Dear Francisco,
I know your email from The New Yorker magazine. You are a great American writer and I am a Chinese reader. It is the first time that I looked through The New Yorker website. I am a Chinese journalist and I live in China now. I like American literature very much. Frankly speaking, I dont know about you at all, because I have never read your articles until last weekend. I saw an advertisement in the magazine that you would send your books freely (免费地) to your readers. I know the quantity is limited. I also have a dream that I want to write something for The New Yorker. You often write for The New Yorker, dont you? I like writing in English very much, and I believe I can go ahead further if I try to practice more.
I want to read your book This Is Our City. Maybe your book will lead me to a new writing area, because I might learn some writing skills from you. If you post a book to me, it would be much appreciated. I dont know how far my writing will go. But I will never give it up. I will write some articles for The New Yorker, too. Maybe something like travelling journal in China. I want to introduce Chinese culture into the west. I know The New Yorker is a high quality magazine. Perhaps your encouragement (鼓励) will push me go ahead.
If you agree to send me your book, I will inform you my Chinese address in details. Thanks a lot. Best wishes to you and your family. Im looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Yours friendly,
Sam

Nanmans poem collection Water was published in May, 2014 by Lijiang Publishing Press. When I received this thick book, I was shocked by its philosophic and beautiful words. His poems are commonly simple and pure, just like talking and repeating on his journey to life.
I think our life is a good poem. Every day is a fantastic rhythm (韵律). Who odes (歌颂) to our daily life? Nanman does!He put his feeling and thinking on the piano keys, just like playing and singing a life song with simple music.
“Simple is a main topic of philosophy (哲学),” I remember I have said to Nanman, my best friend, a best writer as well. Yes, I agree water is our life. Because we start from water, develop from water and survive (生存) from water.
Nanmans poetry is interested in daily life style. He observes keenly but says very little. From his collection, we can see cultures, dialects, seasons, human beings, loves, environment, etc. Nanman is a true man who loves life deeply.
There is no doubt that the most obvious outstanding of his poems is to make the most complex and profound (深刻的) philosophy problems the easiest in daily life. As we all know, in old China there was a famous poet named Libai whose poems are easy to understand. Nowadays, there is another contemporary (当代的) poet named Nanman who writes colloquial (口语体的) poems which make readers purified in mind.
Nanman is a contemporary 26

Two men were sitting together in a plane. They were on a long journey. (36) 其中的一个人是商人,另一个人是农夫。 They sat without talking for a while. Then the farmer said, “Lets do something to pass the time.”
“(37) What do you want to do?” the businessman asked.
“We can ask each other riddles (谜语),” the farmer said.
“Okay. Lets make the rules first,” the businessman said, “If you dont know the answer to a riddle, you will pay me $100. (38) 如果我不知道答案,我会付你$100。”
“Thats unfair. You are a businessman with much knowledge. You know more things than I do. I am just a farmer,” the farmer said.

“If you dont know the answer to a riddle, you will pay me $100. And if I dont know the answer, I will pay you $50,” the farmer said. (39) The businessman thought for a while and then agreed, “Okay. Thats fair. Who will go first?”
“I will,” the farmer said, “Here is my riddle. What has three legs when it walks, but only two legs when it flies?” the businessman thought for a long time and said, “Mm, thats a good one. (40) 我恐怕不知道答案。” He gave the farmer $100, and then he said, “Tell me the answer.”
“I dont know, either,” the farmer said and he gave the businessman $50.
