Ma'anshan Happenings Oct. 2006

There are not too many images here. The first 8 are of the 50th Anniversary of Ma'anshan being a city.

I was lucky enough to have been one of three foreigners invited to the celebrations as a VIP.

The evening celebrations were the best with front row seats at the Nanhu Hotel (most upmarket hotel in the city) for the 2 Million Yuan Fireworks Display. Awesome.

The next three are of an old gentleman we have met. He was imprisoned for 17 years for making public comments about the Communist Party during the revolution. He has written a book about his life and ordeals which we are starting to translate into English together.

The last two are of the mandatory month's military training for all new students each year.
