慢遞員子娴更新:在Mano Cafe交件完成
COURIER ZZ UPDATE:Successfully received at Mano Cafe
I met with ZZ on March 5th at Cafe Mano. That day just happened to be the first anniversary of my moving to Berlin, and ZZ was saying her final goodbyes as she was moving back to Taiwan after seven years in Germany. ZZ said she had always wanted to go to this cafe, which was recommended by a friend, but had never been able to. It's right next to where I used to live and where I used to meet my friends when I first came to Berlin, and on the 5th of March right before international Women's Day, it was where I was busy with partners from the Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan writing a collective open letter from Chinese queers and feminists in support of Palestine. ZZ had originally asked me to meet her at 2pm, but since I had a meeting with the March 8 group on Zoom at 2pm, I had to postpone it until 3pm. I arrived at Cafe Mano at 2 only to find out that due to the time zone difference with UTC+08, I got the meeting time was wrong and had missed it. I sent a message to ZZ telling her to come earlier. As I waited, I saw a Chinese girl walk in. This place has a hippie vibe in bohemian neighbourhood of Berlin, and Chinese people are not commonly seen here. Seeing her looking around for someone, I thought of course it must be ZZ so walked over to her, only to be embarrassed that I was mistaken. At three o'clock ZZ arrived and she handed over the books. We chatted for two hours, shared our frustrations about Germany, and then said goodbye at this small crossroads of both of our lives.

慢遞員易拎和大雨相聽完在AAA的某著名藝術家組合的講座,散會後的茫茫人海和密集社交中並未在一開始捕獲收件人。兩人離開亞洲藝術文獻庫在附近小巷進食時巧遇收件人優雅走過,欣喜地移交了緩件並彼此擁抱。慢遞員大雨相事後想起,人潮中曾與收件人對過眼神,遞上微笑。
After listening to a lecture from a famous art collective, couriers PORTABLE and lß in hopes of seeing the RECEIVER who is affiliated with the venue, they follow through with post-activity socialising but fail to make the delivery; now hungry, they leave the institution and stop for lunch in a nearby alleyway, whereupon the RECEIVER walks elegantly right past them; while PORTABLE's eyes had not been so keen upstairs, lß remembers having met eyes with the RECEIVER during the event without realising she was the correct recipient of HQL-586; smiles and hugs are exchanged, delivery successful

慢遞員野人驚詫回覆:「是誰的魔法吧」
RECEIVER REVIEW:^^What a happy experience! It's amazing one person can connect to another and share experiences with one another! I'm so happy!
COURIER SURPRISED SAVAGE REPLY:What magic this is
I receive a little card and gift of purple taro cakes from C. He happily finishes them before realising that maybe they were intended to share with other Display Distribute colleagues, and he is a bit embarrassed...... The very touching message on the card reads: "The world is bound by friendship".
We sat down and chatted together. Although it was the first time we met, we got along naturally. RECEIVER C, gave full trust to me, courier SS, sharing her feelings, thoughts, and actions about her time in high school and being shocked by the news about the "Xuzhou Chained Woman" incident. This instantly brought SS back 34 years, when he was 18 and had seen one brutal and tragic news incident on TV. It was at the cusp of spring and summer, and he was a lost young man then, of similar age and experience to C before him now. So much empathy... It was as if something magical was triggered, and carefully sealed incidents of 34 years ago—wounds buried deep in his heart, doubt, questions, pain, trembling, and loneliness—were today, after hanging in suspense for so long, finally heard.
On the way back to the metro station, I saw a girl of almost the same age as C wearing a shirt with the words "Dead Inside" on her back; she was smiling while playing games on her phone, walking around while waiting for the train. She boards the car, and later gets off at her stop without a pause, completely immersed in her own closed world as if there were no one else around her. What C and I had talked about earlier, and what she chooses to do, are completely the opposite: to have heart and compassion towards the people around her, and to always look at her surroundings. She is always reaching out around her, trying to make things better.
