I sent the letter via Facebook to comedian Des Bishop. I am posting a copy here, in the hopes that one of my (almost sort of) huge fan base, may have an ´in´with the aforementioned Mr. Bishop or, with Ms. Ruo Hong mentioned in the letter below.
Dear Des,
I am writing to ask if you can help me find my friend Xinyu in China
with whom I studied in Germany in 2009.
And for good romantic reason.
Seeing as you are world famous in China on matters of love and
marriage I am turning to you for help.
Could I ask that you call on all use your legions of contacts in high
places in China to connect with radio D.J. Ms. Ruo Hong?
Ms. Ruo Hong along with groom,
detective writer Mr. Zhao Yan, honeymooned in Ireland in 2012. So straight away we have a love connection
going on.
With the help of Ms. Catherine Whelan from the Irish Tourist Board, I tried
to connect with the well known radio personality in China. Clearly Ms. Whelan is not as powerfully
connected in China as I know you are!
I am trying to locate my young
Chinese friend Xinyu with whom I studied German in 2009 for, as I said, good
romantic reason.
Although she was young enough to be my grandchild, we became wonderful
friends in our shared aim of learning German here in Konstanz in Germany. That was back in
2008-9. I married later in life. And few were as happy for me
as the young Xinyu. At our wedding in
September 2009, she was a special guest.
At the end of 2009 she went back to
China and I have heard no more. I would LOVE to re-connect with her. And more, I would love through you, Ms. Hong
et al to send Xinyu a copy of our wedding album which we had made especially
for her. Herbert and I would very much
like her to have the wedding album.
I know Xinyu´s father was a fisher man.
I believe they lived on the coast of the Bohai Sea – which I know leaves
it a bit open.
So Des, you being the world famous ´man of romance’ in China...
YOUR MISSION
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT IS:
With the assistance of Radio D.J. Ms. Hong et al to
FIND XINYU so that I can send her a copy of our wedding album.
With hopeful anticipation,
Hausfrau Róisín.
P.S. I too have a Flushing connection; I came to live in Germany in 2008
after a 21 yr ´ stop over ´ in New York.
My first job in New York was working for a woman in Flushing, right near
the park. We are still in touch today!
P.S.2 . For blog readers to
want to see more of Des in action on the funny job, check out....

The picture on the left is a representation of an Alet being caught in a
fishing net. Allensbach comes from the name of the fish Alet and the German word for a stream Bach. Thus you have Allensbach. 
Winding down my morning walk after the rain; that little blob of red in the background is my bicycle bag on my bike. Will be cycling home soon to start the ´day job`.
