When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)!It's Curarpikt!"
At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that's exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (《猎人》) by Yoshihiro Togashi (富坚义博).
"I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him, "said the pretty 15-year-old girl. "I'm moved by his sad story and I'm attracted by his courage and personality."
In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind-hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture (俘获) the people who killed his tribe (部落).
Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series (动画片) Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt" in a cosplay show.
"I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun, " She explained. "It's really exciting to see young people wearing the make-up and costumes of characters that you've read about and are familiar with. "
"But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go."
Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October.
"It's a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do, " she said.
But she never talks about this hobby with her parents.
"They think it will distract me from my studies. I don't want to upset them so it's my secret hobby, " she said. "It's also why I don't dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others. "

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many dines when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
