"There is no easy way to understand China... But the attempt is worth making, for China's story is an astonishing one and has much to teach us." - Jonathan D. Spence, The Search for Modern China.
I left Hong Kong and Chengdu with lots of memories of great experiences and great people and some fine students. I talked with another faculty member about how we could describe China to friends back home. We realized there was no way to put it all into words - the good and the bad. I do feel that I've just scratched the surface of a fascinating place and look forward to returning.
