From April 3 to 6, Hannah Getachew came to Nanjing again with more than 100 
representatives from 85 countries for the 3rd Youth Forum on Creativity and 
Heritage along the Silk Road. This time, she had more time to experience the 
literary beauty of this oriental "City of Bibliophilia".

Last year, the reply from President Xi made Hannah famous in China. At that 
time, Hannah Getachew, who was studying the master's degree of international 
law at Peking University, participated in the 2nd Youth Forum on Creativity and 
Heritage along the Silk Road. In Nanjing, she wrote a letter to President Xi 
with her Chinese name "Wu Hanna".

Hannah said that she wrote to President Xi because she was "infected by the 
atmosphere of the city, the enthusiasm of the youth representatives and their 
desire for international exchanges".

Hannah said that she could receive a reply and would like to thank Nanjing for 
her beautiful stationery. The letter paper to President Xi was a gift that she 
had gained during her participation in the forum in Nanjing -- a stationery 
designed with the paintings of Nanjing "Shizhuzhai Art Design". "I choose this 
stationery because it has a long history with its city. I will remember the 
beautiful memories in Nanjing when I see these beautiful patterns."

Hannah used three words to describe Nanjing -- ancient, literary and creative. 
"What I am most impressed is Nanjing's enthusiasm for literature." Hannah told 
reporters, "We have experienced a strong literary atmosphere in the Librairie 
Avant-Garde and the Nanjing Library."

"Literature may become the greatest cooperation area with the development 
prospect for Nanjing and Ethiopia in the future," Hannah said, "The Ethiopian 
writer's group has grown rapidly. I think both sides should enhance literary 
exchanges. I am happy to make my own efforts to play a role in the exchange of 
literary and cultural exchanges."
