Yesterday I went to get a parcel at the post office. I thought it was shoes or books I had ordered.

It was books. It was Linnea’s favorite books. 10 of them. In the Chinese edition! And I didn’t understand a thing!

Well I had googled for Lassemaja’s Detektivbyrå by Martin Widmark translated into Chinese to give Li one of them.

What I found was a Swedish-Chinese organisation in Beijing selling some of them in their store…. in Beijing!!

Also I found an article from 2012 saying Martin Widmark and his publisher went to China to get the books translated.

Well I found a Facebook page for the books and asked there if they knew what had happened since 2012?

I got an email address to write to since they didn’t know!

I wrote about Linnea and Li and got the answer that they forwarded my email to a guy (Ludvig) who knew more!

Ludvig send me a link to the Chinese publisher’s homepage but I couldn’t find the books there, and I thought I might get time to look in Nanning.

In the parcel there was a note from Ludvig, sending his regards to Linnea and Li, and wishing us a nice trip!

What a surprise! What an amazing guy doing this for us, and for two girls he doesn’t know.

I have now promised him a photo of Li and Linnea when we give Li the books. What a gift! Thank you so much!
