At the age of 15, Miroslav Kolesar, a boy living in a small city in Slovakia named Kosice, had the good fortune to learn Chinese from a charming lady named Li Ping.
The first time he saw Li, he was deeply impressed. She was beautiful, elegant and different from the other people he knew in many ways.
It was destiny, he thought, since there was little chance for people in his home town to learn a foreign language, let alone to learn Chinese.
