Kristy Zhang

Zhang Hanyun (simplified Chinese: 张含韵; traditional Chinese: 張含韻; pinyin: Zhāng Hányùn; born 9 April 1989 in Deyang, Sichuan), also known as Baby Zhang or Kristy Zhang, is a Chinese singer. Kristy rose to fame as runner-up of the singing contest Super Girl 2004.
With “Super Girl 2004″ ending with great success not so long ago, Zhang Hanyun, who finished in third place in last year’s national final, has just released her first album, ‘I am just Zhang Hanyun’.[1]
Ever since Zhang became the advertising face for Mengniu Dairy Corporation, she has become a household name. She was given the name Baby Zhang because of her lovely looks. Little though she is, she also has great expectations and works hard so that one day she will take a stage of her own. She believes there must be some day in the future when her singing wins the recognition of the public.[1]
The lyrics of her song ‘Sour and Sweet Is What I Am’(酸酸甜甜就是我) give a vivid depiction of a teenager’s life and thoughts:[1]
“With earphones in my ears I read comic books under the bedcovers. I may still be in an ivory tower, but I really want to grow up. Mom and Dad, please don’t call me stupid. Although I am well-behaved, that doesn’t mean I don’t have any thoughts of my own.”[1]
Adapted from Pretty Young Thing, a tune sung by Lene Nystrom of the pop group Aqua, Zhang’s version is pretty much like the story of an innocent girl who wishes to grow up soon.[1]
Just like the diary of a well-behaved kid, this song easily arouses strong emotions in people of her own age, who account for a large part of the listeners’ market. The song reflects the real thoughts of many Chinese students today. They yearn for a long vacation, and get bored with numerous tests and homework.[1]
Her song ‘In a test’ (考试中) shows a totally different style of her music. With rap added, this song is more rhythmic and brighter. It suggests that students should not cheat in tests.

Beautiful wife
Oct 6
A man and his wife were walking on a busy street. Coming to a corner a begger shouted out to the lady:
“Oh sundari!!! andhha huu. sawa panch rupya de de” (Oh beautiful!! I am blind give me five and a quarter rupees)
At once her husband told her: “de de, de de, tujhhe sundari bola hai to har haal me ye andhha hi hai!!” (Give him what he asks, If he thinks you are beautiful then there is no doubt that he is blind!!)
