The first time I know her is tv series for children.

Have you heard of this actress? Yea, I know of her. The first time I saw her was in a children’s tv series.

Original

Yesterday I started a new TV series which introduced the life in Shanghai of five girls with totally different characters. After two hours i have had a brief impression of each girl and found them very close to the reality. Among the girls’ actors, I believe i have seen the youngest before but i couldn’t recognize who she is immediately. So i surfed for the Internet and realized she came from a children’s TV series. However, after several years, she has become so different especially the pointed chin part, making her cuter but totally different

Lily’s writing

This morning I saw a new movie called Joy. It came out last Christmas and was inspired by a real story from a particular woman named Joy. I remember she said, “Because a lot of times people get nice things that they start to think differently. We got here from hard work, patience and humility so I want to tell you, don’t ever think that the world owes you anything, because it doesn’t. The world doesn’t owe you a thing.”

Joy overcame a lot of difficulties and made a successful life but she found that she was betrayed by her father and his new girlfriend. What’s worse, she had to claim that her company was bankrupt. But, in the end she had great courage to find the fraudulent businessman and asked for her money back plus interest. She turned the whole situation around.
