Wei is the kind of woman who is significantly more striking in person. She has quick eyes and high cheekbones that lengthen as she speaks. You would know she is petite even in photographs, but the extent of this cannot be understood until you have other things nearby to put Wei in perspective.Wei's passion is tai chi, even though she left Beijing for Barcelona when she was eight. Still, somehow, something of the old country remains. Wei says she is not sure why but tai chi is starting to become de moda in Barcelona these days. She can not complain, she says.
Still, Wei works as a waitress. I meet her at a hotel bar with Andrea and Marielle. We see her first as a stylish woman behind a large tray of martinis. We strike up a conversation with her, first about olives. Later, she gives us a card and tells us about her other life.
