I’m carrying Hasse around in Nantong (南通), in the historical block surrounded by the Haohe River (濠河) — while Eva in the hospital visits a sick relative. Hasse, being a seven month old baby, is a true 显眼包 (eye-catcher), so dozens of bypassers turn their head or want to touch her (which I quickly have to reject). But everyone is busy, on the way to somewhere, selling sweet potatos, waiting for a taxi, carrying flowers, or walking the dog. Except for a popular alley (网红街), full of fancy coffee places and young students (Nantong University is nearby).
