Side note: One reason the Han have issues with the minorities of China is because the government grants them “special permission”. It is illegal for “Chinese”/Han to bury their dead (because of the high population). There are other examples, such as more than one child without a financial penalty or students are given points on their college entrance exam depending on their minority group. This frustrates many “Chinese”/Han and they view it as unfair.
Dear Eleanor
You are an inspiration for me. I have a deep respcect for the courage that is yours in this choice of a nomadic life toward a very foreign land. I am an experimented cyclist for whom there is more adventure on the road to come.
I am writing to you from Montréal in Québec.
Thanks Daniel, that’s very kind of you. Keep on riding and maybe I’ll see you out here some day!
