Pains and gains of running into celebrity figures

I have seen some famous people. But as a self-respecting young woman, I never let celebrity presence overwhelm me. At the Shin Kong Place, a big shopping mall in Beijing, I've run into a dozen pop stars - of varying degrees of glamour. While I walk by them with head held high, I can't help sigh later that singer Faye Wong's legs are twice the length of mine; or film star Zhang Jingchu's face is half the size of mine.

However, if my role models appear before me, I do show them the utmost respect, although aphasia often seizes me, leaving me with only the ability to stammer badly.

Back in university, I was shopping at the Carrefour with a classmate when we spotted Su Tong, a famous writer. My classmate was excited and suggested we should approach the writer and discuss his latest novel with him.
