A light sigh



My book has got the very first order from Germany. Or say, the second one, if the request from the guy, whom we met in an IT party, could be counted as the first order. But that was too long ago. 3 months or even longer from now. That guy showed a peculiar interest, for that he was speaking with a Chinese writer in person, while he has got a niece studying in Beijing. He was considering to give my book as the birthday present to her. Nevertheless, we got the girl's name lost. Which means, the book is not sent yet.
The order that I am speaking about now, is from a Chinese-book agent. I have heard of his name in the book fair in Frankfurt, not long ago, and sent him a sample-book together with some short commentary about the book, on Wednesday this week. Today, the books which he ordered are already on the way to his shop. Nearly at the same time when we received this order, the book is also appeared on the page of the 'Buchhandel.de'.
The fact that we have finally stepped into the market officially, no matter how hesitate and confused in my inner heart, brings me the feeling of some faint excitement. It is too complicated to be described, because it is mixed with joy, sorrow, helplessness, worry, hope, even appealing to God's blessing...
