Demure: Xi Mingze has been studying at Harvard under a
pseudonym since 2010
Demurely dressed in a high-necked
jumper on a chilly autumn day, the pretty 20-year-old brunette could be any
university student.
But this photograph posted on
Facebook shows Xi Mingze, the new 'princess' of China.
As the cherished only daughter of
China's new president Xi Jinping, Ms Xi, nicknamed Muzi, is being expensively
educated
in the US, where she has been enrolled under a pseudonym since 2010 at
Harvard University, Massachusetts.
'She is a bookworm, very quiet and
studious,' one of her acquaintances, a Chinese writer, told The Mail on Sunday
last night.
Though she is said to be protected by
bodyguards, she has shunned the party lifestyle of another Chinese 'princeling'
at Harvard, Bo Guagua.
Mr Bo, whose mother Gu Kailai
murdered British businessman Neil Heywood, was renowned at Oxford and Harvard as
a playboy. His politician father, Bo Xilai, faces corruption charges.
In contrast, friends of Ms Xi
say she devotes herself to her courses, which include political studies. She
attended a discussion last spring about the political tumult convulsing China's
Communist Party, where she reportedly listened 'intently' from the top row of
the lecture hall.

week
Flamboyant: Xi Mingze's mother Peng Liyuan is a well
known singer
Her mother, a flamboyant People's
Liberation Army singer, Peng Liyuan, 49, is Mr Xi's second wife.
Ms Xi was said to have been sent to
America because her father is an admirer of Western culture.
