Transsexual babe does not want to be China's HarisuPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, June 3, 2004 12:20 PM
Pictured above is Harisu, who used to be a man and is now a successful model and actress in Korea. On the left is a scan from the weekend edition of the Beijing Daily Messenger, which is printed on pink paper and does its best to act like a proper tabloid. Last weekend's edition had a story about transexual Chen Lili, who was earlier reported to want to become "China's Harisu". Apparently that is not the case. Other highlights from the interview: - She hates being called a transsexual There's more about Chen Lili on Danwei here (including a picture of Harisu which makes it difficult to believe she was ever a man) and here. The image of Harisu was taken from starfigures.com; the Chen Lili article was scanned from Beijing Messenger's print edition.
