PERSONALITY AND BEHAVIOR:

Zhou Yue xia is a charming girl but for a long time she had been excessively shy. She didn't talk to people much and she appeared to have heavy burdens inside of her; perhaps it was because of her tragic background. It took a long time before she opened up and began to associate with others. We are so blessed to see her positive change.
