| It"s an amazing change when a caterpillar (毛毛虫) turns into a butterfly. That just might explain Taiwan singer Jolin Tsai"s choice of name for her latest album (唱片／专辑). On March 27, Tsai will release Flower Butterfly, her first album for Warner, the company she signed to recently. The 28-year-old Tsai is known for the challenges she takes on. This time it is ballet. For the video that goes with the album, she had to pirouette (用脚尖旋转) 20 times without stopping. It was hard going. When she started training she couldn"t even manage to spin (旋转) three times. "It took me longer to learn the move than anything I"ve ever tried!"she said. If the ballet was hard, the photo for the album art may have been harder. Tsai had to hang upside down from a wire for an hour. It was so that her shadow (影子) would seem like a butterfly spreading its wings. But Tsai is facing another challenge. Her old record company (唱片公司), EMI will release an album of music Tsai recorded when she was with the label. This means that Flower Butterfly will be fighting it out in the market with old Jolin music. But Tsai didn"t seem to care about the problems with her old company: "I"ve trained myself to be strong. I hope that other girls will follow my example and be themselves. Don"t be afraid of what other people say. One day you"ll turn into a beautiful butterfly." | ||||||||||

| Miyazaki Umi lives in Odawara, Japan. The 15-year-old girl has learned a lot about China from her father and her school. She likes Chinese culture very much. She has a dream. She hopes one day she can work in China. Different to Umi, Miyata Natsuiyuki"s knowledge of China all comes from a book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The novel is well known in Japan. In this 15-year-old boy"s mind, Chinese people are like the heroes in the book - they work hard for their dreams. Last week, the two finally got a chance to see China. 2008 is the China-Japan Friendly Exchange Year. Invited by the Suzhou People"s Association for Friendship, organized by Japan"s Children and Life Culture Association, Umi and Natsuiyuki, together with another 63 Japanese people, made a trip to China. They first went to Shanghai. Then, in Suzhou, they saw Kunqu Opera at the Suzhou Art School. Umi and Natsuiyuki said they have found out something new about the country. In Shanghai, the high buildings amazed Umi. "It seems as if all the tall buildings in Japan are here in Shanghai," she said. Natsuiyuki saw bicycles everywhere in Chinese cities."You don"t see that in Japan. I think it"s good for the environment to ride bikes." Both the boy and the girl think that people in China are very kind and warm-hearted. "Though we only speak broken Chinese and English, they always answered my questions patiently," said Umi. "If you have any difficulties, they come and help you at once," said Natsuiyuki." Even though you cannot speak the language, you forget you are in a foreign country." | ||||||||||
