Just as expected: lol

^ One of the newly accessioned formal members is probably an Uyghur (a Turkic ethnic minority in a northwestern autonomous region), judging by her name.
Have just checked her official data - she was really born in that autonomous region, & also considering her name & Caucasian facial features, now I'm pretty sure she's an Uyghur, even tho those data haven't listed her ethnicity. :)
Her self-introductory blog entry yesterday, w/ many pics: ::love::

微博

^ Her full name in Chinese is pretty long (10 characters). XD The Uyghur girl is a graduate of the Xinjiang Arts University in the homonymous autonomous region. :)

As a professional actress graduated from a renowned university-level acting school, the very charismatic girl is focusing on acting these days. :)

^ Note that it's not shot in Europe - those iconic famous architectures are all bootlegs, lol which're commonplace around the country (an entire White House has been bootlegged by a small county to be used as the office of the county govt. lol ).
