Happy Lives of Twin Girls Huniu

The interview to the Huniu Jiang Yan and Jiang Jing was held in newly married Jiang Yan’s wedding house at Jiangbei in Nanjing city. This pair of 24-year-old twin sisters were born in the year of tiger, so did their grandmothers and mother. It was quite a pleasant experience for the reporter to hear the twin tiger girls talking about the lives and marriage of the tiger family.

Friendship：sisters as well as good friends

This was the first time the reporter interviews twins so close and so long. The door opening, two pretty faces appeared with smile. "I am Jiang Yan, the older sister." "I am Jiang Jing, the younger sister." The designed "guessing" part was skipped by such self introductions. 

"By the way, this is Liu He, my husband, and her brother-in-law." Jiang Yan said while meeting the reporter to the sofa, "commanding" the shy guy to serve tea.

The reporter took a close look at the twins while drinking water. The older sister who works at the ticketing center of Nanjing metro company looked pretty with light makeup, and the younger sister working as a nurse in the provincial Chinese hospital looked graceful and quiet even without makeup. As generalized in the mind, "Two sets of organs form different characteristics."

"We used to look alike at childhood, but then grew up into different styles individually." Jiang Yan solved the puzzle. Like all other twins, they also had a great many jokes. They used to be mixed up by neighbours, teachers, and even their careless father. "I remember that we were both afraid of having face washed. Then our father caught us around the table. One may get caught twice."

To the sisters, they grew more and more different because they hadn’t met each other quite often since university. "I went to study in Suzhou, and my younger sister stayed in Nanjing. We hardly had the chance to meet with each other except for the winter vacation and summer vacation." Jiang Yan said that after graduation, they could live together again for working. But since the younger sister needed to work for evening shifts, they usually miss to meet each other.

With more separation than gathering, the inseparable sister cherish the time they meet. "When we both have leisure time, we will have meals together or sing sons." But the favorite thing for the sisters is chatting together, "We’re sisters, as well as bosom friend."

As Jiang Jing said, the older sister had had good grades, been good at singing and dancing, and then she had been her idol and example. But Jiang Yan said, the younger sister had been quiet since childhood and she was sober in working and communicating, which was worthy for her to learn. In the interview, the sisters simmered at such sincere mutual praise.
