Baimafeima, un cuento chino
The document summarizes a memorable 36-hour train ride the author took from Xi'an to Kunming in China. They struck up a dialogue with their lone cabin mate, a Chinese man, which became an unforgettable experience despite the language barrier. The author reflects on learning Mandarin Chinese, with its limited syllables but multiple meanings based on four tones. They include a brief example of a Chinese tongue twister and its phonetic transcription and meaning in Mandarin.
