我好奇地問她:收入這麼少，妳為什麼還要留在北京？怎麼不回臺灣？
她眼神中有種堅定的光采:在這親身經歷的政治氛圍，是無法從閱讀任何書章體驗到的，我心懷大陸，要解救大陸同胞們！
她還是沒變的很愛夾雜幾句玩笑話。
她說她曾在豆瓣網上發表一篇名為"誰忍心責怪一個嫁錯男人的家暴婦女"，她相當小心(其實是刻意)地用字，避免任何執行"河蟹"的人使用關鍵字搜尋就能隨即刪除她的文章，讓全文看起來只是一篇探討男女關係的普通文章。隨即一堆人跟帖，並多以一些政治事件或口吻回應她的文章。不出幾個小時，她的文章和跟帖就消失在網站上了。
她笑說:我懷疑站長暗戀我，老是察看我在網路上的發言！
我隨口回說:好在你是文章消失，不是人莫名其妙地消失！
我相當喜歡她以動粗用刑的男人和家暴婦女比喻大陸國家與人民的關係，很絕妙。不過我一直認為如果以為自身在絕對自由的國度，而奮力批判大陸的獨裁專制，會比被家暴的婦女更昏昧，因為那只是設想他人處在地獄，以對照自身在天堂。當新聞報導取向越來越地方化和綜藝化時，人的視野並不會比被管制的區域大多少。
