Yes, the Chinese are as if they had just awakened from a long sleep. They are laughing in the sun, the streets are clean, the houses friendly and inviting. We never eat at our apartment but at a different place every night, and the people are always disarmingly kind and open-hearted. One of these days Zhongguo will be a great country.
