The vanguard party

Diving Queen 吴敏霞 (Wú Mǐnxiá), with her usual perfect timing, unveils us that nothing has been left to chance in the “montage” of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China underway in 北京 (Běijīng), China. So, here she is, in the limelight of 《时尚芭莎》 (Harper’s Bazaar), hand in hand with Montblanc International GmbH, the German manufacturer of luxury pens, watches, jewellery and leather goods. That’s doesn’t mean, of course, that the President’s speech was written with her Meisterstück fountain pen, and not even that the length of the presidential speech was recorded to the very last second and clocked by means of her Meisterstück Chronograph.
