I, Li Keren, am a veritable ugly duckling, and I have evolved in the opposite direction. According to relatives' recollections, when I was a child, I was loved by everyone—my cousins all chased after me and asked me to be their bride. Although it was before I was ten years old at that time, look at what I look like now: a messy/grabbed ponytail, a square face, small eyes with thick glasses, a body like a stick, and a set of steel teeth (they used to be toothy). . . God, I really wonder if they thought I was the only girl in the world or if they had temporary amblyopia.
