You sound like a Hiliary "lock her up" supporter.
@Peter 99 is an optimist. Just like Trump.

@Baimei

Well, cheers for that. This board has been infested with the stereotype english teacher sjw lefties - of the girly men type - and as u can see I dont get particularily well along with them. I apologize I took u for one. (Then theres the also our socialist “worker” who has never worked in his entire life, somehow barely managing it, just I leave my speculations out on that.)

So you must know the story of the american pilot that supposedly was the first western slave in Yi society on Cold Mountains.

Anything to share on that? Heard some people went in there to hunt that story in the 90’s.

@ lemon...lover

It was meant that Pollards book (actually books) on Yi and Cold mountains are great reads.

That book in the link is the one Im not familiar with. If that would matter anyway...

Those days, Kunming was infested with botanists, explorers, missionaries, even artists and people seeking knowledge or spiritual endeavours. When one reads those books, it gives some perspective.

Even a famous englishman studying zen on Western Hills. Thats quite an achievement of an englishman.

After reading all this garbage based around knocking down the OP,

I've realized that Peter has knowledge and something to offer in terms of local history here whilst those attacking him just sound like your typical, arrogant, opinionated, common, red or blue, western voter that left their country because it's rubbish now.
