The people of China.........

I want to take this opportunity to talk about the people of China.

In most instances, we all have pre-conceived ideas about the people of the country to which we are traveling. This certainly was the case for us.

Our main reason for going to China early was to learn as much as possible about our newest granddaughter's people and country. What we found was amazing.

The Chinese people are the most gracious, caring and loving people that we have had the pleasure of meeting. We never felt the least bit like outsiders. Everywhere that we went we were treated with the greatest respect.

Also, they seem to have patience beyond comprehension. I guess in a country of 1.25 billion people, patience is truly a virtue. They certainly show no outward indication that they get upset with anyone.

Another thing that was obvious was how industrious they are. Everyone was trying in their own way to earn a living.
