Before a fifteen-day journey through Germany, Kefei tells his mother in Shanghai about the trip and recalls how her wish to keep him nearby led him to Tongji University. Studying German there unexpectedly opened a wider cultural horizon.
The journey marks thirty-five years since his move to America. A new format in English, Chinese, and German lets him share the route with readers and bring his mother along through his writing.
