Passage 30　　 Playing your heroes

When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt (酷拉皮卡)! It's Curarpikt!" 　　 At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that's exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying (角色扮演) "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book "Hunter X Hunter" (《猎人》) by Yoshihiro Togashi (富坚义博). 　　 “I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15-year-old girl. "I'm moved by his sad story and I'm attracted by his courage and personality (个性)." 　　 In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind-hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture (俘获) the people who killed his tribe (部落). 　　 Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series (动画片) of "Hunter X Hunter". Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt" in a cosplay show. 　　 "I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It's really exciting to see young people wearing the make-up and costumes (装束) of characters that you've read about and are familiar with. 　　 "But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go." 　　 Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October. 　　 "It's a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said.

But she never talks about this hobby with her parents. "They think it will distract me from my studies. I don't want to upset them So it's my secret hobby," she said. "It's also why I don't dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others."
