At school, the teacher guided the students to start reading "Romeo and Juliet".
Milan: "Actually, Romeo and Juliet are just characters in Shakespeare's book. They don't exist."
Alice: "It doesn't matter, what matters is that there is something in the world that can transcend time and space and travel through the human heart, and that something is ...... love."
......
In addition to talking to Alice on weekends, Milan also tried to talk to her own parents. Her mother also told her Chinese love stories - Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden. Milan found out that love, although beautiful, sometimes comes with regrets. Dad told Milan, "The feeling of being truly in love is actually very short-lived. And a family living together in harmony and taking up a responsibility for each other is for life."
The wise Alice further guides Milan to understand the secret of marriage, and it turns out that a happy life is something that both parties have to maintain together in order to live together for a long time.

Cheng Wei is a famous Chinese writer who lived in Germany. When she was in middle school, she began to publish children's literature, and in her twenties she was hailed as "one of the talented children's literature writers" of her time. Her middle-grade novel "Children from a Foreign Country" and her full-length novel "The Red Hair Card of a Young Girl" won the 1st and 2nd National Outstanding Children's Literature Awards, respectively. The work "The Turtle Teacher 1: The Beach in the Campus" won the 2018 Chen Bochui International Children's Literature Award for Book (Text) of the Year.
After settling in Germany, Cheng Wei became a producer for German TV2, filming Chinese cultural documentaries on subjects such as Qin Shi Huang(the First Emperor of Qin), Marco Polo, the Silk Road, Confucius and the Beijing Olympics, and doing a lot of work for cultural exchange between China and Germany. With years of experience in children's literature and a deep and unique understanding of Eastern and Western cultures, she always believes that "excellent children's literature should be the warm and strong hand that pulls children from the arms of their parents to the wide world".
