Second landing in the Middle State

One day, my luggage came back to Khabarovsk. And I was finally able to enter in China again, this time to the honorable town Harbin, one hour away from Khabarosk. The plane left at about 7 pm, I almost spat on the ground on my way to the plane swearing myself never to have deals with Russians again.

But when I arrived to Harbin it was really dark there, so many Chinese with rucksacks, luggage, pushing you rudely and ruthlessly, there was kind of an airport but all was so confusing you would not tell. I felt so lonely, so afraid….. What to do? Where to go?

Yeah! To the Russians. Yes, to the Russians. I went to them like a dog asking what to do? where to go? Then it was fun again. They led me to a hotel nearby very similar to my childhood boarding school, with so many beds in the same room. I am not joking, probably 50 or 100 beds per room. But my Russian friends asked for better rooms. And we got them, now just double rooms. Then we had dinner, we relaxed and we were all happy.

Early morning next day, however, everyone had dissapeared.

China from Berlin

I started to study Chinese at the Technishe Universität Berlin, TUB, in 1988. I had a Chinese girlfriend there. I met her right after she arrived from Guangdong during Chinese New Year 1989. I invited her to dance in a Chinese New Year event organized by Chinese students in Berlin. She was very pretty and the Chinese students would kick me when dancing with her.

We started to meet; everybody would say we were a nice couple. I had a funny relationship with her because I was a fully spiritual person then but one night she came for a rock concert close to my place, the rock concert was something really shocking for her and too exciting for both of us, she wanted to leave, it was heavily snowing that night and I invited her to stay in my place…

It is too difficult to tell what happened after, sorry about it – I cannot publish it in this blog, though it would really give you an insight about China….

We experienced together all the activities in Berlin against the Chinese government for the Tiananmen events…

At the end of 1989 I moved to London. She wanted to come over in 1990 but she did not manage. I met her last time in Berlin on feb. 1991 on my way to Moscow. She invited me to a Chinese party there and return me back some money I had paid for her in London.
