Iglesia en el parque
Vivimos en un apartamento encantador, espacioso en un complejo de cuatro edificios un bloque de los estudios de PPI. Éramos los únicos extranjeros en el área, así que estábamos parados hacia fuera. La gente local era amistosa y los protectores en la puerta eran siempre provechosos. Teníamos dos dormitorios, uno de los cuales se convirtió en oficina de Lovy, dos baños, una cocina china, cenando el sitio y la sala de estar. Vivimos en el cuarto piso y nuestro balcón pasó por alto una intersección ocupada que proporcionó mucha hospitalidad. Gozamos tarde - de cenas de la noche en el balcón que miraban el desfile de la tarde de la humanidad abajo. Estaba siempre ocupado, siempre cambiando dependiendo de la hora o de la estación.
Apenas a través de la calle de la oficina estaban el parque de Zhongshan, un oasis en el medio del ocupado, el palpitar, y la sección ruidosa de la ciudad. Estaba sobre seis bloques cuadrados de la ciudad con follaje tropical pesado, piscinas, canales, jardines chinos de la roca, puentes, campos para el cometa-vuelo, bancos y porciones de áreas abiertas de la hierba. Durante fines de semana, fue apretado con las familias con los niños y los abuelos. Lea el resto del “capítulo cinco de China: La iglesia en el parque, mendigo en la calle” o fija un comentario

AUTORIZACIÓN, la admitiré. Tengo gusto de algunas canciones de Navidad.
No tanto “Rudolph el reno Rojo-Olfateado” como algunos los más tradicionales. So I get a kick out of hearing these songs sung in Chinese. Thinking that some of you may feel the same way (you all seemed to really enjoy the Hakka Jingle Bells song), I decided to put together an album of Chinese Christmas music.
This album contains secular kids’ classics like “Jingle Bells” as well as religious classics like “What Child is This.” Some songs sound like they are sung by a church choir, while others are .…

OK, I’ll admit it. I like some Christmas songs. Not so much “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” as some of the more traditional ones. So I get a kick out of hearing these songs sung in Chinese. Thinking that some of you may feel the same way (you all seemed to really enjoy the Hakka Jingle Bells song), I decided to put together an album of Chinese Christmas music.
This album contains secular kids’ classics like “Jingle Bells” as well as religious classics like “What Child is This.” Some songs sound like they are sung by a church choir, while others are more playful. Some of the songs’ sound quality is good, while others’ are abysmally low. The melodies are familiar, but the lyrics are all in Chinese. Oh, yes. You need this to make your Christmas complete.The Sinosplice Chinese Christmas Song Album (~40 MB)

Lovy and I were high-school sweethearts and were married for forty-three years before her untimely death. She had worked and put me through university and contributed mightily to the financial stores of our maturing family. This adventure allowed her the opportunity to retire from being a certified dental assistant and enjoy a totally new life, and China, which she did.

About Lovy
Lovy and I were high-school sweethearts and were married for forty-three years before her untimely death. She had worked and put me through university and contributed mightily to the financial stores of our maturing family. This adventure allowed her the opportunity to retire from being a certified dental assistant and enjoy a totally new life, and China, which she did.
Lovy Catherine Edinger was her official birth name. Her father, Phil always wanted a daughter with that name. Of course, her name always got attention. Imagine sitting in your dentist’s chair receiving your regular check-up and the dentist says to his assistant, “Lovy, please pass the suction tube.” What thoughts would go through your mind? At work, Lovy was called Lee.
When at a party or shopping in a crowd, instead of me calling her name out loud, we had a signature call, “Yoo hoo” that she responded to, knowing I was looking for her.
When we met new people who reacted to her name, I would suggest that it was her name that was an important factor in our long-term, stable and happy marriage. In any normal relationships, there are times of anger and frustration as was in ours. I found it difficult to Read the rest of “China Chapter Four: A Wife in Shanghai” or post a comment
