Vivi(@vivilinsv):Does this girl look like a spy to you? This is reportedly Alice Huang’s middle school graduation photo from 1993. She looks happy, hopeful, with her whole life ahead of her. A girl from Xiangtan, Hunan, smiling for the camera. Typical small-town, big ambition energy. Who could have imagined that, decades later, her name would be linked to espionage allegations and billions in lost market value? What happened between that schoolgirl smile and the headlines we’re reading today?
