Default three titles need editing

Part of members of Olympic delegation return home with honor

Eccentric rides shoe-bicycle around China at large

(shoe-bicycle: in text author will introduce that the weird man modified his bicycle like a shoe, and he has been riding on it to take a trip around the whole China to collect the shoes from 56 peoples in the nation, in order of "save the unique shoes-culture of China)

Jiangcheng's first man-made beauty appears

(Here "beauty" means "a beautiful woman", have you got at the first sight at the title?)

I especially appreciated the second title.

You know that Athens OG is ongoing yet. There are some Olympic delegates which return home with honor. The title "Olympic delegates return home with honor " seems to me, like that all delegates return home.

Jiangcheng is a city, while a "man-made beauty" means that the beauty originally was not pretty, even was ugly. With the help of plastic surgeons, she underwent some cosmetic surgeries and became especially pretty. In China, she is called a man-made beauty.

'delegates' is OK. It could mean all or some.

Jiangcheng reveals its true beauty

All the best, :D

My God, please take a look at the thread. I have noted that:

See my original title:

Jiangcheng's first man-made beauty appears

It means:

First man-made beautiful woman of Jiangcheng City appears

Ok, so, 'First man-made...woman' means, the first woman to undergo cosmetic surgery (in Jiangcheng City), right? Ok. I got it. :D

What about?

Cosmetically enhanced beauty: A first for Jiangcheng

All the best, :D

Default Hmm, I wonder

If the title could catch a reader's eye in no time? Because almost every woman today wants to enhance their beauty, for example, to recieve the simple surgery of double eye -- so they could all be called cosmetically enhanced beauty?
