China Is More Prosperous Than Before. The People Have Better Lives But They Are Not Happy And Confident Because The Scars Are Still There.

If You Have Love, Even Plain Cold Water Is Sweet.

When A Man Gets Power, Even His Chickens And Dogs Rise To Heaven.

I Remember When My Mother Pointed To A Stone, And She Said This Was The Kind Of Stone People Used To Place On The Feet Of The Baby Girls To Stop Them Trying To Climb Away And Unbind Their Feet.
