Propaganda

All over town the Communist Party puts up posters encouraging loyalty to the 党 (the Party).
This translates to: "Sing folk songs to the Party"

Coming home

10 months have gone by so fast, and we feel so fortunate to have had this experience together as a family. We say goodbye to Beijing and its smog, unsafe food, the Great Firewall, and pervasive sewer smells, but also to its wonderful citizens, great schools, the amazing public transport system of subways and buslines, jianbing and jiaozi, popsicles on every street corner, the Great Wall and Summer Palaces.
It's been an amazing time of learning, making new friends, seeing wondrous sites and eating new spicy and also not so spicy foods.
Thank you China and we hope you find a way forward to care for your people, respect their voices, and make their dreams your Chinese dream.
