I came to the United States as a graduate student in late 1980s with my broken English and $100 in pocket. And I was put into a classroom in front of American students one week after I landed here. I was their TA for Calculus II. One of the students was Charles Smith. It was at the University of Houston.
Charlie was not a teenager student. He had worked several years before he decided to go back to school and to get his bachelor’s degree. He was a very nice gentleman.
This is at Zhiling Elementary School (灵智小学) in Wuhan City (武汉), Hubei Province. It is established on the roof of a residential building and has been there for 12 years. Most of the children are from migrating workers. Now, there are 18 teachers, almost 400 students.
This is a story back in September 2011. Someone with an ID “Huaguoshan general secretary” (花果山总书记) provided watches of senior government officers based on photos of official news. All of those watches are worth of several thousands or even dozens of Euros, made in Europe.
This was probably the worst senior center in the world. The photos were taken at Shuiquan County (水泉乡), Shuangcheng City (双城市) near Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province (黑龙江省哈尔滨市). It seems that the center is built in 1985.
These photos were taken by volunteers at a mountain area in Banren town, LuoDian County, Guizhou Province (贵州罗甸县班仁乡). It is about 80 kilometers (50 miles) from downtown. So far, there is only one sand road.
This building is at Wuzhangyuan, Qishen County (岐山县五丈原), Shannxi Province (陕西). It is the main gate of a local manufactory. It is 33 meters high, 45 meters wide. It is a counterfeit of Tiananmen in Beijing.
