Chapter 12: About Our First Trip


    Looking back, Ive traveled to many ces, from Shandong, Hainan, Shaanxi, the Northeast, and now northwestern China. Ive gone non-stop the whole way, and seldom had time to stop and appreciate the customs of these ces.


    But Im gratified that I took a lot of photos and drew a lot of sketches along the way. Now it seems that some of them can still describe how I felt when I saw these ces.
