Why Is That Woman Reading Aloud in Heavy Traffic?

On most weekday mornings, as a honking swarm of suburban commuters merges onto the clotted
beltway here known as the Third Ring Road, Ouyang Junying stands beside the rush hour traffic,
opens a book and reads aloud.

It is one of the worst traffic snarls in the city, with exhaust and noise rising into the air, but Ms.
Ouyang has been going there for almost five years. She is studying English and believes the
distractions help her concentrate.

She reads. Beijing stares. And wonders: Why is this woman reading in such a terrible spot?

Beijing has long tolerated, even celebrated, certain types of exhibitionists, with the city's many parks
filled with people practising tai chi or even ballroom dancing. With 15 million people living in
cramped quarters, the parks serve as the city's collective backyard out of necessity. But Ms. Ouyang
does not like them.

"If I study in a park, people always watch me," she said. "They are so curious. But if cars pass me, I
don't care."

Like many others, she has taken an English name, Joy, and her cellphone rings with a ballad in
English. When she started coming here five years ago, traffic was far lighter. But suburban housing
compounds have now sprouted around Beijing. Many of the city's wealthiest people now travel
through the greenish morning haze toward the ramp to the Third Ring Road.

They are greeted there by Ms. Ouyang who was featured by a Beijing television station last year as a
model of hard work for younger students.
