talk in the airplane

Before the airplane landed in newark airport, I had a nice talk with the lady next seat. She's reading 'snow flower and the secret fan' and began to weep. I looked at her. She said sorry and explained the book moved her. It's a novel of the friendship of two chinese women who lived more than 100 years ago. After she knew i'm a chinese, she asked me whether the traditional women has a special language other than that of the men's. I thought she meant the difference between the handwriting. I found i was wrong after i checked the internet later. There did exist a special women language in a certain area and a certain era. it's consists of more than 2000 characters most of which can't be recognized and pronounced now.

The lady, whose name is Kelly and who's a salesgroup manager in siemens, and who's 44 and just coming back from a business trip, talked about interview questions (she gives a lot interviews). She said 'how' questions (behavor questions) are always more interesting than 'what' questions (tech questions). She also talked how to manage teamworks effectively. She's career-driven and also full of delicate emotions. I found her personality is very charming.
