I opted for ‘beau’ because it was the male equivalent of ‘belle’, and campus belle/belle of the ball is an actual term.’ [[Meihua Liu, Non-Human Seeking Re-Employment, 2019|(Meihua Liu 2019, chap. 79; translation note)]] ^770644 ‘In the translucent mirror, a small child was chasing the candy guards, holding the candy guard’s weapon – a lollipop – and randomly waving it around, destroying countless facilities in the process. He was simply the living embodiment of a bear child. Every bear child, of course, has a bear parent who spoils him, and his parents were walking behind him.’ [[Meihua Liu, Non-Human Seeking Re-Employment, 2019|(Meihua Liu 2019, chap. 138)]] ^a90df8 ‘ 坦白 从宽、抗拒 从严: China’s criminal policy, that is, criminals who thoroughly and truthfully confess should be dealt with leniently, and those who refuse to truthfully confess their crimes should be dealt with strictly.’ [[Meihua Liu, Non-Human Seeking Re-Employment, 2019|(Meihua Liu 2019. chap. 135; translation note)]] ^2b77ee ‘【Please note: Haiduo Kindergarten is currently looking for chefs, kindergarten teachers, security personnel and cleaners, the wage and benefits given are rich and generous with many opportunities for promotion and its provided insurance covers all five aspects.

Numerous handicrafts were pasted on the walls, a myriad of colours was used to jot down short information on the blackboard, and the tables and chairs were downsized, making it extremely cute overall.’ [[Meihua Liu, Non-Human Seeking Re-Employment, 2019|(Meihua Liu 2019, chap. 69)]] ^d8a699 ‘It was the multi-storied building for the political education office.’ [[Meihua Liu, Non-Human Seeking Re-Employment, 2019|(Meihua Liu 2019, chap. 13)]] ^f8bbb9
