亲爱的同学们：聪明的人，今天做明天的事；懒惰的人，今天做昨天的事；糊涂的人，把昨天的事也推给明天。愿你做一个聪明的孩子！愿你做一个时间的主人！From hero to heroineWearing a red, off-the-shoulder evening gown, Liu Ting made her first public appearance as a woman last Thursday in Guangzhou, after a series of sex reassignment surgeries since last year.A trans woman born in 1986, Liu found herself under the spotlight in 2005 while she was still living as a man. She moved her mother, who was suffering from uremia and needed close attention, to her college dormitory. The hardship Liu endured made her a media favorite, and the young man was soon promoted as a model of filial piety by the media in her hometown in Zhejiang Province.But Liu had been aware since childhood that she was a woman. In 2013, she received an official diagnosis as a transgender woman, necessary in China before gender reassignment surgery. Her fame attracted a Guangzhou hospital to offer her surgery for free, but she had to transition under the microscope of public scrutiny.On October 9, 2014, Liu undertook her first facial feminization surgery, which went on for five hours. The pain was greater than I had imagined. It was hard to breathe, she told the media at the time. In the next couple of months, Liu underwent a series of surgeries including genital reconstruction and breast augmentation, with her mother accompanying her all the time.Lius parents had mixed feelings about her decision. When the family signed a consent form at a notarys office before the surgeries, the media spotted her father, standing in the corner with his hands behind his back. If you have really thought it through, I will sign. But never regret about your decision, he told her. After Liu finished the surgery, her mother had an emotional breakdown and almost fainted as she cried in the lavatory, feeling she had lost her son. But Liu is happy. She will publish an autobiography in June. Talking about her future, Liu said she hopes to become an actress. Its another dream of mine in addition to living as a woman. I know its nave to think so, but Ill adhere to my dreams.Fighting！Editor Anita LiuApril 15,2015 最“中国”的行为当下十大网络热词的英文表达1. 约吗?Wanna date me?2. 也是醉了。I am speechless.其实原句就是表示“无语了”3. 给跪了Give me a break!（美国俚语，表示：得了吧，行啦，别介）4. 那么，问题来了。(挖掘技术哪家强?中国山东找蓝翔!)Heres the question。5. 有钱就是这么任性!Rich bitch。（好友间可以用bitch(作人、贱人)相互调侃。注意：仅限于好友间!）6. 我读书少，表骗我Dont take advantage of my illiteracy。（take advantage of：利用长得丑不是你的错，长得丑还不多读点书，就是罪过了）7. 整个人都不好了I have goose flesh。（goose flesh：鸡皮疙瘩）8. 也是蛮拼的。Give it ones best shot。（为美国俚语，竭尽某人全力之意。）9. 这画面太美我不敢看I cant afford to take a look at it。（afford：可以承受）10. 安静地做个美男子I just wanna be a lady-killer quietly。（lady-killer：万人迷、美男子、师奶杀手）国外版知乎Quora上有人问：哪些是中国人最“中国”的行为？一起来看看吧。 Drink warm boiled water Live to be 95, look like youre 50, and stand around in parks all morning clapping your hands.
