WELCOME.....This blog is for: 1) Chinese who want to improve their skills in English and 2) all others who want to share experiences they've had traveling in China.....I've been tutoring mainland students by computer for years.....They send emails weekly and I return edited versions......It's all free......In the process we've learned more about each other - our similarities, our differences.....So be brave and send a comment about the articles and photos you'll see here and then send some of your own.....Don't worry about the grammar; it can be smoothed out, and when the piece is ready, it'll be published right here. Hope to hear from you soon. (jgron_34209@yahoo.com) If, on the other hand, you'd like to Learn Chinese Online, click those three words. Mr G.

Re: A Garden of Friendship

I have read this story and others in the blog with great interest and appreciation. I am niether Chinese nor a traveler in China, but I am a reader, a writer, and a teacher of writing, and there is a simplicity and an honesty in these stories that I find deeply appealing. I'm also fascinated by the anonymity of the authors and the blog owner. Is this some aspect of Chinese culture, that people choose to remain anonymous? Is it something like the European cathedral builders--that the authors consider their work an ego-less gift to God or to the world? Is it a deep humility? Does it allow some kind of honesty that might not develop if the authors took responsibility for their work? I wonder if anyone cares to explain the choice of anonymity. Putting that aside, I am grateful to Mr. G for posting the stories, and I look forward to reading more of them. I will follow your practice and remain anonymous myself.
