"But You Didn't" poem, translated and illustrated in Chinese.

The #1 hottest microblog post of the day yesterday on China’s Sina Weibo social network…

From Sina Weibo:

@肥啾榭一: Someone once said that the greatest hurt to a woman is not you falling in love with someone else but disappointing her when she has expectations of you. “But You Didn’t”, a poem I saw on the internet, is one I’ve been wanting to draw into a comic/cartoon strip and after staying up all night, I’ve finally managed to do it! As a late Valentine’s Day gift, I post it onto Weibo! TAT

Fauna is a mysterious young Shanghainese girl who lives in the only place a Shanghainese person would ever want to live: Shanghai. In mid-2008, she started chinaSMACK to combine her hobby of browsing Chinese internet forums with her goal of improving her English. Through her tireless translation of popular Chinese internet news and phenomenon, her English has apparently gotten dramatically better. At least, reading and writing-wise. Unfortunately, she's still not confident enough to have written this bio, about herself, by herself.
