What It Is and What It Isn’t

After all, life is not a virtual reality television show, so here is 吴敏霞 (Wú Mǐnxiá)’s true birthday day, broadcasted on her own through her 新浪微博 (Wēibó) account. Her message reads, “Another birthday! 2016 is not yet over, but for me it has already been a heavenly year! I am really happy that my fan club members sent me so many good wishes and gifts! A 31-year-old is not too young, so I thank with all my heart all those who accompanied me through the four years before the Olympics: officials, coaches, relatives, friends! What will happen? When will it happen? Please stay tuned! I’m still here and will proceed on a step-by-step. So I am!”. Our very free translation is intentional. All photos: weibo.com/wuminxia.
