One night, a chance encounter with a cat near Fudan led me to meet a wonderful new friend, Carla, a German teacher at the university.

Tonight, she invited me to a German literature reading at the Austrian Centre, featuring author Urs Luger and his stories about “Heimat und Fremde” — Home and the Foreign.

Even though I don’t speak German, the live Chinese translation made every word feel close and clear.

The stories, the discussions, the quiet magic of being in a room where language wasn’t a barrier, but just a bridge to shared feeling.
Tonight was proof that literature truly has no borders — it’s just the human heart, reaching across words and worlds. What a beautiful, unexpected gift of an evening.

And from now on, I have a new nick name, the Cat girl, for one reason I always running into cute cat, for another, I wrote a book telling stories happened between a girl （小白）and a cat(咖啡）. http://t.cn/RJZkLq8
