingerie model also said she will stop filming such movies in Hong Kong if her studies are affected. “She said her ultimate goal is to be a doctor but expressed concern that her filming such movies could affect her future medical career,” the newspaper reported. It has left many in China and across Asia angry over the revelation. “Sure many people were speculating, but it is not fair or right that the woman was pointed out publicly because that shows that media are simply trying to reveal a woman for having sex and making a living. It's not right,” said another Chinese woman based in Bangkok. “If she didn't want her identity revealed, she should take legal action.”
