A Chinese writer to find out more about Vietnamese youth

Chunqiu, a young Chinese writer, is going to participate in the International Book Fair scheduled in Ho Chi Minh next March and wishes to find out more about Vietnamese youths, favourite works by young Vietnamese writers and have exchanges with Vietnamese readers and writers.

Chunqiu shared that some Vietnamese films she had watched were very interesting. She even saw various films related to Vietnam, such as "The Lover" and "Norwegian Woods". However, she had not read any works by Vietnamese writers. Thus, she hoped to discover several young and new voices in Vietnam during her visit to Vietnam.

The Chinese writer, selected as a face representing Asia of 8X generation in 2004 by Time magazine, has toured Hanoi on Christmas Eve. About this visit, she confided that Vietnam was an ideal country to escape the cold weather in Beijing. Vietnam is the place where she would like to visit long time ago to enjoy warm and sunny weather and taste a cup of coffee.

The writer went to Vietnam by train to feel the simplest thing in life, such as seeing passengers or sceneries around, even just sitting down relaxing and doing nothing.

For her, Hanoi was warm, sunny with a lot of motorbikes, pedestrians and small nice shops. She would like to pay homage to Uncle Ho at his Mausoleum and buy some souvenirs for her friends and relatives. She gave a compliment on tasty but strong coffee in Hanoi.

During her stay in Vietnam until January 2 nd , 2012, she will visit Da Nang to enjoy nice beach and Ho Chi Minh City to discover historical stories in Continental Hotel where various famous reporters and writers used to stay.
