Spaceships above Beijing

One morning in the hotel room this sound was heard from outside.
Seemed like a spaceship circling above Beijing.
A creepy sound, coming and going.
Screaming, high pitched and very scaring.

Later Zhang Xiaobei was asked what this peculiar sound was.
The police using some sophisticated monitoring device ?
Xiaobei pointed up in the sky where that very moment a flock of doves was doing their flying exercises.
He explained that people put small pieces of bamboo to the bodies of their doves that work like a flute.
When the doves fly, air passes through the small piece of bamboo and makes a sound.
It is a very particular and peculiar sound and makes living in the old town of Beijing very remarkable.

A sound that first puzzles.
Then irritates.
To become familiar and loved.

We have a new team member!
Teaching the worrying photographer to sit back and relax and have things taking care of by the Chinese friends and their sincerity.
Yan Zhang is an editor of the fascinating magazine VISION.
A bright and beautiful lady.



When visiting persons believing to be the most beautiful, one must realise that this is a really big thing for the participant.
Hence, rule one is to have 100 % respect.
To be there completely for the person.
It is absolutely not a routine exercise.
The candidates an ingredient for a project to market.
Each person is unique and having an important message to fully listen to.

Yan Zhang has this natural ability.
People feel relaxed with her.

This is also the case with the CCTV-team.
These two guys are there almost every visit to a most beautiful person.
And they integrate naturally.
Because they are respectful and real.

The message we heard today was from 39 years old Bai Li.
A factory worker making 500 Euros (730 $) a month.


She tells us:

I am trying my best in life and then I will feel no regret.
This makes me feel thankful to life.
And the most beautiful person in the world.
