Even just a little Chinese dish, or desert, making me feel Hungary, Yummy!! Chi, I am glad you had a wonderful visit there. The pictures are beautiful! I hope someday you can visit mainland China again, maybe with me to see big changes there too. Beijing is an international city now with all colors of people. My relatives are from the country, but they are doing so good these days. More and more people now own cars. Food are also amazing!! My friends also took me to fancy restaurants every time I go back.

It brought back memories of our visit there in 1989.Very exciting and interesting. But when we were there Taipai was crowded and dirty. Thank you,Chi, for your beautiful description of how it is now. I also appreciated you're feelings about returning to Tucson. After six weeks away,they resonated with me.

Chi tells of leaving China as a child just as the communists were taking over the country. Over sixty years later, China is still a country of few freedoms, while Taiwan has a vibrant economy and the freedoms that come with it--free speech, the equality of women, free trade and travel, property rights and individual rights... In describing her visit with her relatives, Chi shows how the capitalist economy brings a spirit of optimism to people and happiness. Quite an upbeat article, describing the history and geography of the country, and, between the lines, telling of an achieving and persevering people.

You had to leave Beijing to flee the Communists, and they are still here. However I understand there are cultural exchanges and talks. Perhaps China will be reunited someday. We are seeing another side of China now. No matter the governments, the culture of China is special. all the best, Bob Rogers<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('542','bob rogers'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('542','bob rogers','Chi,\r\nWonderful story of your return to Taiwan.
