　　Several days ago, while I was logging onto QQ, my cousin's QQ head popped out online.We hadn't seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a conversation with her.My cousin is studying in a vocational school of our city.Judging from her hairstyle and her clothing, you can get the impression that she is a fashionable girl.And her hobby is surfing the Internet, for she majors in computer science.Every time I am online, she is always online, listening to music or decorating her “personal space”．I like visiting her space.It's very creative and modern and worth a visit.I can't imagine my designing such a colorful web page.There's no denying that teenagers are more innovative (创新的) than adults.

　　When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been tweaked, but I could still comprehend their meaning.I took a strong interest in this type of new characters.Nowadays, Thanks to the Internet communication, new thoughts and ideas are being introduced to China, which challenged people's traditional values and quickened their pace of life.Young people now are searching for a swift way to communicate with each other.QQ message and instant text message on the mobile phone are two major means they turn to.Further observation made me realize that they added some common radicals to the original characters, making them more vivid, a little like Japanese.My cousin said this gives new life to Chinese language and culture.
