Did we meet five hundred years ago?

Sometimes, I make friends with strangers. Yeah, I know it can be dangerous, but I haven't done myself any harm so far.

Yesterday morning, all (breakfast) tables were taken at Beida Global Village Building No. 9, where I stay for my first official visit to Beida. I carefully checked a few tables, and decided to "invade" one with a middle aged woman. "May I share this table with you?" She said yes.

I can't remember how we started to talk. Soon, we started to talk about things that could go on forever: Chinese youth's future, food safety, air quality, ground-water quality, and politics. She is a couple of years younger than I, and also has a son. I was so pleased to meet a person who has so different experiences as I but so much in common with me.

QH, I wish we could meet again, perhaps in Guangzhou next time.
