Once i lend the book to a local Chinese antique store owner, a Taiwanese couple. They were most surprised about the story. So the book took a tour among all her relatives. She gave me a nice antique bookmark when she finally mailed the book back to me after a year or so when i asked her about it. I believe she really wish i could have forgotten all about the book. i wish i could have forgotten about it too. If so, her antique furniture store might have become a rare bookstore. who knows?
