China Tea Expo 2009…

Lochan是我的忘年交，印度的茶叶商人。其实，他不愿被人称为商人，好似在印度商人也带有点点儿贬义，也许“茶人”是更好的名字。他酷爱中国文化，特别是中国的茶文化；喜欢中国电影，特别是张艺谋的电影；喜爱中国的音乐，特别是民歌。虽然罗禅已经年近花甲，仍然可以只身一人从印度辗转来中国，来北京，仍然保持很年轻的心态。他结交了很多年轻的中国朋友，因为他觉得要理解一个国家，特别是这个国家的未来，了解这个国家的年轻人是最好的方式。

北京的茶博会，他是印度红茶的参展商，很久之前答应做他的翻译。五天里，我了解了一些茶的知识和茶的文化，也跟着Lochan认识了很多为复兴中国、乃至世界的茶文化而奔走忙碌的人。在翻译他的很多交谈，以及从他人口中得知，他的生意曾经是多么的困难，而他却非常的耐心等待着时机，等待着市场，等待着发展。一直很喜欢跟他交谈，因为他会用很简单的语言，很简单的方式让我理解一些道理，也会耐心的听我讲述；从他那里我看到淡定、平和和简单。

五天的茶博会在今天落下帷幕，晚上送Lochan乘火车去杭州。离开的时候，眼泪忍不住落下，我是永远不愿生活发生变化.

Festival of lights…
