  • Lumina season one completed

    Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009 3:58PM / Members only

    I hope everybody was following the new webseries Lumina with Michael Chan, an official artist here on AnD! After nine episodes season one is completed and leaves us waiting in anticipation for season two because the whole story turned really mysterical and leaves us with an open ending. On Michaels profile you can find the whole re-cap of season one!

    Go and watch!
  • international book fair with honoured guest China

    Sunday, Oct 18, 2009 5:30PM / Members only

    This year was the first time since schooltime I joined some events around and also visited the book fair. This fair takes place every year and shows around 400.000 new and old books and all kinds of things around them. There was quite a hype about it this year because the honoured guest this year is China. A chinese friend convinced me to join the reading and discussion of the book "concubine of Shanghai" by Hong Ying on Tuesday evening, a very impressive yet humble person. Unfortunetaly the moderator (Mr. Michel Friedmann) wanted to make a political discussion out of it, which she and Mr. Juergen Trittin avoided with a lot of diplomatic answers. It was interesting to hear about the latest development on the publishing market and the astonishing flexibility in it.



    the english book cover


    the german bookcover which I really like

    On Wednesday afternoon I joined a friend for a while who showed me around and also organised a pocket dictionary geman-chinese/chinese-german for me. Later that day I met up with another chinese friend, who accompanied some friends who wrote many german-chinese books like:



    (what Chinese think about Germans)

    I got this book as a birthday gift and took the opportunity to get a personal dedication. We spend some time together on the fair and then left alltogether to their hotel where they discussed plans for the night but decided to go seperate ways. So my friend took me back to the city and we joined another friend for a literature night in the Roemer which was pretty crowded so we had to fight for a seat in an adjacent hall with big displays. We also had a snack there. On this event they planned to present several authors and their latest books. After the first author, who was Herta Mueller, the nobel prize winner in literature this year, I decided to leave because I was really tired. She wrote about a chapter of the aftermaths of the second world war I heard about the first time: The Russians deported people of the german minority in romania to the southern ukraine for forced labour. A very cruel time and she wrote it in a very intense way.



    (no english translation available yet)

    On Thursday evening I joined a reading and autograph session of the young authour Aner Cui , who wrote a phantasy book about the ancient legend of the foundation of China, called "Dragon Totem". Despite his young age (born in 1985) he is a very literate person and won the highly reknown "Wolfgang-Holbein-Preis China" in 2008. Though it is a book for teenagers I sure gonna buy it sooner or later just to learn more about this ancient legend and the difference of recognition of dragons in the chinese tradition.

    (not published in english yet)

    On Saturday afternoon I joined two readings of chinese authors at the university. The first was the author A Lai, born in western sechuan and belonging to a tibetian tribe there. He presented his book "Roter Mohn" (english title: red poppies) and I was fascinated by his words. It is a story about a descendant of a tibetian noble man, describing the downturn of the tibetian society. He wrote several books about this topic.



    Whilst he was accomanied by two bodyguards, the next author came on her own, only accompanied by her translator. It was Anne Baby, a very popular author from Shanghai. She presented her book "A journey through time". Her books are more introvert but also very interesting and of a stunning beauty in words. Unfortunenately her books are not published in english and german yet. But a lot of chinese fans came to this reading as well and formed a small crowd to get an autograph from her.

    China also offered a daily show of Bejing Opera and a wushu show of the chinese school for sports in a hall on the fair. On Saturday evening they did an extra show in a big hall in Frankfurt, which was sold out and pretty crowded because more people came in as tickets were sold. Several chinese companies reserved a lot of seats. I joined it together with a chinese friend. I do not like these high pitched voices and the music but they showed two famous fight scenes out of classic operas. One was the fight scene in the dark in the hostel out of "General Wang" and the other one "the monkey king makes trouble in heaven" of ouf the journey to the west. The actors obviously had a profound education in martial arts and did a great performance. All in All a great evening.

    (original entry from the 2009-10-09)
    I am not sure which font to choose for my company logo. I am going to start in event management, but the font should represent myself  - maybe I need it for different things later on...
    So I am looking forward to your suggestions

    font 1


    font 2


    font 3


    font 4


    "desime" stands for "孟思琪的德国公司" (meng si qi de de guo gong si = german company of meng si qi - my chinese name)
