On the first day of classes at a Los Angeles high school, several American boys came up to a Chinese boy and said: “Hi, what’s up?”   48    hearing their greeting, the boy,   49     had just moved to the US with his parents, raised his head and looked at the sky.

This is a story told by David Chen,  50  31-year-old actor in Taiwan who recently launched a Sina mini-blog, on which he teaches easy English expressions.

“   51   me, the mini-blog is like a mirror．When I read the comments, I see myself more clearly.”

Chen made a breakthrough last year    52   he had a double-eyelid surgery．“I like making changes and I think it’s necessary,” he said．“I know many fans like my pretty boy image．But now I’m growing up, I want to look rougher and  53  mature.”

“When you have a new haircut, you do not need to explain it．__54___ is just like changing your mood to do so–if you feel happy, that’s great,” said Chen．“Young people should realize    

that sometimes you can just do what you want to do．You will eventually get support from others if you dare to be   55   .”
