Rowling wrote her first story, called Rabbit, at the age of six.

After she graduated from the university, Rowling worked as a translator in London. During this time, on a long train trip in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who has magic but doesn't know it. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter, Jessica, and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June 1995. To her surprise, the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November 2001. Now Harry Potter series is popular with people of all ages and about 450 million copies were sold in 200 countries. Why has the series been so successful?

Almost everyone has experienced a twist of fate (命运的转折) at some point of their lives. Chinese actor, Hu Ge, is no different. And his story is more amazing than most.

Hu enjoyed success at a very young age. In 2005, he acted as a swordsman in the TV series The Legend of Sword and Fairy (仙剑奇侠传), who later became a classic character. Then the 23-year-old Hu became the first choice for costume idol dramas (古装偶像剧).

Everything was going well until a serious car accident in 2006 changed his life. The accident almost killed Hu and left a big scar (伤疤) by his right eye. Although Hu still got invitations to be in idol dramas, he realized that being an idol with just a pretty face is not what he wanted.

For the next few years, he tried acting in serious dramas and stage plays. He didn’t mind being covered with dirt and blood (血) when playing a soldier. He practiced the plays hundreds of times to make sure he did well.

Hu’s hard work haven’t got much attention until last year. Two TV dramas he acted in, The Disguiser (伪装者) and Nirvana in Fire (琅琊榜),helped him get back on top.
