Most Common Stationaries for Chinese
Students
Nine-year
old Momo is a grade 4 student, but
already a veteran mobile phone user.
During the summer vocation the primary
way of communication between he and his
mom is by sending text message to each
other. For a kid in Beijing,
it is reported, "Text me" is
the latest fashion of saying goodbye to
his buddy.
For
high school students in large cities,
says China’s state media, their basic
stationaries include mobile phone,
digital dictionary and even MP4. As for
the college students, laptop is almost a
must, with some having more advanced
tools like PSP.
According
to some big computer retailers in
Beijing, each year in August, one in
every three computers are purchased by
student, half of which priced at 5000 to
8000 yuan.
On
the other hand, in some remote rural
areas, such as mountainous
villages in Guizhou
province, some parents can
barely afford textbooks and have to rely
on the government provision.
A
Happy Marriage between …
Ms
Cao is a 70-old Chinese lady living in
Guangxi Province. In the beginning she
was a blissful little girl, then she
became a blissful housewife. Though the
couple do not have children of their own,
they have two adopted sons and the man
and the wife were happy with each other
in pretty much every aspects of their
marriage.
That
was until very recently. Which doesn’t
mean the man and the woman suddenly
become unhappy with their marriage, just,
it is actually not a marriage between a
man and a woman.
When
Ms Cao took an abdominal operation,
doctors discerned some cells alien to a
woman’s body. Upon a DNA examination,
they found it carrying both an X and a Y
chromosome. That concludes that Ms Cao is
not a woman but a man. (Source
