Lately, whenever I go to Japan, my Japanese friends always ask me where in Japan I'm from. They get so shocked when I tell them I'm Taiwanese!! They all assumed I was Japanese. It's probably because my skin has gotten a lot fairer recently, plus my Boa Hancock hairstyle and makeup.🤣 最近去日本都會被日本友人問我是日本哪裡人? 他們一聽到我是台灣人都嚇到!! 他們都以為我是日本人 可能是因為我最近皮膚白很多 加上蛇姬髮型和妝容的關係吧🤣

On August 28th, at a military port in Qingdao, China, a detachment of the Northern War Zone Navy held the retirement ceremony of Ship 112 (ship name: Harbin Ship). All the officers and soldiers lined up neatly. Following an order, the “8.1-Army-flag” on the deck mast slowly lowered. The officers and soldiers presented a final military salute to Ship 112, which meant that Ship 112 had gloriously completed its mission mission and officially retired from the People’s Navy’s combat sequence. Ship 112 is the second-generation main warship that our country self-developed and built, and is the lead ship of the guided missile destroyer type 052. 8月28日，中国青岛某军港码头，北部战区海军某支队举行112舰（舰名：哈尔滨舰）退役仪式，全舰官兵整齐列队，随着一声令下，甲板桅杆上的八一军旗缓缓降下，官兵们向112舰献上最后一个军礼，这意味着112舰光荣完成了它的使命任务，正式退出人民海军战斗序列。112舰是我国自行研制建造的第二代主战舰艇，是052型导弹驱逐舰首舰。 #China# Navy
