Guo Meimei, the 23-year-old who was held on suspicion of illegal gambling, was formally arrested for prostitution and organizing gambling in August.

现年23岁的郭美美涉嫌非法聚赌，今年8月她因卖淫和非法聚赌正式被逮捕。

But her biggest sin, which she herself so relentlessly touted, is the pursuit of wealth through dubious means and the excessive ways of squandering it.

但是她最大的罪过(也是她自己大肆宣扬的)是她以不光彩的方式攫取财富并大肆挥霍。

8、周永康 Zhou Yongkang

The announcement of the investigation into former senior official Zhou Yongkang in July has revealed the courage and resolution of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to purify itself and run itself with strict discipline.

今年7月，中共中央纪律检查委员会宣布对前高级官员周永康立案一事，显示了中国共产党的自我净化、自我革新的政治勇气和反腐决心。

The arrest of Zhou Yongkang was announced in December. It was beyond the expectation of many that such a top Party official would be brought to court and put on trial.

12月周永康正式被逮捕。这让许多人感到难以置信：如此一位中共高级官员竟会被移送法庭受审。

9、李银河 Li Yinhe

On Dec 18, China's best-known sexologist and sociologist, Li Yinhe, for the first time revealed her female-to-male transsexual partner of 17 years in her blog, refuting tabloid newspapers which have said she is leading an "abnormal" life being a "lesbian". The post attracted public attention to transgender people, a group that has been largely unknown and unacknowledged.

12月18日，中国最知名性学者、社会学家李银河第一次在博客公开同居17年的变性伴侣，以此对那些对抨击她是“同性恋”、过着“非正常”生活的小报进行了驳斥。该博文引起公众对那些普遍不为人知、不被认可变性人群的关注。

"Discrimination against people like me is always present, along with public and family pressures, but, compared with the happiness and satisfaction of being who I really want to be, those things are insignificant," she said.

她说：“我这样的人常常会受到歧视还有来自公众和家庭的压力，但是，比起能做真正的自己的快乐和满足，那些事情就不无足重轻了。”

10、呼格吉勒图 Huugjilt

A retrial lasting more than three weeks finally acquitted a young man called Huugjilt of the rape and murder of a young woman, for which he was wrongly executed in 1996 at the age of 18.

持续三个多星期的再审最终宣告名为呼格吉勒图的年轻人无罪。1996年，年仅18岁的呼格吉勒图因被误判犯有强奸罪、故意杀人罪而被处以死刑。

For the building of a real rule of law, redressing any misjudged cases, the ones involving wrongly executed innocent people such as Huugjilt in particular, is of utmost importance.

要实现真正的法治建设，最为重要的是：修正的冤假错案，尤其是呼格吉勒图这样的涉及死刑的案件。
