Reflections, Love until Death

From Italy:

Huang Mei's book talks about the great strength of an independent woman

in a very intense and comprehensible manner. She faced two of the biggest challenges

that life has to offer: disease and the responsibility of motherhood.

Paola Del Vescovo, artist and professor at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napo

From France:

Huang Mei is not hiding any more. She shares her raw pain and her love for life

with her readers. At her side, we sail off across an unquiet and unknown sea.

We row between inner darkness and the wonderful discovery of art.

Juliette Montier, artist from France

From Greece:

Living in another country, getting cancer and beating it, getting through the process of

divorce and raising a child is not easy!

Amongst other functions, art also always has the function of trauma recovery.

Mei's literature gave her the second life she desperately needed, filled with the positive

energy to continue it, filled with meaning.

Floros Floridis, one of the founders of free jazz in Greece and interdisciplinary artist

From Switzerland:

We know Mei as an extraordinary personality, always surrounded by an aura of

elegance and with a great sensitivity for art, for which her passion and sparkling

intelligence allow her to give other people an understanding. In this book, one

learns about her eventful life story that captivates and touches in equal measures,

and that gives hope that even the worst blows of fate can be overcome.

Pi-Chin Chien (cellist) & Fabian M¼ller (composer)

From Germany:

In colourful and poetic images the author describes the stations of her journey,

the way from victimhood to an active, imaginative life. The book helps to

understand that the strength to survive is within us, and that art can be one of

the answers to the complex questions of existence.

Mei Huang's strength and will to live is an example of female, true

emancipation.

Jeanine Meerapfel, filmmaker

A deeply touching book that shows us how vulnerable we are, both in body and

in mind. However, it also shows how strong we can be when we fight. It has a

special value through its authenticity. It demands an attentive reader to recognise

its depth. It is not an ordinary book.

Dieter and Margret, married dance partners from Berlin, researchers at a German science institution

Mei, with the image of life as a river, that with its perpetual motion continually

brings changes, with the new choices to embrace or to simply accept. Your book

has touched me deeply. What a great strength that leads you unwavering to

new realisations about freedom.

"In all beginnings dwells a magic force, for guarding us and helping us to live."

{H. Hesse; translation by Richard and Clara Winston}

Sonja Merz, conductor of the Accordian Orchestra Euphonia

An eventful biography of a woman with a strong soul and love for music, who

does not give in to destiny.

Just at the beginning of her career she receives a blow of fate that would bring

the strongest to their knees; stage-four cancer!

A book that allows an unusually deep look into the soul of Mei Huang, a woman

whom I admire. Many people of all ages owe wonderful and formative experiences

to her open-mindedness, inventiveness and creativity. I count myself

lucky that our paths crossed.

Hedy Stark-Fussnegger: Vice president of the German Accordion Association

From Australia;

Irrespective of the language, Mei's words touch us all. As will her fortitude. This

brave and creative woman has a great capacity to understand human nature

and place it in words on a page, from which we can all grow.

Pat Grayson, author of 9 books.
