friends all said the government should be encouraging a positive, helpful girl like me.” However, media regulation policies are still being newly developed in China, and as a result, Furong-related Internet activity is sometimes permitted because of ambiguity in media regulation. Future Beijing-based film production company Zongbo Media hired her to star in a series of short films shot on digital video that would be broadcast only online, Zongbo chairman Chen Weiming told Reuters. She quit her job at a publishing house, has auditioned for a soap opera, and says "I am preparing for a career as an anchorwoman." Sister Furong recently began writing a book in which she encourages young Chinese to follow her lead and persist despite obstacles. However, there are rumors that her publisher has pulled out of the book deal. On December 29, 2007, she posted on her blog a marriage proposal from the recently divorced French president Nicolas Sarkozy. Many believed that this is simply a hoax, and the timing of the so-called proposal suggests a rivalry between Furong and another Chinese celebrity Yang Erche Namu, given that Yang proposed to Sarkozy just a few days earlier. In July 2008, she held her first live concert in Beijing. Quotes by Sister Furong "My friends all said the government should be encouraging a positive, helpful girl like me." "To men, I am the sweetest flower. They love to drink my nectar." "I have a pair of beautiful hands which go harmoniously with my outstandingly slim body." "My skin is as smooth as a that of baby." "All of these talents have helped me to become a good dancer. I understand life in my dance; I am looking for my lover in my dance." "I'm pure and noble (this is how my classmates describe me, which isn't my fault)." "My life is now so annoying. All the time I am the focus on the street. Why do the eyes of men fall hot upon me? I have no place to hide." "My sexy appearance and ice-and-jade pure quality bring me a lot of attention wherever I go. I'm always the centre of everything. People never tire of looking at my face, and my physique gives men nose-bleeds." See also Muzi Mei Sister Feng William Hung Honglaowai Papi Jiang References Further reading I.D.
