A Chinese computer programmer enters an AI competition. He creates a humanoid and when he teaches her how to speak and learn about the human way, she soon develops her own independent human personality and preferences.

Wang Hui, a talented Chinese computer programmer, enters an AI competition. He creates and programs and humanoid who looks "perfect" in every way. Upon activation, however, he discovers that he has messed up her language faculties, and so he has to teach her how to speak the "old-fashioned" way. On this learning journey, Xiao Qi develops her own rather human personalities and preferences, much to Wang Hui's chagrin.—Holger E. Metzger
