As an American in China, sometimes I find it hard to remember why I'm here or why I came, but the passion is there, underneath it all, and I understand John's experience. I also take it as a lesson - I've spent more time hiding in my apartment than seeking out local dumpling restaurants, and this served to remind me why I came to China in the first place. Oddly, John died the day after I was born, and I find that very strange and somewhat intriguing. This is a wonderful article.

This is really interesting. I've been interested too in the Americans that have been here before me. I'd love to read the Calvin Trillin article. "Fanshen" is another good story of an American who was in a rural village in China in the very early years of the revolution. Great article John! This is really interesting.
