This campus, like many college campuses these days, is located several miles away from the city center. The old urban locations don't allow room for expansion, and in China, expansion is the key word for all institutions.

GuangYuan Normal School site of program
GuangYuan Normal School site of program

A 'normal school' is a five-year teacher training school. After graduation, students can get a job teaching in primary school or maybe rural junior high,or if they pass the exam, they may enter a four-year college to get a Bachelors Degree. My students in Nanjing all come from Jiangsu Province normal schools.


The students are English teachers

The main method of teaching for SEP is to provide interesting activities through which the students will enjoy speaking English. Two main purposes of the program are to instill confidence in using English in their classrooms (you know, you can teach and study a foreign language without speaking it; I did quite well in Spanish in college, but unfortunately, did not apply myself to speaking the language, which I later regretted), and to model teaching techniques that the participants can use in their own classrooms.

The only sightseeing I had time for was to visit this temple commemorating the reign of Wu Zetian, China's only female emperor, in the Tang Dynasty, who was born in this area. The temple complex goes back 1,500 years'

Hi Lynn! Cindy and I think of you often. We are both retired now and spend much of our time in the mountain cabin you visited in its final construction stage. Hope you are well. Say "Hello" to Rosie for us. Archie and Cindy

Bai Dacheng is the last living artist to practice this art of making "dancing" figures of Peking Opera stories. The figures can be made to "dance" by tapping a baton on the edge of a brass plate. The movement is caused by a row of bristles glued to the bottom of the figures.

Tape the edge of the pan with the baton and the figures will "dance" because of short bristles glued around the bottom edges.

It snowed in Nanjing on November 16, from midnight throughout the day; some said this was the earliest snow in two decades.

Bai Dacheng is the last living artist who creates these small figures representing Peking Opera stories. The figures rest on a row of bristles, at least originally, hog bristles.

By tapping on the edge of a brass plate with the baton, the figures can be made to "dance." Mr. Bai lives in a traditional Beijing home not far from the Forbidden City.

1. A fairly common feature of Chinese parks with recreational lakes are these large bubbles in which children or young people like to 'walk' across the water. How they get in and how they breathe, I don't know, but it looks like fun.

2. Walking across a parking lot one day, I saw this young man creating a drawing of a mountain lion in the dirt on the rear window of this vehicle. Whether the vehicle was his, or just a convenient surface for his art, I don't know.

3. and 4. I was walking through a new mall in Shanghai one day this spring and noticed a new Dunkin Donuts shop and a few yards away, I saw this ad for Weight Watchers. Think there's a connection, hmmm?

5. In Chengdu, Sichuan, recently, I toured a historical street. I ran across this man waiting for a customer to pull in his old-fashioned rickshaw, while talking on his cell phone.
