These stories gave Su an idea for her own book. She decided to write it in English. "My English teacher asked us to write something," says Su. "I thought I'd write about my idea." Su spent a whole summer vacation writing the story. "Sometimes I had to stop because I couldn't find the right words," says Su. "I used the dictionary all the time." After finishing the English novel, Su had another idea. She decided to translate it into Chinese. The job took her just a few days. "It was easy because Chinese is my native language  ," she says. Su says her story is "a mixture of philosophy   and detective   story and science fiction". "My classmates and I have turned it into a DV play," says Su. "I wrote the play and I played April.
