  Imagine what you will be doing in seven years.Are you getting your first job or just studying in another country?

  When the Taiwan band Relax One(轻松玩)was formed in 1998, they wanted to release their own albums.And now they have.

  When the four group members came to the mainland to promote their first album “I Want Relax One”, they told Teens how they made their dream come true.

  Guitarist Xiaomao set up his own music studio when he was only 17 after he graduated from Danjiang High School.This is the same high school from which other stars graduated, including Jay Chou and Monster from Mayday.

  “It doesn’t mean you are a loser simply because you don’t like school,” Xiaomao believed.He had a good time hanging around with music lovers.Then he met drummer A-kui, who was rather rebellious at that time.

  Both A-kui’s parents are high school teachers.Born in such a family meant few choices for him-going to a good university and finding a decent(体面的)job seemed to be his future.A-kui was already on that road, being a top student in one of the top high schools in Taiwan.

  “But I didn’t want to be planned,” said A-kui.He took up drumming.The reason that he didn’t choose guitar or bass was simply that they were too costly.

  “To learn to play drums, all you need is a pair of drumsticks,” A-kui said with a smile.“My family didn’t want me to do music so I didn’t have the money to buy a guitar.”?

  Xiaorenguo was A-kui’s fellow student in Alethia University, majoring in information management.Being infected by A-kui’s enthusiasm for music, he began playing bass(贝司).

  They formed a band.Parents’ objections, financial pressure and changing of band members-nothing stopped their dream.

  And then lead vocalist(主唱)Summer, who now writes all the songs, joined in 1998.

  Summer loved singing when she was a kid.After graduating from Fu Jen University, she began her exploration of music.

  Her voice and talent for writing songs were acknowledged(得到承认)before she joined the band.She had written songs for other singers, such as China Dolls(中国娃娃).Some producers even tried to persuade her to develop a career on her own.

  But Summer insisted on staying with the band.“We are like a family,” Summer explained.

  Attention all Chinese challengers to the Indian with the world's longest ear hair(4 inches)or the Americans who smooched(拥抱)their way to the world's longest kiss(30 hours, 59 minutes, 27 seconds)-your day has come.And this time it's official.

  The Guinness Book of World Records landed in China on Thursday, bestowing 10 awards on record-breaking people and places and for the first time permitting a local firm to look for more.

  The London-based institution has a law case against a Shanghai company which borrowed the Guinness label, said Stewart Newport, the Keeper of the Records.

  "It's unfortunate that some people may have been misled, but hopefully this will correct it," he said.

  Guinness has signed an agreement with the Liaoning Education Press, based in the northeastern city of Shenyang, to publish the Chinese-language edition of its record book and review applicants for future editions, Newport said.

  Guinness first published its record book in 1955.The reference now claims to be world's best selling copyrighted book with sales of more than 94 million copies in 37 languages-only the Bible, not exclusively copy written, has sold more.

  Most of China's new record-holders were long overdue.

  They include athletes like diver Fu Mingxia, who became the world's youngest sporting champion at the tender age of 12 in 1991 and is unlikely ever to be beaten.

  And since July, 1980, a movie house has been screening the classic "Love on Lushan Mountain" four times a day, everyday, to tourists in the picturesque Jiangxi province setting which gave the film its name.Guinness researchers took more than two months to determine to their satisfaction that no other theater had continuously shown the same film as long.
