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.
was this poet a catholic? interesting painitng for a communist poet. or was he one?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteBaptist... Protestant siya! Astigas!
ReplyDeleteOnga. 1915-1916 siya nag-aral dyan. It would be interesting to look at the different religions existing in China through the years.

ReplyDeleteMinidiot, you never stop making me think.
ReplyDeleteso we're saying he has catholic or protestant influence and 2 wives and a lover? that's a good combination.
ReplyDeleteUh, yes. He got married to his first wife when he was 16, I think. We could research about him more if you want.
ReplyDeletegarfield doesn't look too orange in the picture.
ReplyDeleteThat's because I borrowed his orange hair, er, fur, whatever. Orangeness.
