Hi Bill, it's nice to be back.

The trip was a tiring yet content and joyful one. I visited quite a few cities, big and small, reached the countryside, where my born place is in, and met most of my family and relatives and a few close friends. I also experienced the weather change from snowy winter in Beijing to hot summer (29 degree C) in Wuhan, tasted the sand dust storm (沙尘暴)，besides the various types of delicious Chinese foods, modernized and traditional.

在故乡，第一次深深理解了古人的感慨：

少小离家老大归
乡音无改鬓毛衰。
儿童相见不相识，
笑问客从何处来。

Happy Easter!
