Hard Seat from Shenzhen to Shenyang
by Alice Giusto
Xiao Jiu is a nice man. Every morning he wears those funny dark blue ear covers that make him look like a pixie. And then he smiles to people. Oh my God, he has such an infectious, overwhelming smile. It seeps deep into your bones and you cannot forget his smile. It gives you that kind of energy that starts your day on the right foot, your hard working day in Shenzhen at 7.30 a.m.
I know this because I am part of him. We are close to each other. We never separate. Or this is what I once thought.
