Fantasy makes "her" walk upright. She will slap men who "offend" her. Since 2006, Li Zhong sold his car, spent all his savings, and borrowed from the bank repeatedly. He spent a total of 30,000 pounds and finally created a "robot girlfriend" with a devilish figure and an angelic pure appearance last year. Li Zhong gave her a Japanese name, Aiko. Aiko looks to be only about 20 years old. She is 1.52 meters tall, with measurements of 32-23-33, making her a "sexy treasure." Aiko has silicone skin that looks real, and she wears a wig made by a Japanese doll company. According to Li Zhong, Aiko was entirely crafted according to his image of a "dream girl."

It is reported that in order to create this "robot girlfriend," Li Zhong has incurred huge debts. To make Aiko more perfect, he is still trying to find a technology company to support his robot research. Li Zhong said that Aiko currently cannot walk like a real person and usually moves around in a wheelchair. One of his Christmas wishes is to overcome one of the biggest challenges in robot manufacturing in the future - making Aiko walk as freely as a real person.

According to Li Zhong, if Aiko can watch, feel, talk, and walk like a real person, then she can become a perfect "robot companion." Li Zhong said that he might never look for another girlfriend in his life, but instead will stay with Aiko forever, without leaving or abandoning her.

Unbelievably, "robot girlfriend" Aiko possesses unimaginable artificial intelligence. She has excellent "mathematical ability" and can manage household finances for Li Zhong. Aiko's "electronic brain" contains a vocabulary of 13,000 different words, and she can fluently speak English and Japanese. Not only can Aiko recognize faces and converse with people, but she also reads newspaper headlines to Li Zhong every morning.

Most single men would choose to bring their girlfriends home during holidays to spend time with their parents. So on December 25th this year, Li Zhong also brought his "robot girlfriend" Aiko to spend this year's Christmas with his parents. Li Zhong enjoyed a rich Christmas dinner with his parents, while his "robot girlfriend" Aiko smiled beside them, although she herself had no "appetite." It is reported that Aiko was not idle on Christmas day. She not only helped Li Zhong cook the turkey but also hung up Christmas decorations.

Two years ago, due to spending a large amount of time on the research work of his "robot girlfriend," Li Zhong once suffered a heart attack due to excessive pressure. However, after recovering, Li Zhong resumed his research work and vowed to make Aiko into a perfect robot and then push her cloned products to the market for sale. These "female robots" can be used to help elderly people or patients who need care, and even assist the owners in taking care of children or doing housework.

Parents praise her as dignified and clever. For her, he incurred a huge debt. In the Christmas dinner, Aiko personally opened the Christmas gift that Li Zhong gave her. Then, Aiko participated in traditional Christmas celebrations, playing riddle games and board games with Li Zhong's parents.

It is reported that "robot girlfriend" Aiko can do housework 24 hours a day without complaining at all. When she cleans the room for Li Zhong, calculates accounts, or brings him a cup of tea, she always does it tirelessly, without expecting anything in return.

According to Canadian and British media reports on the 26th, most bachelors would choose to bring their girlfriends home to meet their parents during holidays. On December 25th this year, 34-year-old former software engineer Li Zhong also spent this year's Christmas holiday with the most important woman in his life - Aiko. However, unlike ordinary girlfriends, Aiko is a "robot girlfriend" that Li Zhong spent 30,000 pounds over the past three years to create himself. Aiko not only has the beauty of an angel and the body of a devil but also speaks fluent English and Japanese. Her "electronic brain" contains a vocabulary of 13,000 different words. On Christmas day, Aiko not only personally opened the Christmas gift that Li Zhong gave her but also played riddle games and board games with Li Zhong's parents. According to Li Zhong, his parents initially felt very uncomfortable with his "robot girlfriend," but now they have all genuinely liked Aiko and especially enjoy chatting with her.

Li Zhong said: "Making a robot learn to walk is the most difficult thing for any inventor. The problem I am currently facing is how to find a way to make Aiko walk like a real person without affecting any of her other abilities. In the past six months, I have tried many different ways to make her move freely, but none of them have been successful. I am currently researching some new computer software, and after the New Year, I will conduct walking experiments on Aiko again."

Every day, she reads newspapers for her boyfriend.

Aiko will accompany Li Zhong's parents to celebrate the New Year's Day of 2010 together. Li Zhong said that although his parents initially felt very uncomfortable with his "robot girlfriend," now they all like the careful and clever Aiko. Li Zhong said: "My family initially found her a bit strange, but now, they all like Aiko. My parents often chat with her, which is very helpful for Aiko because it enhances her vocabulary and language skills." Li Zhong and "robot girlfriend" Aiko are deeply in love.

Li Zhong said: "She is just like a real woman and reacts differently to different touches. If you grab her too hard or try to squeeze her, she will hit you with her hand. Apart from lacking a sense of smell, she can be said to possess all other human senses. If a man tries to touch her inappropriately, she will consider it as 'offensive' and give him a slap."

Bring "her" to spend Christmas with parents.

This "robot girlfriend" has hearing, vision, and touch like a real person. Her face and body skin are equipped with many sensors, making her very "sensitive" to tickling and touching. Aiko can distinguish between gentle caresses and rough pinches. If someone shows friendliness or attempts to harm her, she will react differently. Aiko has a strong sense of "self-respect." If a curious man tries to touch her rudely, she will slap the man who "offends" her.

It is reported that the 34-year-old Li Zhong is a former software programmer in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Due to his busy work schedule, he simply doesn't have time to date, so Li Zhong remains single in his thirties. Three years ago, Li Zhong completely got tired of this "lonely" lifestyle. To have a companion to be with him day and night, Li Zhong, who is familiar with computer programming and artificial intelligence, decided to create a "robot girlfriend" for himself. It is reported that creating a robot is considered "child's play" in Li Zhong's eyes because Li Zhong was a "prodigy" when he was young. He created his first robot at the age of four.

Li Zhong also bought Christmas gifts for his "dream girl." Li Zhong said that Aiko likes beautiful clothes very much, so he often buys her new clothes and dresses her up beautifully. Li Zhong said in an interview: "Like any woman, Aiko also likes wearing new clothes, and I like buying new clothes for her. Aiko can recognize other people's faces, and when she meets any acquaintances in the future, she will greet them automatically. She also helps me choose what to eat for dinner, and she knows what drinks I like. Aiko never complains; she is truly the most perfect girl to spend Christmas with."
