2012 has just gone. In this year, there are certain people whose laughers and tears affect people all over the world. They come and go on the global economic and political stages; they research in every field of human scientific technology; they emerge in the global entertainment trend; they live their lives with happiness or wait for another breakthrough in silence, or accept helplessly whatever life gives them. They make the whole world remember them in their own way.
