To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to ask you whether you could help me find a child in a remote area to whom I will offer my financial aid.
The candidate should be a girl at age 10 to 12 who is deprived of the opportunity to continue her education because of poverty. Her previous score reports should prove her potential to be an outstanding student in the future.
I would like to give the girl my financial support annually until she graduates from college. The money will cover her tuition fee and other expenses at school. Besides, I will correspond with her frequently so that she can seek advice whenever she needs.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Li Ming

It goes without saying that the pictures reflect a common and serious problem in China —worship of celebrities among young people. In the left hand picture, a man has had David Beckham's name written on his face. In the right hand picture, a man who is having a haircut asks his barber to cut his hair on the model of David Beckham, the popular British soccer star.
It is not uncommon for Chinese young people to have super stars as their idols. Most of them are fans of certain basketball players, football players, singers, actors and actresses at home and abroad. These fans not only watch the matches, TV serials and movies starring their heroes, but also pay a large sum of money to gain access to a live show, a concert and so on. Moreover, they imitate their idols in almost every aspect of their lives, such as their hair styles, glasses and clothes.
There is nothing wrong for one to have his own role model. However, if people adore the pop stars to the extent of losing self-control, they misunderstand the significance of popular culture. Anyway, popular culture is to enrich our life. Young people should learn how to live their own lives instead of blindly following others' footsteps.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have long been a moral supporter of your organization, and today, I am proud to be able to make a financial contribution to Project Hope. I don't have millions of dollars to offer; however, as Chairman Mao once said, “Even a small spark can start a field ablaze”—which is to say, even though our actions are very small, we can make a big difference.
I am writing to your office in the hope that you will help me find a young girl in northwest China who shows scholastic potential, but has recently been forced to withdraw from school because her parents can't afford tuition. If she is willing to be a diligent student and work hard, I will pay for her textbooks and tuition until she finishes high school.
Many thanks,
Sincerely,
Li Ming

One of the pictures shows a very dedicated fan that, in support of the world-famous footballer, has written David Beckham's name on his face. The other picture shows a man in a barbershop, asking his hair stylist to give him the same hairstyle as David Beckham. For this service, he will pay 300 RMB.
These pictures are perfect examples of the increasingly wild and creative ways in which fans are taking ‘support' for their sports heroes to new levels. This is very popular in foreign countries, and it has become much more widespread in China over the last few years. I imagine that, in the future, there will be more and more famous Chinese athletes, and Westerners will be trying to find new ways to prove that they are true fans of Chinese stars like the basketball player Yao Ming.
While some people might think that this admiration of athletes has gone too far, I think that it is harmless as long as it does not consume a young person's life. Sometimes life can be very tough and boring, and sports can allow us to have fun every once in a while.

As can be seen from the two pictures, two football fans show their adoration for a football star: one having the name Beckham on his face, the other asking the barber to cut his hair in Beckham's style. Obviously, the famous football player's charming look and dazzling success make his fans crazy about him.
It is not uncommon that nowadays in China a lot of youngsters show their love and admiration for a certain pop star. They will try their best to collect their photos, follow them everywhere and persuade other people to support them, just like what they did during the TV contest for Super Girls in the year 2005. In spite of the fact that they have to spend enormous time and energy, let alone large sum of money, they remain firm and persistent in their pursuit. To them, life is interesting and the world is beautiful if their stars keep shinning.
As for me, I would not be enthusiastic on the surface when I show my feelings for my star. I will look up to him as a role model, from whom I can draw inspiration to strive for my own success. I will not only cheer for him when he makes GREat achievements, but also pray for him when he undergoes sufferings and setbacks, for I understand that while success is to be valued, the way to success is to be honored.
