Huber returned to Germany in this September. But he still keeps in touch with Liu Yihe. “Not long before we talked about Nanjing’s application for 2014 Youth Olympic Game on telephone. All my classmates want to do our job to the event.” After Liu Yihe’s discussion with Huber, they decided to launch a signing activity in Germany. Huber specially made a banner of 10 meters, on which it was wrote by Chinese and German respectively “Supporting Nanjing to Apply to the 2014 Youth Olympic Game”, and beside these words there were the national flags of China and Germany.
Mayor of G ttingen has been to Nanjing before. On December 25, the kids sent an email to the mayor of D ttinggen.
Four days later, secretary of the mayor of G ttingen replied that they would contact Huber and they were glad to sign their names on the banner.
Mayor of G ttingen talked with Huber for over 2 hours after he signed his name. All their topics are about Nanjing. Huber said proudly that now everybody known him and is coming to see him all call him “Mr. Nanjing”.
Now the 10-meter-banner was almost full of signature. It will be send back from Germany in 20 days.(Nanjing Daily) |
