Chris Lee on viral puffy skirt: I dressed myself!
1 Jul - Chris Lee (also known as Li Yuchun) recently showed her humorous side when she appeared for the first time on season two of "Talk Show & Friends".
The singer, who is known for her androgynous style, couldn't help but address the previous Weibo trending topic of "Who gave Chris Lee the skirt to wear?" when she appeared wearing a blue dress with a puffy skirt back in January.
She expressed, "There are many rumours about me. At 20, they said I was the daughter of a milk tycoon; at 30, they said I married an old French man; at 40, they said I was completely defeated by fate and sat in a wheelchair, with no one to inherit my property..."
"In comparison, I think the hot searches on Weibo are more friendly. They are just asking who put the skirt on Li Yuchun? I will officially respond that I wore it myself. And I'd like to share a little knowledge. A skirt is a garment worn around the waist without pant legs, it's not a secondary sex characteristic. Whether someone wears a skirt or not is no reason to end up on the trending list," she said.
She also spoke about being given the nickname of "Mr so-and-so" or "Brother so-and-so", saying that it stemmed from the fact that she is not the typical image of a woman that everybody knows.
In the same speech, Chris then expressed, "I want to be Chunchun No. 1. In this marathon of life, running alone, I will definitely keep going."

Is the Life of an Influencer Actually Worth Coveting?
WANTING, by Claire Jia Wealth — its pursuit, maintenance and display — weighs heavy in Claire Jia's 'Wanting,' although it might ultimately exert a more oppressive force on the reader than on its blithely real-estate-hungry protagonists. In this polished debut novel, the ever dependable axes of love and money, and that classic clash of romantic desire with material greed, are dramatized through the story of two friends, Ye Lian and Luo Wenyu. The women have grown up together in the prosperous environs of 1990s Beijing, watching old Hollywood movies and 'Friends' reruns that have fostered aspirational fantasies of life in America. They lost touch when Wenyu moved to California 10 years ago, and now the friends reconnect when Wenyu returns to Beijing, no longer a scrappy schoolgirl with a shoplifting habit but a popular and extremely rich YouTube personality with a pseudonym ('Vivian'), dyed blond hair and a boring white finance-guy fiancé named Thomas. Meanwhile, Lian — who herself once dreamed of moving to the United States to 'own an entire floor of a mall' and become 'a true capitalist traitor!' — has never left Beijing. Her life is perfectly respectable: She has a well-paying job working for a tutoring company 'that specialized in sending the children of wealthy Chinese executives to American universities'; and a totally unobjectionable physicist boyfriend (from a family slightly richer than hers) with whom she tours luxury condos and plays polite badminton matches every Saturday. But this existence is also stultifying: 'Everything in her life was too easy. Like rain falling into a pond. She was too scared to really reach for anything, so she settled for what she received.' Wenyu's return explodes this stasis. When Lian discovers that her friend is involved in an extracurricular romance, her shock morphs into jealousy. The Ferrante-like dynamic is a familiar one: Wenyu — ambitious, headstrong, selfish, alluring and possibly bound for ruin — is a sort of Lila to Lian's more cautious, studious, good-girl Lenu. But Lian's biggest throb of envy is not for Wenyu's love affair so much as her influencer status. Jia takes an oddly credulous attitude toward this financially rewarding, spiritually nullifying way of being. As Lian obediently trails her friend through their old haunts in Xidan shopping center to help provide Wenyu with 'Chinese content,' the reader is left wondering whether a life spent posting brands and monetizing one's selfhood could really be worth coveting.

Seeking the Giant Panda, and Daddy's Love
THE BEAST IN THE CLOUDS: The Roosevelt Brothers' Deadly Quest to Find the Mythical Giant Panda, by Nathalia Holt In 1869, a French missionary dispatched from Chengdu to Paris the pelt of an animal that had never been seen in Europe: a bear with black and white fur, which scientists would call a panda, apparently derived from the Nepalese term meaning 'bamboo eater.' Over the next six decades, expeditions to find the elusive mammal failed to bring one back — either dead or alive. That set the stage for President Theodore Roosevelt's two eldest sons, Kermit and Ted, who in 1929 obtained the backing of Chicago's Field Museum and set off for Asia in search of immortality. 'The Beast in the Clouds' is Nathalia Holt's immersive, sometimes harrowing account of the siblings' Himalayan adventure. In her prior books, Holt has excelled at telling tales of high-achieving women in male-dominated institutions. Her focus this time is on an equally engrossing dynamic, that of emotionally damaged sons drawn into an all-consuming competition with their alpha-male father. As Holt tells it, the brothers' ambitions were fueled by a deep sense of inadequacy. Kermit and Ted had a loving but difficult relationship with their larger-than-life father. Theodore Roosevelt played boisterous games with his children and wrote them long, affectionate letters from his travels. But he had no tolerance for fecklessness and failure, once ridiculing Kermit as 'a weakling.' His shadow 'influenced their every action and demeanor toward others,' Holt writes. As the assistant secretary of the Navy during the Harding administration, Ted became implicated in the Teapot Dome bribery scandal, detonating his political aspirations. Kermit failed at business, drank heavily and was serially unfaithful to his wife. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

📸 Just like his dad! Keeper pulls off monster save at the Club World Cup
📸 Just like his dad! Keeper pulls off monster save at the Club World Cup Al-Hilal surprisingly defeated Manchester City at the Club World Cup and is now in the quarter-finals of the tournament. The Saudi club especially owes thanks to their keeper Yassine Bounou, better known as Bono. Against City's Savinho, he pulled off a monster save. We can only wonder how long a human arm can get when looking at the following images. 📸 MOHAMED TAGELDIN 📸 MOHAMED TAGELDIN 📸 MOHAMED TAGELDIN It's not the first time at the Club World Cup that Bono has saved his team. He also stopped a penalty from Valverde against Real Madrid. In the Salzburg match, the 34-year-old was named player of the match after strong saves. Advertisement Even Pep Guardiola had to acknowledge after the game that his players couldn't get past Bono. "The chances were minimal. We created a lot, and (Yassine) Bounou was incredible," said City's coach after the final whistle. Now, Inter-conqueror Fluminense awaits Al-Hilal and Bono. Let's see if he will have to extend his long arms again. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
