摘要

THE most distinctive feature of the spring／summer fashion show held in Paris on April 20 was that the models elegantly stalking along the catwalk wore gauze masks.This was no fashion designer's whim,but a realistic aspect of contemporary life.To residents of Beijing,the gauze mask has since March 2003 become a daily accessory,Humorous text messages like:“Softly I outline your ears,gently I touch your cheeks,and sweetly I kiss your lips…But don't mistake me for anything but a gauze mask.Wear me whenever you go out,”are being transmitted by the capital's many mobile phone users.The Chinese people may now be able to treat the SARS virus with humor,but its first appearance caused widespread fear and panic.
