Zhejiang Day 2: Haining City




On the second day, we went to the neighboring city, Haining and visited one of the tourist places there: the house of Xu Zhi Mo, a famous poet. It reminded me of ancestral houses in southern Philippines.

After that, we went somewhere (it's all becoming a blur now) to watch the tide. You may also watch a video of that tide in my video section.

  2. I don't know. But if you look at his class card, he was enrolled in the Shanghai Baptist College and Theological Seminary. He even got good grades in his Bible courses.

  3. Onga. 1915-1916 siya nag-aral dyan. It would be interesting to look at the different religions existing in China through the years.

  8. Uh, yes. He got married to his first wife when he was 16, I think. We could research about him more if you want.
