But parents and teachers want to read this one, too. It can teach them something about the language of todays kids.So lots of people, young and old, went to see the books author, 19-year-old Korean girl Guiyeoni, on Saturday. She was in Beijing to sign books for her fans. “Guiyeoni wrote a story that is near to us and goes to our hearts,” said a Junior 2 student in Beijing. “When I read it, I laughed and I cried.”Like the “Meteor Garden” TV series, “That Guy Was Cool” tells an unusual story of love between two students. The girl is sweet, but shes just average（一般的）. The boy is good-looking and has everything, but he is often unhappy because his father died when he was very young. They become close and help each other to be happy. In the end, they fall in love.“The girl in the book is like me. Shes simple and moody,” said Guiyeoni.Guiyeonis book doesnt only use words. It also uses things like emotions. Emotions are small icons, like smiling faces, and they are used to show emotions. Kids know what these things mean, because they often use them when they talk on the Internet or send messages with mobile phones.Guiyeoni said she wrote this way because of her young readers. “Writing with pictures is vivid（生动）and can say a lot of things,” she said.Guiyeoni began writing the books story on the Web in 2001 when she was a Senior 2 （高二）student. Last year, she put that online story together to make this book. “That Guy Was Cool” has been made into a film, and it will come out in Korea next month.This is Guiyeonis first of four books, and she hopes to keep writing as she goes through college.
