Excerpt:
"At the inauguration party at the Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai in the People's Park, 10 elite Chinese models, including the supermodel du jour Du Juan, displayed exquisite diamond jewelry composed of 7,956 diamonds weighing 401 carats, worth of 27 million yuan (US$3.46 million). There were more bodyguards than models. Each model was escorted by a group of bodyguards as soon as she stepped onto the runway.
These diamonds that last for more than a lifetime were designed by leading Chinese jewelers, such as Chow Sang Sang and Chow Tai Fook, especially for the event. The most precious stones were cut into intricate shapes of blossoms, leaves, drops and butterflies, as well as the traditional shapes of hearts, squares and circles.
Du wore a complicated 628,800-yuan five-string necklace and a pair of pendant earrings, a bit heavy for a 19-year-old. Right after the show, the brilliant Shanghai girl was to fly to New York to shoot for Time magazine - the first Chinese model to appear on the cover of Time."

a poor girl, i dun think so, considering her ballet training and her parents' careers as architects i'd say for sure her upbringing was very bourgeois 
i grew up in Shanghai & something like ballet both as a hobby and a career would only be practiced by those very well off, which is a rare percentage anyway.
but i understand how one's gotta sell yer soul a bit when yer getting paid a couple million to put on some jewelry..

Come on, do you really have to be so nasty?!
If you really despise her so much (based on your posts in this thread, it seems like you DO), what's the point of lingering around on this thread?By the way, this is a commercial event, she was there to promote the product, diamond, what else could she say? Should we expect her to say stuff like "diamond is symbolic of vanity and vulgarity", "every woman should hate and despise diamond"? Let's use a bit of common sense please.
