It's in Chinese but there are pictures. The story goes something like this: the girl, obviously very pretty, had a very good academic record while going to school in the Henan Province. This created envy among her classmates and 3 of them decide to harm her. They get sulfuric acid and sprinkle it on her face on January 21, 2003. Since then, the person who did it has been sentenced to death penalty.

It's so sad that people have to be like this. I'm worried too now since I'm currently rank #1 at my school (though maybe not for long), though I'm not very pretty ;)

There is so much bad in the world, so we try not to dwell. You do what you can, mainly be a better person yourself.

It's some of that same negative stuff that makes people "key" cars... That envy green can come out in nasty ways!

I'm not saying that keying a car compares to having acid put on.... Just that mentality is the same. Destroying what we're jealous of. It's amazing the lengths people will go, isn't it?

Luckily the good out number the bad! I think being happy for what others have accomplished is the way to go. It can be used to set new heights for yourself. Not in competition with THEM, but with yourself. Be your best.
