I think the way people define beauty is getting more multifaceted these days. First, there are more and more girls joining body exercises. Being toned is the new trend and new beauty. Sun-kissed skin and muscular body is the new fashion. Pilates and trekking is receiving more and more lovers. Having a trekking on weekend in mountains has been the most popular activity among young generation. Why this change is happening? I think it's because people know more about how to speak yourself and love yourself. The moment I learn to accept myself and love myself, I learn how to be tolerant of others.

I‘ve changed my mind on this question over years. Because there isn't an absolute rule for all cases when we talk about whether to give up a thing or not. I used to think we should always motivate ourselves in difficulties, because we need to catch the opportunity and at least we learn from the failures. This is true, but may not adapt to everyone and every life stage. Nowadays, I more and more agree with the thought that giving up or not giving up is just a choice under a specific situation. It's not and should not be a big deal in your long life. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, because life is about regrets and in most cases you actually have the second chance. I prefer to have a peaceful and easy way to deal with my own life. So I think, we can just give up when we want to.

My elder female cousin used to be my idol. She is 5 years older than me, she seems didn't study hard, but she could get a top score among students. She used to be very introverted and nervous, but she jumped out her comfort zone becoming the monitor and made a lot of friends. As her little sister, she was like always ahead of me and led me. I dreamed to be an excellent student just like her. Nowadays, it's hard for me to name an idol any more, because I value my own thoughts so much and I rely on myself. Having an idol or not, I still know well about myself: which I can do or which I can't. I would say the impact of having an idol is decreased for me as I have become an adult so many years. I don't have an idol in life now, but there are many people I show my respect and look to them. I think people is not perfect, but there is always some aspects I can refer to as a role model.

The definition of beauty has been changing a lot all the time. Because the definition of beauty never exists alone, it is related to history, culture and the society development level. With the development of society, and more people get the opportunity of education, I think I increasingly agree with the current mainstream aesthetic. That is the tolerance to multiple definition of beauty. Beauty can be everything, everyone has his or her thoughts about what is beauty, and this can be supported and accepted. Beauty can be inter beauty, when someone has a beautiful heart, he or she can be regarded possessing beauty.

I think the biggest change in payment trends over the last 10 years in China is cashlessness. Nowadays, we have had more than 5 e-payment platforms people can choose from, they are all convenient to use and differ in different financial service they can provide. Cashlessness has many good points: decrease the crime rate; decrease the disease transmission through hands; decrease the counterfeit money transmission... Considering the benefits a cashless society has brought to us, I appreciate the change a lot. It just makes life easier for most people. It also causes inconvenience for the elderly, the biggest problem would be the difficulties for they to adapt to the new technology, even it seems simple for everyone. I think we should still keep the tradition way a space for someone who don't embrace changes, the best is to give people choices.

I highly appreciate that the elders can still try to learn new things. First, the average lifetime of human has been greatly expanded when compared with the situation decades ago. It is due to the high level of medical maturity and the continuous improvement of living standards. So 65 is not a age of dying but a age of happy retired life. Second, 65 is a great age when most people can have both time and money, with a relatively healthy body, you can do a lot of things if you want. So it is also a good time to learn something new. Finally, I think it is never too late to learn something new no matter how old we are, because holding curiosity to the world is just a life attitude, it is a way to make people feel they are alive and life is meaningful.

I think social network is an effective way for us to develop new relationships, because it is time-saving. Besides, speaking on net is easier for most of the introverts to break the ice with the person they first meet. But if we want to build the relationships true and long, we can't only rely on social network. Face to face interactions and conversations are important to maintain a true relationship. Words on net have no temperature, but a smile or an embrace can indeed warm everyone's heart. Also, things on social network are not all real, face to face interactions can help you to identify the true friends.
