Becoming a super model

Li Xiaoyan, 17, high school student, is already a "senior model" on the T stage. She won the runner-up in China Professional Model Contest in Shanxi division and became one of the top 10 models in the national finals. Behind the aureole, Li is just a girl with pure eyes and clear voice. In her parents' eyes, she is just their little daughter who still needs their care and protection. 

"In the fairy tale, Cinderella wearing the glass slipper became a princess. In real life, Every step forward needs sweat and tears," Li said. (CNS/Zhang Yun)
