Last September, Tang Ying started her campus life in photography department of Nanjing Normal University, and her younger sister who got born ten minutes after her studied fashion design in Guangdong Industry University.

The secret: one goes north and the other stays in Guangdong

The twin sister TangYing and Tang Yang came to Zhongshan from Guilin in Guangxi with their parents in 2002, and started studying in Zhongshan memory middle school. They had had many similar hobbies, "Singing, swimming, playing ball games... we did everything together." Tang Ying spoke very fast. In high school, the sisters who like painting both got into the talent class, and their mother became the head teacher.

In the first semester of grade three, Tang Ying and Tang Yang went to Beijing and Guangzhou respectively in order to learn from professional teachers. It was the first time they got separated for a long time.  "Although we quarreled a lot when staying together, we did felt lonely without each other." Tang Ying said that she usually kept painting till three o’clock at midnight when studying in Beijing, and her sister Tang Yang called from Guangzhou every week to encourage her. "Let’s strive together."

One goes north and the other stays in Guangdong, this was a secret for the twins: we had an appointment to have one accompanying parents in Guangdong. Tang Ying said that they both yearned for Beijing, but they finally decided to get separated after having stayed together for 18 years, and then one could stay working in Guangdong after graduation.

Sister's dream: to meet in Paris

It became well-known that both twin sisters got admitted to universities, and their mother became hot too. Many parents consulted, "how did you raise two graduates?"

When parting, Tang Ying had only one thing to tell her younger sister: you will be in charge of my future wedding gown designing. Tang Yang replied that her wedding photos will be done by her sister. Then, they both smiled. In holiday, the twins stayed together, talking about future plans of listening to music in the USA, and spending fashion week in Paris.
