She moved her mother, who was suffering from uremia and needed close attention, to her college dormitory. The hardship Liu endured made her a media favorite, and the young man was soon promoted as a model of filial piety by the media in her hometown in Zhejiang Province.But Liu had been aware since childhood that she was a woman. In 2013, she received an official diagnosis as a transgender woman, necessary in China before gender reassignment surgery. Her fame attracted a Guangzhou hospital to offer her surgery for free, but she had to transition under the microscope of public scrutiny.On October 9, 2014, Liu undertook her first facial feminization surgery, which went on for five hours. The pain was greater than I had imagined. It was hard to breathe, she told the media at the time. In the next couple of months, Liu underwent a series of surgeries including genital reconstruction and breast augmentation, with her mother accompanying her all the time.Lius parents had mixed feelings about her decision. When the family signed a consent form at a notarys office before the surgeries, the media spotted her father, standing in the corner with his hands behind his back. If you have really thought it through, I will sign. But never regret about your decision, he told her. After Liu finished the surgery, her mother had an emotional breakdown and almost fainted as she cried in the lavatory, feeling she had lost her son. But Liu is happy. She will publish an autobiography in June. Talking about her future, Liu said she hopes to become an actress. Its another dream of mine in addition to living as a woman. I know its nave to think so, but Ill adhere to my dreams.Fighting！Editor Anita LiuApril 15,2015 最“中國”的行為當下十大網絡熱詞的英文表達1. 約嗎?Wanna date me?2. 也是醉了。I am speechless.其實原句就是表示“無語了”3. 給跪了Give me a break!（美國俚語，表示：得了吧，行啦，別介）4. 那么，問題來了。(挖掘技術哪家強?中國山東找藍翔!)Heres the question。5. 有錢就是這么任性!Rich bitch。（好友間可以用bitch(作人、賤人)相互調侃。注意：僅限于好友間!）6. 我讀書少，表騙我Dont take advantage of my illiteracy。（take advantage of：利用長得丑不是你的錯，長得丑還不多讀點書，就是罪過了）7. 整個人都不好了I have goose flesh。（goose flesh：雞皮疙瘩）8. 也是蠻拼的。Give it ones best shot。（為美國俚語，竭盡某人全力之意。）9. 這畫面太美我不敢看I cant afford to take a look at it。（afford：可以承受）10. 安靜地做個美男子I just wanna be a lady-killer quietly。（lady-killer：萬人迷、美男子、師奶殺手）國外版知乎Quora上有人問：哪些是中國人最“中國”的行為？一起來看看吧。 Drink warm boiled water Live to be 95, look like youre 50, and stand around in parks all morning clapping your hands.
