Visitor
Franklin Ishida from the Lutheran church sponsoring agency came to Baotou -- our very first visitor.He impressed Diane's students with his Japanese, his insights on being a Japanese American, and his explanation of the role of the church in China and the world. We toured the Red Revolutionary Museum which houses a hundred statues in all sizes of Chairman Mao, a large display of his little red book, and learned of the 3 wheels of revolutionary success -- a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a watch.
