在这个房子里除了我和春雁，还有很多看不见的信息，像蜜蜂 (mifeng - bee) 一样，从电脑里飞进来，飞出去。还有我们心跳的声音。

春雁是小时候被美国的爸爸妈妈收养 (shouyang - to adopt) 的中国孩子。来中国找自己的根。除了我和春雁，还有沉鱼。沉鱼离婚 (li hun - to divorce) 了，有一个孩子，但她很快了，来上海找自己的梦想。我想帮她们，却发现我爱上了她们，她们好像也爱我。我跟春雁还去了沉鱼在山里的家。我们之间的故事有点复杂，但还是很有意思的。

Chenyu came to Shanghai in pursuit of her dream. She bears the burden of single motherhood at such a young age, and yet her smile never falters. Chunyan came serching for her roots, after growing up in America with adopted parents. I wanted to help them both, so off we went; first in Shanghai, then later to Chenyu's home in the mountains.

It  would all be much simpler if I hadn't fallen in love with them, and they with me. A bit convoluted, perhaps, but interesting stories and worthwhile relationships often are.
