Q: What kind of special dream did you have in your child- hood?
A: I dreamed of being king of the world.

Q: Who did you respect most in your childhood, and how about now?
A: I respect my parents most. My strong respect for them was built up by knowing that they have put much effort in keeping the family well. They are still the ones I respect most now.
Q: Can you mention one unforgettable incident in your childhood?
A: When I was aged 7, my head was accidentally hit by a table-tennis racket. I was scared to find that blood was running from the wound down to my shoulder. How- ever, I did not cry. My teacher even praised me as the bravest child she had ever seen.
Q: What is your current goal?
A: To build up my personal image and search for a suitable style of singing.
