"I work in this library as a security officer for several years." May I ask what is your favorite book? "I don't read books." --- met him in Pudong Library, Shanghai [ CHINA ]

I met a family in a tiny village called Chenli in Zhejiang, where everyone is called "Chen". When they heard that I want to cross the mountain behind their village, they refused to let me do so. Instead they invited me to stay the night over in their home, prepared a dinner and drove me around the mountain to the spot from where I wanted to continue the hike over Dongbaishan (东白山). They also gave me a big bag of their own home produced tea. Thank You for your amazing hospitality ! --- 在浙江一个叫陈栎的小村里我认识了一家人,这个村里的人都姓陈。他们听说我想穿过他们村后面的山,不让我这样做。相反,他们准备了晚餐，邀请我在他们家过夜,。第二天他们开车载我环绕这座东白。他们还给了我一包自产的茶叶，我现在正在喝。 --- hosted and showed me around Chenli, Zhejiang [CHINA]

"I really like avant-garde and innovations in fashion, but at the same time I am also fascinated by traditional culture. I mean, I am into steampunk, but I also like to participate in different activities which promote renaissance in Chinese clothing." "Anyway, I feel like I am a total complex of different contradictions. I hope one day I can finally find the balance between classical and avant-garde and at the same time promote 'Chinese fashion'. Perhaps the next time when we meet you won't recognize me, because I will be wearing traditional Han Chinese clothes, which are a completely different in style." --- "我很喜欢前卫时尚，创新突破，却又对中国传统文化深深着迷。既喜欢蒸汽朋克，也参加汉服复兴活动。" "总之就是矛盾的综合体。希望有一天能在古典和前卫之间找到平衡点，能够把“中国范儿”的时尚推广出去。也许下次遇到我你会认不出来，因为我会穿着汉服（中国汉族的传统服饰），是完全不一样的造型。" --- met her near Laoximen, Shanghai [ CHINA ]
