The 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 of info: 海南日报)
