@Liumingke: Do you really think of foreigners in China being in a situation of us vs. them?
Either you're joking or paranoid.

Relocations can be good or bad; when Power decides they must be forced, it should be a wake-up call that Power has been, and is still, doing something wrong.

Outlet for train/bus tickets just across bridge from north end of Wenhua Xiang - go there, show passport, buy ticket, get it immediately.

I.e.: Absolute private/group ownership is only a concept; doesn't exist in the real world, where what 'ownership' means is always a matter of some compromise between common agreement concerning use rights, on the one hand, and concentrated power on the other. Nice when the compromise is accurately and clearly specified in law, and the law is enforced, though - which seems not to be what happened in John Israel's case.

Then we can decide what to do about, e.g., 19th century Alabama laws, or any laws about ownership.

OK. but I think.I'd use 'they', for accuracy' - 'we' is too simple and too vague, besides which it seems to speak primarily to US and Chinese posters.

Anyway, note that, for the US military and government, the China theatre was considered the least important of the various theatres of WWII in which US military personnel were engaged, whereas for the Chinese it was, obviously, the most important.

TK2018: Yes, I agree. Very nice writing, not just of the place but also of the experience. I envy the author this one. In reading the article I found myself remembering a few experiences I've had in similar mountain country decades ago (I hope this doesn't sound like boasting) and thinking the author and I had attained more or less the same plane, something we could share if we met - I could identify. Not everyone can express it this well.

I'm not a health foody but the few meals I've had here have been really good and, yeah, I'll be happy to go back alone to sample all the rest of them. It's also not a bad place from which to people-watch the street below.
