Thank you both. We look forward to seeing you as well. As with all of China, I can only imagine the complete redevelopment of Zhengzhou since the beginning of the Reform and Opening Movement.
Fascinating! Paul and I are going to Luoyang and other ancient sites in October. He was born in Luoyang, although his family is not from there. I need to read more about ancient Chinese history! Can you recommend a book that summarizes it? You and Liana look so happy!
Thank you, Dori. You will visit before me. Can't wait to hear about your trip. If you want to get into the (interesting) weeds, I recommend China Between Empires by Mark Lewis. For culture and more, there is Xing Ruan's Confucius' Courtyard. And because of my interest in the Yungang Grottoes, I really enjoyed the in-depth analysis in Yungang: Art, History, Archaeology, Liturgy by Joy Lidu Yi. Have a fantastic journey to China in October. I will be hiking in Bhutan at the same time.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Great to be a witness the start of your latest journey.
Thank you, Ron. A wonderful journey indeed!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Hope to meet Your Bride, Liana next time around.
I visited Zhengzhou in 1983/4….Your piece on Henan brings back pleasant Memories.
Our Best Wishes to you Both!!
