Gentle Reader,
"... Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself."
-Chinese Proverb
Speaking of meeting special people in China, we were honored to meet up with none other than Junda Chen, my student from 5th hour AP Literature class!!! Junda is currently living in Beijing, exploring the music industry. He is a remarkably talented young man: singer, dancer, composer, writer, poet. We navigated the Beijing subway system for the first time to meet him for a delightful Peking Duck dinner. What a joy it was to meet Junda on his own stomping grounds and to share a meal and memories with him!!!! Thank you, Junda, for making us feel so welcome in Beijing!!!!
After dinner, Junda took us on an adventure exploring some of the street music life in Beijing. We saw everything from guys doing hip hop to middle aged couples twirling around to folk songs to Chinese line dancing. A rollicking good musical time with Junda!!!
Namaste,
Marianne/Bailing
