linkA 24-year-old male Chinese, determined to become a woman, got financial support Sunday from South Korean transsexual entertainer Ha Ri-su to finance his gender alteration surgery, Qilu Evening News reported Monday.
Zhang Lei, a native of northeast China's Jilin Province, has reportedly been suffering from a gender identity disorder since he was very young. He was born with the Hypospadias disease, which annoyed him of being a boy.

The first phase of the operation falls on a day in the middle of this month. Ha Ri-su encouraged Zhang to live with confidence, and wished him to become a charming lady.
Transsexuals came into the attention of the public only in recent years, but the news has been eruptible. Data showed that in China, a country where people traditionally don't openly talk about sex, roughly 400,000 people, most of them men, have demanded to change into the opposite sex, among whom more than 1,000 have taken action.
