Interesting.

Gosh, I'm offended! :) She is very easy on the eyes, and as Mama Nabi said, her good looks are most definitely part of the package. As much as I value my own sense of entrepreneurship, I don't think people would pay me to have a meal with them or pay me to see the birth of their child! Well, good looks or not, I'm happy for her. She's doing lots of philanthropic-volunteer-types-of-things, and it sounds like she's translating her ideas into some pretty cool actions. If she wrote a book about what she has learned after doing this, I'd definitely check it out. (and not just for the pictures, Akrypti!) Akrypti,

I will venture to say, however, that she is probably able to do as much as she is doing due to, as Akrypti noted, her good looks. I know, it sounds shallow but I'm sure it didn't escape anyone's attention that she is a very good looking girl. I noticed on one of the photos that some guy paid her to meet him at the airport and then later to have a meal with him. That said, her looks don't take away from the fact that this is actually quite an excellent and innovative use of the internet to do simple things - things that make her feel fulfilled in life so kudos to her!

I kept hitting results for a "Xiao Chen," who is apparently a big-time computer hacker in China. http://www.trendblogging.org/2008/03/xiao-chen-hacker/ Haha...I guess it's computer related, but it wasn't the result I was looking for... Thanks so much for finding the site. I'm going to take a look at it (with the help of Google Translator...) JesterJames: I had to google the definition of MMORPG, probably because I've never played one before. I keep hearing about those games; someday I'll have to check them out. Looks very interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMORPG Stephanie,

I'm just noticing something. She is essentially playing an MMORPG in real life. She is running "misc. quests" she receives from taobao. lol. This comment is not meant to belittle anyone.
